• New Players: New players can jump into The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind and start a new character without having to complete any previous ESO content. And, since the original ESO game is included with The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind, new players will have instant access to hundreds of hours of additional adventures throughout Tamriel.
• Existing Players: ESO veterans will be able to upgrade and immediately journey to Vvardenfell to start the new epic adventure. With the power of October’s One Tamriel update, existing players will find level-appropriate content from the moment they step onto the island of Vvardenfell, regardless of level. Existing players can also choose to create a new character and begin anew.
• Haven’t played ESO in a while? The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is a great chance to jump back in with your existing characters, or with a completely new one. Because ESO has no required subscription, you can just reinstall the game, log in, and start playing again.

The new region of Morrowind will feature various locales set 700 years before the events of The Elder Scrolls III. Players will be able to visit the docks of Seyda Neen, the volcanic Ashlands, mushroom-filled forest, and Vivec City.

The new player class for the expansion is The Warden. This is the first new class since the launch of The Elder Scrolls Online, and players will be able select from a variety of play styles. The Warden will include a new combat ally, the War Bar. The War Bear is a vicious fighter and will stay loyally by the Warden’s side through the most intense of battles.

The land of Morrowind is in peril, and the player heroes have to help Vivec, the warrior-poet and Guardian of Vvardenfell, as well as solve the mystery of his illness to help him regain his strength and save the world from destruction.
