14 DAY TRIAL // Zenimax's free-to-play MMORPG, The Elder Scrolls Online is getting a new DLC ahead of the big Greymoor expansion set for release on June 7. The new DLC is called Harrowstorm and can be purchased in-game with crowns. However, those who pay for a premium ESO subscription will receive the Harrowstorm DLC for free.
It's also worth mentioning that while Harrowstorm is now available on PC and Mac, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players will have to wait until March 10 to be able to play it.
The most important thing about The Elder Scrolls Online: Harrowstorm is that it sets up the events of the upcoming Greymoor Chapter and adds two challenging new dungeons, Unhallowed Grave and Icereach. Also, the new DLC comes with a free update that brings many performance improvements.
In Unhallowed Grave, raiders and grave robbers have forced their way into an ancient burial site in Bangkorai seeking an ancient power that has remained imprisoned for centuries. Players must enter a long-forgotten tomb, uncover the reasons for the crypt’s invasion, and put a stop to the invader’s plans before it is too late.
The second dungeon added, Icereach is located on Skyrim’s northern coast, a zone beset by a terrible, supernatural storm whose origin appears to be the island home of a powerful coven of witches. Players travel to Icereach to confront the witches and stop their deadly ritual before it brings ruin upon all of Skyrim.
The free Update 25 adds many performance fixes for all ESO players that should improve load times, framerates, and more. It should also implement a massive patching overhaul for the ESO game client, changing the way the game is downloaded, patched, and stored. This change dramatically reduces the amount of space ESO takes up on a player’s hard drive.
However, all ESO players will have to re-download the game client upon the launch of Update 25, which will be rewarded with a free Crimson Torchbug pet.
