For players who still need to acquire the base game, there's an option to purchase the entire collection for $59.99 USD, which also includes all previous chapters from High Isle to Morrowind.

 

↖ Release Dates

The Necron Chapter is set to be released in stages:

• June 5th: PC release
• June 20th: PlayStation and Xbox console release

 

Players have the option to participate in Necron's Public Test Server (PTS) or wait for the full launch. Regardless of your choice, there's a wealth of new features and systems to anticipate.

 

↖ The Storyline

The Necron Chapter unveils a gripping storyline centered around the Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha. Players will encounter Hermes Mora, the Daedric Prince of Fate, who harbors immense knowledge and secrets that could endanger Nirn and Tamriel if exposed. A conspiratorial threat further complicates the situation.

 

Your journey begins as Larimil, the Prince of Fate's mortal agent. The Talvani Peninsula, characterized by familiar yet alien biomes, including lava, ash, rocky spires, giant mushrooms, and otherworldly creatures, provides the backdrop for your adventure. The city of Necrom, built upon a grim history, adds depth to the story.

 

Zenimax expertly grounds Hermes Mora in the world by focusing on the Telvanni, one of the Great Five Houses of Morrowind. These powerful magic wielders share parallels with the Daedric Prince in terms of their immersion in Tamriel's lore.

 

Traveling to Apocrypha grants players an experience of cosmic horror, with unique biomes reflecting Hermes Mora's mind and realm. The Elder Scrolls Online delves into new dimensions with eerie feelings of isolation and chaotic, confusing environments.

 

↖ New Characters

Apart from the engaging zones and Hermaeus Mora, players will interact with various characters:

• Larimil, the Prince of Fate's agent
• Melon the Mouthless, a once-prominent Telvanni Magister
• Watchlink Scrut, a devoted servant of the Daedric Prince
• Fan-favorites like Naru, Veron, Asher, and Satha Sill will also return, though their roles remain shrouded in mystery.

 

↖ Necron's Unique Identity

Many players initially thought that Necron was similar to Vvardenfell due to their shared location in the Morrowind region. However, Necron establishes its own distinct presence with differences in lighting, colors, and environment. The zone features a vibrant landscape of greenery, offering a contrast to the ash, smoke, and lava commonly associated with Vvardenfell. The lighting and color palettes in Necron create a visually appealing and unique atmosphere, perfect for screenshot enthusiasts.

 

↖ Apocrypha's Intriguing Biomes

Apocrypha, a part of Necron, features two distinct biomes: the Endless Library and the Chroma Incognito. The Endless Library biome introduces creatures and oddities familiar to Dragonborn DLC players, along with new monsters. The Chroma Incognito biome is eerie and beautiful, evoking feelings of a dream or nightmare. Its stark contrast to other areas adds to its allure.

 

↖ World Bosses

Necron's world bosses are notably challenging compared to those in other DLC zones. These encounters demand both significant damage output and mechanic awareness. The focus on mechanics encourages players to engage in the fights more actively. However, some players might find the increased difficulty a bit overwhelming, particularly if they're not accustomed to dealing with mechanics.

 

↖ Bastionemic World Event

The Bastionemic world event is a unique instance accessible only to your group members. To enter, you need to collect Daedric Eicher from Herald seekers. Completing this event provides an opportunity to engage in various encounters, each offering different levels of difficulty and rewards. The event can be completed efficiently with just the main encounter, but additional optional encounters offer more rewards. The potential for valuable Furnishing plans from chests adds to the replayability.

 

↖ Rewards to Look Forward To

Necron introduces appealing rewards, such as the Barrel Glow NYX Ox Steed Mount, earned through the Savior of Necron achievement. This marks a departure from store-bought mounts, catering to the community's desire for more earnable collectibles. The Shrimp Tender style and Valenwood-themed collectible also contribute to the rewards. Furnishings from Necron, particularly Dunmer-themed ones, are well-designed and contribute to the chapter's atmosphere.

 

↖ Furnishing Plans and Value

The new Furnishing plans offer various Dunmer-themed options that could be valuable for decorators and collectors. While the difficulty of some content might only resonate with some, the challenge presents the opportunity for unique drops. However, the current value of these rewards might only partially justify the time investment required, which is an aspect worth considering.
