If your New Year’s Resolution for 2016 was to pick more pockets, you’re in luck.
Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited publisher Bethesda has announced “Thieves Guild,” the first downloadable content (DLC) pack for the game.
According to a press release on the Bethesda blog, in the new DLC the “Thieves Guild of Abah’s Landing, an organization of pickpockets, burglars, robbers, and thieves, is being hunted by a mercenary guard force known as the Iron Wheel. This relentless organization will stop at nothing to see the guild brought to justice for a high-stakes heist that went horribly wrong. As their newest recruit, you’ll sneak along rooftops, steal from the shadows, and recover lost treasures to help to restore the guild’s reputation.”
In line with Bethesda’s previous updates, Thieves Guild will come in two parts – the DLC game pack, and the base game patch. Here’s what players can expect from the new game pack:
- “Play dirty and get away clean” with the iconic Thieves Guild for the first time in ESO
- Hew’s Bane, a new zone that is available to characters of all levels and home of Abah’s Landing, the Thieves Guild headquarters, located in the southern peninsula of Hammerfell
- Hours of exciting new story content and quests that will take you through all your favorite areas of Tamriel
- A challenging, new 12-player trial: Maw of Lorkhaj
- Formidable new group bosses and delves to conquer
- The addition of new criminal activities
- A new passive skill line exclusive to members of the Thieves Guild
