The teaser trailer for 2022

Tenthirty2

This looks amazing!
And while that city in the cove isn't built out of shipwrecks that whole scene gave me heavy Shipwreck Cove (PotC:AWE) vibes!
Whatever it is I hope there is a house there bcuz that area is gorgeous!

How can they be so blatant in ripping off the GOT’s music. I’m embarrassed for them and ashamed of being a player now. I hope ESO has a better ending.

Sarcasm yes?

When we have Breton theme... I wonder if that means that Darien will also reappear....?

Mandragora

I have to say this does look exciting.

I know! My suspicion is that, if this is High Isle, we'll be seeing a new side to Breton culture that's more on the Italian/Spanish end, as opposed to the French/British inspired people we see in the base game. Hype!

This one hopes to see Crafty Lerissa and her crew returning

In the trailer the character we see is a Breton, they're wearing Breton heavy armor.

:39 in the video. That isn't a Breton greatsword.

:48 Those aren't Breton shoulders (the fur alone gives it away), or helm.

:49 Definitely a male. Look at that back.

I agree on the sword, helm, and shoulders 100%, but they also aren't similar to anything else I can recognize in- game.

The chestplate, shoes and, the belt look extremely like Breton armor.

However, as always they will introduce many new motifs and I expect one of those motifs to be the style of the Bretons that live on this island.

The armor shown in the promo might be the outfit style we're getting for the pre-order, but idk. It looks similar to Ancestral Breton, but there are some differences.

Of course, there are some differences, I didn't mean to say it is Ancestral Breton I just meant to say the fact it looks so similar suggests the character, and hence the population of the island is likely to be Breton.

No I agree! And I wholeheartedly hope it is Bretons. I'm prepping a writeup if it is because holy heck, I wanna see them fleshed out. They got some pretty awesome Enlightenment vibes with ESO, and seeing those expanded upon would be great.

Hmm.

Well perhaps we go into some big Akatosh related time water whirlpool to an island that existed in the past to try to stop the person who destroys it in the future?

But we do not see that bit so it is not so end of the world as before no.

Also just over the hill where you cannot see is a very cool little Khajiit fishing village where we discover how Fishmas began long ago over a shared salmon dinner in times of hardship.

Also the local Breton types treasure yarn as an exotic treasure because there is no room on the island for their own sheep.

Yarn and fish. The simple dreams of this one.

The armor looks very Breton to me, the sword is the only thing that does look a bit off. You gotta consider though, first, this is a cinematic, so the style of the armor could not completely represent ones in the game, and second, the base game racial styles are so old and outdated that this could be simply a slight redesign.

If you look at the Breton style links, you can clearly see the glaring differences.

It's a teaser vid. It's meant to supply clues.

If you shoehorn yourself into believing something because you want it bad enough, you'll ignore what is in front of your face.

But I guess we'll see in 3 weeks.

I can assure you I'm not shoehorning myself into any belief, as for one, I'm gonna be pretty disappointed if it is actually a Breton themed chapter (I would have much preferred a Redguard one, but hey, there's a lot of Redguard pirates, so maybe we'll get something from that). I am simply calling what I see, no need to go all "wake up sheeple" here, we're all just speculating.

As a Breton fan, I was disappointed we got 3.5 zones and barely scraped the surface of what Bretons were. They have a reputation as being bland and boring, when all their interesting stuff is just beneath the surface.

This year will hopefully change that.

If it adds boating and little islands all over to explore out in the ocean it would be crazy.

I will admit, I'm not very savvy when it comes to Breton lore, but the kinda generic medieval setting of most of High Rock turned me off instantly. I myself find Reachmen much more interesting, even though they are not properly Breton, I guess. What would you say is an interesting piece or theme in Breton lore?

Yeah, I'm getting Amalfi Coast flashbacks. Looks like a gorgeous setting. Maybe a heretofore-unknown island somewhere in High Rock?

Ha, that's exactly what I said in the other thread. I even held up a picture of Amalfi, and it's a dead ringer.

Also Sicilian flashbacks, it’s very Italianate for sure. Very pretty.

Looked at what is being speculated elsewhere - ESO hub is going with Pyandorea/Maormer - but I think they are reaching. Just do not get a Maomer feel from this trailer.

Its for sure High Isle, the biggest give away they did was the Breton armor which basically confirms the Datamines basically. Its one hundred percent a Breton chapter and expansion.

Caroloces

I wonder if it could be the islands of Yokuda, to the west of Daggerfall. Supposedly, the continent of Yokuda sank beneath the sea in the first era, but some islands remained.

Although the mainland was completely lost, several islands remained and were included on one late-Second Era map of West Tamriel. According to residents of Anvil during the late-Third Era, ships still sailed to Yokuda from Anvil,[19] and some texts referred to the continent as if it still exists in some form.[20]

Additionally, there is mention of a magical sword stroke called the Pankratosword wielded by the highest sword masters that was

a maneuver that could destroy the very laws of nature.[UOL 1]

This seems evident in the teaser trailer when the knight sweeps the ships off the battle map.

Check out this 2nd era map of the western portion of Tamriel:

It could be some leftover island from Yokuda, but I really doubt it. Again, the feel it gave me is much more Breton than Redguard or Yokudan. Plus, I believe the sword stroke you mention is an actual stroke that is supposed to be executed with a weapon towards a target, not just using one to sweep miniatures off a map.

Edit: Ok, just checked, and the Pankratosword is a technique that requires the user to summon their Shehai (Spirit Sword), and then use that to execute the maneuver, so definitely not what the knight at the end is doing. Regardless, the armor he's wearing is 100% neither Redguard or Yokudan, so there's that too.

While we are here, I would just like to take the opportunity to BEG to finally get at least one more new character slot with this chapter. It has been years, and I am already dying to create new characters to start here.

Seconded. Else I’ll have to spend the next few months weighing up which of my 18 might be for the chop. Will not be easy, as yes, do play them all.

Just one slot. One. Please? Pretty please?

I still haven't been able to bring myself to delete any of mine (I have 18 each on both NA and EU). Which is why I still haven't played through Blackwood or Greymoor, and why I had previously said I would never preorder again until they add more slots, even though I've preordered everything since Morrowind.

Even though I eventually hit all the zones on older alts, there's nothing quite like that feeling of experiencing a new chapter for the first time with a brand new character. It's not quite like the feeling of playing a game for the first time, but it's as close as you can get.

Because it is not. We already have an in depth datamine of the upcoming chapter zone, the trial and the two dungeons for Q1.

It will be a Breton chapter based on an island called High Isle.

Does anyone have a link to this datamine? I'm not disputing, just curious.

Gleitfrosch

so much speculation and hopes.
- naval warfare
- guild ships
- etc.

and in the end it will maybe be a normal addon with a main quest similar to the other main quests we had.

Hey, I should have added it, sorry.

This datamine is a bit different than the last ones, but what has been said prior to the announcement has been come true already, so I stick with it and say it’s real. I‘m quoting another guy from another topic and there you can find everything:

All I know is that apparently one of the patrollers and editors for the fandom and who is also an editor and patroller on the UESP, found a text file that listed various areas and locations, and assets. Not in the game yet but listed in some type of text file found within the data. Then did pages on the fandom, revealing the information found in prelease articles.

https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/High_Isle
https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Dread_Sail_Reef
https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Coral_Aerie
https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Rivenyard
Now I trust the editor, didn't make a big mistake given his roles he plays and serves for both the Fandom and the UESP. UESP's polices
I believe prevents this type of information from being added on the UESP and given the context of it we wouldn't do that, I sure wouldn't. But Fandom has no such restriction and this editor released articles on the Fandom.

So basically all of this apparently comes from a text file hidden within the data and given we got a twitter post showing an ocean by Zenimax, I think its safe to assume that the information is accurate. We will have to wait for the reveal though, as anything is possible still.

Ghanima_Atreides

@Seraphayel Thanks! It does look plausible, I'll say that much.

Last I heard here it was Sword-Woman?

OtarTheMad

Very interesting, pretty hype.

Does anyone else notice that at the beginning of the video the swords-person swiped away three ships... kind of odd that he/she knew they were coming. It's a cinematic so I am not reading much into it but be cool if by some magic spell he/she knew how much ships were coming and what they looked like... cause they were exact replicas.

Ashnarug

Is that the title of the new chapter: "A Storm Rises" ?
