The Elder Scrolls Online site has been updated with a new interview with Senior Concept Artist Lucas Slominski and how he created the cool Morrowind wallpaper you see above (and can download in all sorts of sizes on the ESO site).

In a new series of Elder Scrolls Online videos to introduce players to the forthcoming Morrowind expansion, viewers can take a tour of iconic Vivec City as told through the eyes of a Morag Tong assassin named Naryu Virian.

The flames of controversy are swirling around the Elder Scrolls Online forums thanks to today’s release of the Morrowind PTS patch notes. Of particular concern to many players are the large changes being made to resource management and the effect it will have on some classes. Developers argue that resource management has become “trivial” and that certain classes have “nearly infinite sustainability while still being fully maximized for damage”.

With Morrowind just around the corner, The Elder Scrolls Online team wants to give players a forward look at the new Warden class. To be able to do so and perhaps to plan ahead a bit, the team has published every skill line and ability that the Warden will have access to when Morrowind launches in June.

The Elder Scrolls Online site has been updated with a brand new blog post to introduce fans to the new Warden class that will be arriving with the Morrowind update later this year. The post includes a look at the design philosophy and how the Warden fits into the overall game world and into groups.

This offer is available to players on all platforms including PC, PlayStation 4 and XBox One.

The Elder Scrolls Online site has been updated with news of the upcoming arrival of the Morrowind expansion on the Public Test Server.

At the end of last week, the Elder Scrolls Online team participated in ESO Live stream to show off the Warden class that will be coming to the game with the release of the Morrowind expansion. The re-broadcast of the event has been posted to Youtube. The developers spent over an hour showing Warden’s abilities as she fought through Morrowind’s locations.

The Elder Scrolls Online site has been updated with a pair of articles profiling both the Ularra battleground the Vvardenfell zone.
