Introduction to Oblivion’s Return

The continent of Tamriel trembles as Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) fans prepare for the all-new Gates of Oblivion expansion. Unveiled at The Game Awards on December 10, 2020, this teaser catapults us from the political intrigues of Blackwood into the very heart of the Daedric realm of Oblivion. With the Blackwood chapter still fresh in memory, ESO continues to cement its place as the premier MMORPG experience of 2020 and beyond.

Stepping Through the Gates of Oblivion

From the moment your hand brushes against the fiery rune-carved portal, you’ll feel the pull of Oblivion. The teaser trailer teases two new zones—the ash-choked plains of the Ashlands and the shifting paradisiacal nightmare of Paradwyn. Every detail screams high-stakes adventure, beckoning you to step through the Gates of Oblivion and confront Mehrunes Dagon’s looming threat.

“Not only do we see the plains of Oblivion, but a rather famous being reveals themselves… Mehrunes Dagon is coming to ESO!”

Mehrunes Dagon’s Daedric Cataclysm

As one of Tamriel’s most notorious Daedric Princes, Mehrunes Dagon brings cataclysmic stakes to ESO. His army of daedra will ravage the mortal plane unless heroes from every Alliance unite. If you braved Coldharbour or survived the Second Era, prepare for an even deadlier challenge.

From Blackwood to Oblivion: Building Momentum

Blackwood set the stage with political upheaval, new story quests, and the Forge of the Obelisk trial. Now, Gates of Oblivion elevates the experience further by merging complex lore with apocalyptic spectacle. Expect advanced combat refinements, expanded skill lines, and world events that reshape Tamriel’s destiny.

What to Expect on January 21, 2021

• New Zones: Explore the Ashlands and Paradwyn as they flicker between Mundus and Oblivion.
• Epic Trials: Test your mettle against Dagon’s fiercest lieutenants.
• Story-Driven Quests: Unravel the origins of the Gates and forge alliances across Tamriel.

Why You Can’t Miss Oblivion
