Bethesda has uploaded a new gameplay video that serves as a launch trailer forDeadlands, which adds the city of Fargrave toThe Elder Scrolls Online. The trailer focuses on the new explorable locations from this DLC, while also showing footage of some of the unique monsters that inhabit the land. The bosses ofDeadlandslook especially imposing. Players will be facing off against Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince of Destruction, who also lends his voice to the trailer. This battle occurs during three bonus quests that are only unlocked after completing the main story quests of bothBlackwoodandDeadlands.
TheDeadlandsDLC has launched alongside Update 32which is free for allESOusers. One of its main features includes a new Armory System that allows players to effortlessly switch their builds, thereby reducing the time it takes to optimize their abilities for different activities. It also adds curated drops for sets, which will aim to reduce the grind required to earn powerful gear. This new system will attempt to drop set items that have not been previously obtained by that particular player.
Deadlandsis free for all members of theESO Plus subscription service, but it can also be purchased for 2000 Crowns. A digital collector’s bundle is available for 4000 crowns which comes with the Nightmare Bear mount, the Deadlands Bantam Guar pet, and Crown Experience Scrolls.
Last month, Bethesda had launched a new promotion that allowed players to unlockDeadlandsfor free by working together in an in-game activity. The requirement for that tier of rewards has been met, and anyonewho owns theBlackwoodchaptercan now playDeadlandsat no extra cost.
