Well, even if you sacrificed either Sai, he still returned not knowing how he's back. I imagine the same can be said for Lyris and potentially Varus

I would agree if he hadn't already appeared to The Vestige as a ghost at the end of Wrothgar. BUT this is Tamriel and anything could be possible! Would be lovely to hear his dulcet tones again.

Absolutely. Wanna hear how he hears the sound of familiar footfalls

I think next year's chapter might be a revisit to Imperial City and here's why:

The general idea for this is the bringing back of the five companions. Thus far we've interacted with Tharn, Sai Sahan, and this year will be involving Lyris in a big way. The only remaining member is, of course, Varen.

Your forgetting Manimarco.

Well, Mannimarco has been pretty resolved, especially if you left him in Coldharbour. I doubt we'd see him return so they can leave the choice you make ambiguous

Well we know he will eventually escape as he is present in tes 2 an oblivion.
We do not know how long it took to escape, it could be a few hundred years or it could be a few days(especially with molag bal weakened). During the greymoor reveal event someone asked about q4 dlc only to be answered ''if you like reachmen youwill like it" or something along those line. we know he has ally in the reach. My guess is q4 is markath and Mannimarco escape during that time or we learn he did in the main quest

We know that at some point between the events of ESO and Tiber septums rise Mannimarco escaped and rebuilt the worm cult, this time as a full lich. He lead his army into battle against Vanus and the order of the lamp the battle supposedly resulted in both their deaths. However from Daggerfall we know Mannimarco survived and enthralled vanus' corpse

No, the chapter might be Colovia, where Varen is born.
I can definately tell you that Cyrodiil will be next year.

Hope this happens. It will really be something to look forward to !!

That was an astral projection, also he I it appears if you didn't sacrifice him

It will be the areas not added in Eso.
Imperial City is already done they won't remake something that already exists.
I believe we are going to see Bravil and Lewywiin that name is harder to spell so forgive me. Then Skingrad. I think we are going to see them next year.
Spoilers for next years location from Greymoor.
Its basically confirmed its going to be Cyrodiil and there is a reason for this. Zenimax has this tradition to tell us what is coming by npc dialog and the dialog confirms Cyrodiil, Heck there is even obvious TES 4 Oblivion references and multiple npcs mention Cyrodiil, Antiquties npc mentions it this one npc that can be killed mentions it.this one dunmer that make a obvious Oblivion reference and this argonaion said something that reminded me of how things were in Lewayiin in the outlaws refuge. . Yep next year will be Cyrodiil i'm 100% sure of it and its confirmed by the npcs in the Greymoor Chapter that it will be Cyrodiil.

Many characters mention the different provinces all the time.

Chaos2088 · April 2020

I think at some point we will get a centeral chapter including Imperial city.

But I doubt we will get it soon. 1st'ly is already covered in the game, They can add a PvE verson as we dont really use the map to get to the pvp zones. 2nd'ly the rest of the country and map will/might be added before this content rolls out

Think most of the map will be filled in before this happens. (happy to eat my words tho as I do want a PvE version as well).

-Hints at this with the orginal companions coming back into the game as OP said. Abnar Tharn was supposed to want to end the banners war and did he really blow up??? mmmmmm, I think not..Some kind of dragon break can explain why we have PvE and PvP of the same map.

-Imperials need some love.

Ratzkifal · April 2020

Let's explore where we still have room for expansions, shall we?

Currently there are big empty spots on the map in Skyrim, Hammerfell, Cyrodiil, Blackmarsh and Morrowind.
We already had or will have had Skyrim and Morrowind as chapter locations and a relatively recent Blackmarsh DLC.
The last Cyrodiilic and Hammerfell DLCs were released five years ago, being Thieves guild and Dark Brotherhood, so both of them are on equal footing in that regard.

Cyrodiil is the familiar option while Hammerfell the alien one. Now we did have some Imperials in Elsweyr, which puts Hammerfell ahead a bit, but it's also Oblivion's 15th anniversary next year which evens it out again. Following the anniversary logic, my guess would be the Colovia part of Cyrodiil is the chapter and Falkreath is the Q4 DLC (since it's also Skyrim's 10th anniversary and Falkreath was counted to the Colovian Estates).
However, the Reachmen are a very prominent force in Falkreath as seen in the Falkreath Hold dungeon and they would have to be linked to the rest of Colovia somehow, which they are through the longhouse emperors, but a lot of this lore might already be getting explored when we go to the Reach in this year's Q4 DLC. So perhaps it's Nibenay and the Tharns again, which is exactly what we had in Elsweyr...
Which leads me to the conclusion that Hammerfell is the next chapter, because the alternatives are just too much of the same.

Honorable mentions: Falinesti (the walking Bosmer city-tree that disappeared) and Pyandonea (the sea elf home island)

James-Wayne · April 2020

Your all wrong! Next year Tharn returns and ends the 3 banners war as he originally stated at the start of the prologue quest of Elsweyr. New war starts with all new zones of Cyrodiil.

Its not going to be Hammerfell ,.all you have to do is talk to certain npcs and look in the mages guild and fighters guild in Solitude at the book shelves, now I'm hyped.

Here is an inspiring sound track appropriate for it.

It's not hammerfell. In game dialogue clearly points to Cyrodil.

Varen actually appears at the end of Wrothgar, warns you about Clockwork City and Summerset, and says you will not see him again, so I don't think he will get anything else.

The sacrifice of the companion during the original quest was supposed to be irrevocable but they still got better afterwards.
Also, the style of new chapter writing seems to avoid linear continuity, so that if someone started with Greymoor they can still sort-of do the original quest and have it vaguely make sense. It's too much rewriting for them to make this fool-proof of course.
But the point is, if any Companion needs to come back I think ZOS won't hesitate to retcon or they are allowing for it to happen before the main quest.

Neoealth · April 2020

Next year's chapter might for me be playing a different game if zos keep on killing it.

MaisonNaevius · April 2020

This is how I see things over the long term.

CMDR_Un1k0rn · April 2020

I'm still holding out on hope that one day the Pact will launch a retaliation on Akavir.

Destai · April 2020

So hoping it's gonna be Colovia area. Skingrad and the West Weald were my favorite areas of Oblivion, would love to see them here!

Snowstrider · April 2020

I sometimes dont want unexplored zones because i dont want bethesda to be inspired by ZOS by making te province in their next TES a replica of what we have seen in ESO.. hopefully bethesda makes their own thing and give that province justice and not a downscaled version of it

YandereGirlfriend · April 2020

The thing about new zones is that you want unique geographies and biomes so that they don't feel like places that you have already been before.

That's why I struggle to think of how Hammerfell could be done, since we already have desert in Alik'r and southern Bangkorai, arid plateaus in Craglorn, and the sort of "pirate oasis" theme going on in Stros M'kai and Hew's Bane. I'm not sure how you would make the rest of Hammerfell feel unique when you already have those zones, plus TES6 is rumored to also be in Hammerfell.

Similarly, I can't see us returning to Black Marsh anytime soon. Swampy jungle just isn't an appealing biome for most players and it is already difficult to make Shadowfen feel appreciably different from Murkmire let alone having to find new ways to make yet another swamp feel unique. Perhaps if they added a new mechanic, such as the ability to swim underwater and then really leaned into that with sunken cities and dungeons?

So that really leaves Greater Cyrodiil, the rest of Skyrim (and Solstheim), and Telvanni lands left as clear avenues for expansion in the shorter term.

Telvanni lands is a mystery though, as there is basically nothing known about them and honestly I have no idea what the geography is even like. It would basically be a blank slate and the task would be to sufficiently differentiate it from Vvardenfell and the other Dunmer areas as, similarly to Argonian lands, few players want more geography like Stonefalls.

So basically, I agree with others that we're likely headed to Greater Cyrodiil and then the rest of Skyrim (in some order) for the next two chapters. Both have tons of preexisting lore (and their own games) and have sufficient geographical variety such that the design team can simply implement them in ESO rather than having to scheme up new lore and visually distinct biomes as they would need to with the others.

That's disappointing. How are they going to hype us up for yet another Imperial themed update? Then again, I know I wouldn't be all that hyped about Hammerfell either...

Nope they said every race is getting a major expansion in it's area before they go back to other zones. Many many times.

Twitch streams eons ago. It should also be common sense they are living up to their claims as every year has been a completely different province as the main chapter with no double year's focusing on one province.

VocalThought · April 2020

I think the next chapter will introduce 3 new skill lines, "Melee Staff" and "Unarmed Combat", "Diplomacy". It's going to add more to the PVP experience where players compete on leaderboards for combat, races, and other competitions all throughout Tamriel. It's going to be called "Arena"!

I don't get the reasoning either. Even the earliest projects for ES 6 put it at 2024 lol. We're definitely getting at least some of Hammerfell by then. Personally after the debacles of Fallout 4 and 76 I have no hope for a good singleplayer ES game in my lifetime. For god sakes the dev's of Fallout 76 were genuinely shocked people like to have stories and quests in the game. They thought all players wanted was to kill stuff in wacky ways. Yes the people who own fallout currently think it's an FPS shooter LOL.

Does any of that inspire confidence ES 6 will be anything less then puree 100% crap? Probably not. Not to mention there is an 75% chance they will go super woke with Hammerfell even if the rumors turn out true. I mean look at the last of us 2 lol.

MaisonNaevius · May 2020

One does not prevent the other. He may very well have Hammerfell on TESO and TES solo.
These are two eras, two different contexts.

Honestly, I wouldn't pin my hopes on something that a PR functionary said, especially on an ancient stream.

If revenues were somehow down and the team thought that returning to Whiterun would give them the best sales, we would absolutely go there over Black Marsh or Falinesti.

Bekkael · May 2020

No idea where the next expansion for ESO will go, but I think anyone expecting a good single-player TES game from Bethesda in the future is deluded. Honestly, ESO does it better now. Just look at everything BGS has done since the 9,726 re-releases of Skyrim...they haven't done much but Fallout, and what they have done has gone from bad to worse. Sadly, Bethesda is just like BioWare, and their best days of amazing games are clearly behind them.

Greedfall by Spiders was a valiant attempt, and there is still CDPR's next game to look forward to, but it definitely seems like single-player RPGs are an endangered genre.
