D U N G E O N S ! ! !

I'm so excited the get more dungeons. It's been too long since we got the last set.

I'm already trying to speculate on the locations here. The one is definitely Redguard, but for some reason I'm getting a bit of a Hew's Bane feeling from it. Be interesting, since that's one of the few zones without any dungeons yet.

The other could be anything. It's Imperial, obviously, but there's not much else to go on... yet. It reminds me a lot of Sancre Tor from the Main Quest, but the overgrown cave could be almost anywhere really. That banner's interesting though - Red Diamond and a laurel (?) underneath...

Kind of relieved there's a content I'm primarily playing the game for at the very least. Also glad it's imperial and redguard from the looks of it. Cautious about griffins, not my favourite enemy type to say the least.

Could the statue be St Alessia perhaps?

the statue is the imperial champion statue we can buy from the Luxury Furnisher.

yay update 45!

very excited to see what this update contains.
Looks like the dungeons are in Cyrodiil and Hammerfell, nice new banner and pretty gryphon.

Lots of vibrant plants, maybe on the southern edge? And I see an eagle (griffin, considering the other pic?) at the top too.

The fences in the Hammerfell-looking dungeon appear to be a new Redguard structural asset from what I can tell:

In case anyone wants to wildly speculate about upcoming zones lol.

it's not new as it's in Abah's Landing, Hew's Bane.
a dlc from nearly 10 years ago.

I've been hoping for a really really really (and I do mean really) long time for a continuation of the TG/Hews Bane storyline.

If that were to happen I'd be so overjoyed that.. hmmm, probably best not said on a public forum.

I think the Imperial-themed dungeon will be set in the Gold Coast, involving the Dark Brotherhood, while the Redguard-themed dungeon will be set in Hew's Bane and involve the Thieves Guild. They said they'd be revisiting older content, so I really hope this is the case.

Hey, an email went out a few minutes ago about this and the time was listed as 1 PM EDT. I came here to make sure y'all knew about that and to use EST since that is what we are in right now - but it turns out the time was technically accurate. 1 PM EDT is 2 PM EST, the time of the feed. I suppose not much will be off since people might show up an hour early if they go off the email. They wouldn't have missed the show.

Anyway, that's what I had to say.

There was an error in that communication. It should have read "2PM EST". We have informed the team related to that communication and working on making that process more clear to avoid timing errors in the future. Thanks for flagging this.

Seems to be some optimism that there will be two dungeons announced in this stream. I'm not convinced of that as I think it is quite possible there is only one.

Here’s hoping they merge the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild DLC’s into the base game, and start adding quests related to them across the zones as they start revisiting them.

Exciting! Looking foward to it!
