The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind streamed launch party?

Back in 2015, ArenaNet held a launch party at its HQ during the hours leading up to the midnight launch of Guild Wars 2's first expansion Heart of Thorns that it live-streamed on Twitch. The employees there were celebrating in the back as the live-stream's host interviewed various people throughout the night. It was actually pretty fun to watch.

Will Zenimax have a similar launch party at its HQ leading up to a midnight launch of The Elder Scrolls Online's first expansion Morrowind this coming June, replete with a live-stream with various interviews and such?

    I'd totally watch this with my guildies in Discord. While we wait for the update deployment!

    One of the fun things the host did at the beginning of each interview was to have have both her and her guest have a toast... in this case, actual toast, with the guest's choice of butter, margarine or something similar to Nutella spread on it. :)

    However, are the chances of a launch party for Morrowind hurt by the fact that while the Heart of Thorn launch party occurred during the last hours of a Friday, the Morrowind launch party would occur during the last few hours of a Monday? :open_mouth:

    General observation: companies that launch a new product on a Friday afternoon are confident in their QA testing, companies that launch a new product on a Monday morning are not. Discuss.

    Those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse.
    Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse.

    Although Morrowind is actually scheduled to be released on a Tuesday, that still doesn't seem to bode well for it, right? :(

    At this point, I'm hoping/dreaming/assuming a midnight launch.

    It's not necessarily a deal-breaker if it isn't, though. I was just curious if there was going to be a festive Twitch live-stream from Zenimax HQ building up to the launch replete with face-to-face interviews, a tour of the HQ, a view of the party there, etc.

    It actually could be somewhat easier for TESO players around the country to watch than it was for GW2 players two years ago: ArenaNet is located in Washington state, so their midnight is the East Coast's 3:00am, whereas Maryland-based Zenimax's midnight would be the West Coast's 9:00pm. :)

    Has there been any word lately on whether the expansion's release will be accompanied by a live Twitch or YouTube (or whatever else) launch party?

    Oh, okay... this may explain why there won't be a single unified launch party. :(

    And indeed there'll be no launch party after all. :(

    If you bought Marrowind I'd hunker down for a long patch day . We have yet to see one release without a hitch .
