Vvardenfell is in the Ebonheart area. Summerset is in the Altmeri area. So the next chapter should be in the Daggerfall area. No idea what it could be tho.

The only area big enough left for DC is Hammerfell. I for one would love to see the city of Taneth and the other cities within the Alik'r Desert. I mean, it would make for a great teaser of ES6 (if it takes place in Hammerfell that is).

Where does it say that the next chapter has to be dc because the previous ones were ep and ad?

Orsinium would be a chapter if they came up with the concept back then.

That's nothing more than one big coincidence with nothing else to back it up. There isnt any kind of hint or clue in game to point toward going toward High Rock or Hammerfell either. Just because it makes sense and seems fair to the player, doesnt mean it will happen.

ESO_Nightingale · November 2018

Elsweyr seems to be the best option. We need more lore and representation! Then after that i would say maybe the reach or southern hammerfell. Maybe a siege a of pyandonia or something cool.

what bout the Spiral Skein?

For the last 2 years the pattern has been New Zone (small) -> New Dungeons -> New Zone (big) -> New Dungeons -> New Zone (small) -> New Dungeons -> New Zone (big) -> New Dungeons, etc. Given that we just got the small zone DLC, it seems likely the next DLC will be a dungeon pack. And given that the next crates that have been mined appear to be Elsweyr themed, it stands to reason that these will be crates themed after the new DUNGEON dlc, no? IE we may see Elsweyr/Khajiit dungeons rather than the zone.

Here's a link, but it is not in English. If shortly, a crate cover is datamined, and it is called crowncrate_baandaripedlar_back

Also, Xanmeer crate cover is datamined. So, logically, Xanmeer crates first, and Baandari next

Did anyone notice the chicken is standing in Riverwood from Skyrim? It's called the Riverwood white hen. HMMMM? Hint hint?

themaddaedra · November 2018

Well i feel like OP is forcing their imaginations to become realities.

I wouldn't mind Khajit themed stuff, i like them cats but i currently doubt they will make a chapter based on beast folk. We had quite some Mer chapters and it feels like time for a Men one, which reminds me of Redguard or Breton. Could also be Nords or Imperials but i highly doubt those.

Another reason i think it'll be Breton or Redguard is that chapters are indeed rotating. Whenever someone talks about chapters OP answers with general content, like dungeon or zone dlcs. In fact, chapters are not like any other. They are basically bigger than all other 3 dlcs released during that year. So clearly it's been Orsinium, Morrowind and Summerset.

I'm not saying they will keep rotating around factions as i can't know ZoS' intentions, but they have been rotating so far.

WeerW3ir · November 2018

We know this since Summerset. but there is some info and possible outcome.

1. - in 2019 we go to Elsweyr. Razum-dar and some char. even mentioning it they plan to go there. Datamining mentions items from there.
2. If they following the rotation the we go to Blue side now. and we possible get the Redfall. (yes. the name is speculations. it was leaked but nobody knows if its for TES VI or ESO) Anyway. in that case we get more from Hammerfell.
3. We go to Skyrim. Because in datamining it was hinted and in rotation its halfly passing. But its possible we go to skyrim in 2021 because of the 10th year anniversary >_>
4. We go outside of Tamriel. Into a new Continent. Possible to Pyandonea or a Realm. But the main story goes toward in years because soon we have to reach the next main point in the Lore/History

I agree that they want to do a Chapter in each Alliance. Not so much a "rotation" as a "to do list".

I also think that, if Bethesda Game Studios is going to use any location in Tamriel for TES 6, they have Elsweyr "reserved". BGS needs to break out of the northern bias they have for ES games.

Anyway, ZOS won't go to the TES 6 location until after TES 6 comes out. I am fairly certain that BGS wants complete creative control and they do not want to bow to decisions made by ZOS. This makes speculating on an ESO DLC or Chapter in Elsweyr risky.

ZOS will probably give a formal hint as to the next chapter location in the end of the year message, or beginning of the year message, whenever the person who writes those things can be roused from a year-long nap.

Redfall is not related to ESO. It is way too early for the 2019 Chapter trademark. They did not even file for Summerset until December of the year before. Redfall was filed in March of this year. Way too soon, unless they have changed trademarking practices. It is a DLC title, but probably not for ESO.

Number 5 is interesting because it gets them off of Tamriel, away from BGS (if they are in Tamriel), and allows ZOS to create some entirely new IP for Elder Scrolls. It is actually hinted at in the game by one of the NPCs for Murkmire.

ZOS knows people datamine for clues to upcoming content. If you have watched ESO Live, or seen them, you know they will get amusement from our guessing. That leads to the devs playing mind games with us by planting seeds, some intentionally leading in the wrong direction. They would not want to make it too easy, until they can't avoid it. Until then, we are being watched and talked about as we speculate.

Ah, yes...The expansion for people who love cats.

hC4BC291D

I approve of this and hope the next expac will bring exactly that.

But an expansion for Redguards would also be pretty cool.

Well yeah it might just also be about giving a chapter to each alliance then take another road, but it'd still be a rotation as they did complete a cycle. Like, expecting something that's already happening to happen again is more likely than expecting something that never happened to happen. And as i said i'm not expecting them to do any chapters based on beast folk, Argonians got a zone DLC and Khajiti will prolly have a zone or dungeon DLC for themselves too. I'm expecting a Men chapter.

StormChaser3000 · November 2018

They have already made Elswyr themed crown crates (info from data mining) and prepared some desert related mounts (not sure about apex ones, but there are some normal ones 100%).

This alone is enough for me to bet that the very next chapter or dlc will take place at CatLand.

Well, my point of not calling it a "rotation" is that they will do a Daggerfall Covenant chapter, but I don't want to go all the way and say it will be the 2019 chapter. It is a distinct possibility that they could do Sunforge+Khefrem next and fill out the rest of Hammerfell. It would be very desert, compared to the previous Chapters and DLC. On the other hand, they could change things up and get away from the expected Tamriel locations, where they are constantly compared to existing maps and lore. After that, they could get back to a place in Tamriel.

Two Dominion zones, back to back, would be a little unusual. If they're talking about Sunbathing and warm sands, my first thought is Sunforge. Also, remember, the province is "Elsweyr," not "elsewhere." If ZOS is continuing their clockwise rotation through the map, Sunforge was part of the 2014 QuakeCon video, and it would follow after Summerset that we'd be heading back to some of the last open spots on the Covenant map.

The only thing holding us back from another Hammerfell zone is that we already have so much Hammerfell content in the game (including 2 DLC):

Stros M'Kai
Alik'r Desert
Hew's Bane
1/2 of Bangkorai
1/2 of Craglorn

The Khajiit, on the other hand, are the most underrepresented race in the game (with respect to explorable territory). They just have a starter island and half of a zone.

All of craglorn is hammerfell

Aluneth · November 2018

Had enough of AD with Summerset and would like a break from it. I'm crossing my fingers that we're not getting Elsweyr.

Who even cares about the Alliances at this point? The desire for Elsweyr is purely exploration and Lore.

Alliances are trivial at this point in content releases. It's not like ep and dc players cannot enjoy ad zones

Well looking at releases and Wrothgar being the first technically even though it was a DLC that cost as much and the size of a Chapter then it would seem that the next one would or should fall into Daggerfall area and could be Hammerfell or another area and that all this stuff on this post and the upcoming crates could point to a Dro'Mathra dungeon DLC. But like this post is pure speculation at this point untill they announce the next DLC which could be and most likely will be a dungeon DLC with a Chapter to follow at the start of June. Also the next DLC will be out in February and sometime in the middle of it by the release of this last dlc it should be 2/11/2019 cause the 18th is right in the middle and the 29th is to far into the month and would make the next Chapter release in late June. And would give a perfect amount of time for the next PTS to start on 1/7/2019 but even that is speculation or is it.

Take it back you before they had dlc,and you have Craglorn.That makes it essentially 2 Covenant areas in a row.Kind of throws the whole we have to rotate alliances thing out the window.
