You want a chapter hint? I got one for ya. Hint.

FYI this isn't a clip from the upcoming trailer, it's just stock footage of a stormy sea

That is disappointing. Is there even going to be any type of reveal today?

Yes, but these things don't happen this early in the morning. They have to get their coffee, select the optimal donut, etc...

I doubt this is just a single person pushing a single button. Different people are involved, and have to do different things, and they probably have a scheduled time for all this to happen.

Reveal? Definitely no. But we'll most likely get the announcement and a dev letter of what to expect for this year. The official announcement of the new chapter will most likely take place towards the end of January, as usual.

Pirates of the Abecean? Where’s Captain Spack Jarrow?

I doubt that all we are going to know by the end of today is the date of the next announcement. The official announcement will be later this month, but I think the tease they do today will settle a lot of debates about the upcoming story. They might just come out with an official "Soon™" for us to "save the date", but that would be a marketing tragedy. They already have hype built up, mostly by the fans of the game, and now they need to feed it with more than just dates.

(and just to be clear... I am building on the above quote, not countering it)

Often things that happen (events starting, things in the store, previous announcements) happen at 3pm UK time or thereabouts.

It just seems to be when they like to do these things.

No guarantees mind - just history suggests they really like that time of day.

The "stormy" sea tweet was 5pm UTC yesterday.

agelonestar · January 2022

Essentially, there will be seasickness.

It's not the hint I was hoping for

rexagamemnon · January 2022

@ZOS_Kevin ok its “tomorrow” now, no more hints! I want answers!!😂

“Any reveal” meaning even a teaser. The final cinematic for elsweyr had a small teaser reveal at the end about Skyrim. I was thinking they may do something similar with Blackwood.

Based on when we got the tease, it will most likely come in just over an hour.

SantieClaws · January 2022

To be honest this one is only expecting the sort of vague hints that will lead to more feverish speculation for a week or so until they tell us something more.

All aboard the hype train - final destination ... unknown.

Of course the real information usually comes from our noble dataminers when the next update hits PTS.

Which can't be too far away thinking about it.

its exactly how it works

people think that if they find something on the internet that it is public domain, but that is not the case. it is actually harder to make something public domain then it is to copyright it

when a piece of original work is uploaded to the internet, it establishes copyright. The tweet zos sent used works created by someone else. I am just curious if they got permission to use it first.

also, it does not fall under fair use nor creative commons which is not part of copyright law, but an organization where people share works to share.

I think I've got it. The next ESO expansion will be called "Mists of Pyandonea". The framing device will be that a naval conflict in the Three Banners War leads to some shipwrecking on the continent of Pyandonea. As reinforcements close in, the island becomes the newest battleground in the Three Banners War, and each of the factions tries to recruit some of the locals to join in the effort.... and as the war continues on, it unleashes horrors that culminates in King Jorunn deciding to wage war on the entire world after deciding to use forbidden weapons his forces dug up on Pyandonea. This in turn leads to us having to lay siege to Windhelm at the end of the expansion to stop him from destroying the world.

Nah more like the dominion way of thinking

We don't need a Mist of Pandora in ESO 😂

Remember article said it's about a 'playable' race not yet covered in ESO.

That race has to be Redguard.

Unless its a new race

I doubt that any communications from a company of this size is published without being signed off do you?

It's not a random private tweet from some mate of a cousin of some chap that work in the post room is it.

All aboard the hype boat!

Choo ... splash?
