The Elder Scrolls Onlinehad a bit of a rocky start at launch, never quite properly finding its footing while trying to balance being anElder Scrollsgame and an MMORPG all at once. When theOne Tamriel updatereleased, however, things started to change for the better, and the game has since enjoyed a dedicated audience of fans, and a steady stream of content through DLCs and expansion packs.
After theGreymoor Chapter in Skyrim, and the Blackwood Chapter in Cyrodiil, the next adventure forElder Scrolls Onlineplayers will take place on the High Isle, with the Chapter releasing on June 6 and continuing the story that began with Ascending Tide, the content update which released yesterday.

Ascending Tide is the first part of the “Legacy of the Bretons” year-long storyline, a content format introduced to the game with theElsweyrChapter, and much like its predecessors, it introduces two challenging dungeons for players to tackle across several difficulties for loot, achievements, and all sorts of rewards.
The story sends the players to investigate the disappearance of the once-proud All Flags Navy and to assault a costal hideout of the mysterious Ascendant Order through the two new dungeons: the Coral Aerie and Shipwright’s Regret. Coral Aerie’s entrance can be found in northern Summerset, just a bit past the Veyond Wyte Wayshrine, while Shipwright’s Regret is accessed in eastern Rivenspire, near the town of Fell’s Run.
As for the content yet to come, the Legacy of the Bretons storyline will feature a part of Tamriel never before depicted and rarely mentioned, the Systres Archipelago situated between Summerset and High Rock. By scaling back the scope from Daedric invasions and their nefarious conspiracies, theElder Scrolls Onlineteamhopes to tell a simpler story based on the rich political landscape of Tamriel, and Ascending Tide represents the first piece of that whole.
Between pirates, peace-talks, a mysterious knightly order, and even the Sea Elves (or Maormer), this year inElder Scrolls Onlineis poised to be an exciting one, withHigh Islelooming over the horizon.
The Elder Scrolls Onlineis available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
