Once again, the rumors have come true. Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is the second Chapter (expansion) of the Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, as announced today by ZeniMax Online. The first one, as you might recall, was Morrowind.
It will be available on May 21st for PC and Mac, while console gamers will have to wait a little longer as Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset will launch on June 5th for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Alongside the new Summerset Isle zone, you can expect a continuation of the story, a brand new skill line based on the Psijic Order, a new endgame Trial, a brand new group challenge called Abyssal Geysers as well as the usual new dungeons and related loot. Also, players will now be able to craft jewelry items like necklaces and rings.
Below you can find the first in-game screenshots of Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset, the detailed feature set and the announcement CGI teaser trailer. Last but not least, there's a Free Play event for a limited time; it's live now on PC/Mac and PlayStation 4, while Xbox One will get it tomorrow.
