I would not expect any word of an additional companion until the next zone DLC is spoken about and only then if it would be part of that DLC. It would not make sense to start talking about that DLC until the current dungeon DLC is fully released.

I would hope that 3 months would have been enough time.

Would be a real shame if the keystone feature of blackwood isn't expanded with at least 1 more character so we can spec them into the trifecta.

It has not been three months since the current DLC has been fully launched because we are in the middle of that launch. Also,

I would be surprised if Zenimax added new companions to every zone DLC so I would not be surprised if we do not see any more until next year.

I’m hoping for at least one of each class. After we get one for each class, I would assume they would start selling them in the crown store because then the differences in the crown store versions would be cosmetic only.

I haven't used the companions feature yet, but I've been reading the threads discussing them. What I'd like to see is for the existing companions name and appearance to be changeable, e.g. via a "Companion name/appearance change token" ? That would solve the "Attack of the Clones" problem.

The companions are particular characters not pets. They won't, and shouldn't, get features that change their character significantly.

So no altering their faces, races, changing their name, etc.

We should be able to give them helmets or major adornments though, those aren't different than clothes.

I understand that, but it's weird seeing all these copies. If they're particular characters, we should only see 1 of each, so having each one as a "companion" of who-knows-how-many players is odd, to say the least.

Hey ZOS - Please lean into developing companions, feel free to go weird. It's a great way to explore corners of lore, each companion is their own unreliable narrator of.. IDK... a reluctant werewolf behemouth... a half-minotaur exiled from their clan... a necromancer with a literal change of heart... or just the nastiest rogue.. you tell the story and I will enjoy.

It took me ages to find my forum log-in, and I did it because companions are the only non-event thing in ESO I've been passionate about for too long. In my ideal world all of my 18 characters would have their own unique companion.

Hi @Khold90. No news on a new companion to share at this time. Keep tabs on our various news and social channels for future updates.

I hope the next companion is someone a little more shady... one that doesn't freak out when you use the Blade of Woe or do any stealing, access thieves troves, etc. At least Mirri doesn't mind the stealing, but the negative rapport from Blade of Woe or Dark Brotherhood stuff is annoying... and Bastian is pretty much useless for anyone who participates in anything that isn't a 'white knight' playstyle. It would be great to have a companion who actually made sarcastic comments when you DID the white knight stuff... and was pleased when you do the more shady things.

I would love a werewolf behemoth companion. Especially if they use a scaled down model like they were a runt from moon hunter keep who escaped before we went there.

Plus being a MHK werewolf they would have access to magicka based attacks. Between destro staff arcane nova and perhaps some melee magicka from warden they could be rather fun.

I really hope we get more companions. Like, at least one of each playable race? And maybe even a Sea Elf companion?

Please make one of the new companions be a Khajiit.

@ZOS_Kevin your message isn't showing up in the Dev tracker.

No word yet however there has been rumors of a fourth companion.

😂😂😂😂😂

And if it's not possible to retrofit back to older quests, at least going forward have our companions react to quest decisions we make appropriately with rapport.

Perhaps have more of these decisions as well so leveling rapport isn't all about grinding dailies, but a more organic experience.
