The Elder Scrolls Online (a.k.a ESO) is both an attempt to further the Elder Scrolls formula into something more dynamic and living, and also a game that often seems dependent on nostalgia for its continued existence. We still remembered that the Morrowind expansion in 2017 took us back to the finest hour of Elder Scrolls Online. And the 2017's Summerset was our first return to a land not ever seen since Arena, which is totally the original Scrolls game, and next, here be dragons. Again. And also many, many cat-people. So let's take a preview about this.

  Though till now the Bethesda has not stated what the new expansion is, for the past couple of days they have been merrily hashtagging the phrase #seasonofthedragon, along with a little of lizardy boxart and, however, unfortunately, the whole thing got leaked by someone else anyway.

  Dataminers dug up assorted references to and assets from an expansion called Elsweyr, which Scrollsgonks will recognize as the land of fan-favorite TES race, the feline Khajiit. That's right, we are about to meet Top Cat and the gang. The best news for most the Elder Scrolls Online fans.

  To be exact, this is an enormous piece of fan service in its own right, but in order to sweeten the deal, we are getting dragons too. While The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim concerned the return of dragons to Tamriel after hundreds of years away, ESO has the advantage of being set a millennia before Skyrim. Thus, big scaly Bob’s your uncle.

  And now here's the summary of the whole shebang, as dug up by data mining fans, please take a look at it:

“Venture to the land of the Khajiit in The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr, our newest chapter, an epic story in an all-new zone. Face dread creatures from the past—Dragons!—and discover the dark skills of a new character class, the Necromancer, as you join with new friends and old enemies to save Elsweyr from war and devastation.

“ESO reaches new heights of storytelling with a war against the Dragons that unfolds and builds over four quarterly releases to an unexpected climax.”

  So according to what above said, an unexpected climax is a good thing now?

  Now the Bethesda addressed the leak with the cheeky tweet “cat’s out of the bag“, and then made an announcement that all will be revealed in a live stream next Tuesday, January 15.

  Meanwhile, they have released a brief trailer for a trailer, confirming that the legendary expansion will indeed be cat-centric:
