After satisfying the nostalgia of the people, can we finally move on to new regions?

Teridaxus · May 2017

When i first heard about eso, i hoped to explore the rest of tamriel instead of waiting 30 years for bethesda to make enough single player games to cover the rest,
but the last two added areas were already known to us with the gold coast and morrowind.

I would prefer to visit the years ago mentioned murkmire or the daedric realm of mephala called spiral skein instead of getting a remade of skyrim or sheogorath or hermaeus moras next year.
Before people go with pitch forks at me, im not bashing zos for the current content which is very good, i just don't want that they only ride the nostalgia train.

Nope on to Daggerfall and Arena

ESO has a bright future ahead with at least 2 map DLCs, 1 dungeon DLC and 1 Chapter, which gives us many many places to explore. Besides that, Zenimax does have a huge plan for the future regarding the rest of Tamriel since its a MMO, it's making a huge profit and they've made a great questline to link ESO to it's future.

We already have the locales for Daggerfall and Arena included all of Tamriel.

Yup.

Summerset Isles. That is all.

@Bo0137 We can't verify this claim as Zenimax Media is a private company and thus has no obligation to publish annual 10-k reports.

I certainly hope it's true though.

Part of me wants to see new lands but part of me wants to see Winterhaven before it fell into the sea.

davey1107 · May 2017

I really want the new chapter next summer to be elseweyr, but I'm cynically expecting murkmire. The section you visit in the dark bro quest line was very pretty, but I flipping hate Argonian storylines, I can't stand Shadowfen, and like only 1% of toons are argonian...a good indicator of how popular they are.

We've had major expansion into D.C. (Wrothgar) and EP (Morrowind) so the next should be in AD territory. That'd likely be elseweyr or summerset isles.

JiKama · May 2017

Elseweyr and more Khajiit breeds pls.

Ahh, the other half of Skyrim. Nice choice but they did Osinium (DC) and Vvardenfell (EP) so look for either Elsweyr, home of the skooma-addled fleabags Khajiit, or a plane of Oblivion.

QuebraRegra · May 2017

would buy the SOLSTHEIM "expansion" and new Riekling race, with their Bristleback mounts and lances!

Imagine the reaction of players in Cyrodill when a zerg of 100 Rieklings comes lancing over the hill on the backs of their bristlebacks, sweeping the lands clean!

Take mah money, take all of it, take it NOW!

kip_silverwolf · May 2017

I'm hanging out for Whiterun as I enjoy riding that nostalgia train.

Skyforge, Jorrvaskr...aaah, sweet memories!

Stovahkiin · May 2017

Either Summerset Isle or Elsweyr next, preferably Elsweyr.

Vasoka · May 2017

No. Unlock Whiterun.

Danikat · May 2017

I agree. As much as it can be nice to revisit familiar territory in a different era I'd much rather see some of the parts of Tamriel, and the rest of Nirn, we've never been to before.

Or even ones we haven't been to since Arena, since that game looked and played very differently so it'd be a much bigger change.

It would also be nice to see them have to market a release on something other than nostalgia. Part of me wonders if that's what's holding them back - they don't know how to sell it if it's not a re-hash of something they can tell us we loved before.

Dracofyre · May 2017

Blackreach!

Iccotak · May 2017

Personally I want Murkmire.

Baconlad · May 2017

Next expac should be kitty homeland or high elf homeland. Much as i want to see skyrim, thats the nest best options here

Osteos · May 2017

I'll add another vote for Winterhold.

nhisso · May 2017

As you can see from the comments, the skyfail kids will ensure more of skyrim is unlocked. Because nostalgia to low brows with **** taste in RPGs means a 5 year old *** poor excuse of an RPG.

Im guessing what is holding them back is that if they do a never before seen region, they have to somewhat stick to what zeni creates when/if Bethesda makes the next single player elder scrolls. Although im guessing skyfail2 will be the next game because of the skyfail kids.

Mashille · May 2017

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure next year's 'Chapter' is Skyrim to please all it's fanboys.

The zone on the map was datermined a while ago.

You sound bitter.

I've been waiting for Murkmire for quite a while now; I'd also like to explore some of the lesser Princes' realms like Peryite. Seriously, where is Peryite? Please?

Summerset and Elsweyr would also be neat, but I fear Summerset's distance from the mainland would make it difficult to justify getting there. Vvardenfell isn't that far off the coast, you can see The Rift and Stonefalls from it. Summerset you've got a whole ocean to deal with.
Disregard, I actually looked at a map and I was totally thinking of Pyandomea or whatever the Maormer land is called. I do, however, wonder what they'd even come up with...

Oh good lord, shut up.

Casdha · May 2017

Do we need to bring back the discussion of Akavir again and all of its races, now that would be a true expansion, races and all. And PvP between continents on the other deadric realms.

Actually (and now spoiler)

After I finished the Balmorra questline, that was a minor indicator maybe that the next chapter is taking us to Summerset

Yes but we also had cyrodil for oblivion and we still got the gold coast.

QuebraRegra · May 2017

if I win the lottery, I will fund a new BLOODMOON expansion with playable Riekling race... That or a kickstarter... can we geta BLOODMOON kickstarter over here?

comon lady luck!

MasterSpatula · May 2017

I would imagine the next chapter would be Summerset/Alinor. That's speculation, but I think it's solid speculation.

Between now and then, we can expect one DLC with basegame changes, one DLC with nothing but new dungeons, and one DLC with a new area. Honestly, it's anyone's guess what the new area will be.
