ESO: All information about the new chapter High Isle – release, time, new features

The time has come: The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online brings the most important content patch for 2022 with the High Isle chapter. A large new (quest) area with world bosses and new sets awaits the players, but also a new test for 12 Player.

When can you download ESO High Isle? The big chapter is scheduled for Monday June 6th. While you can pre-purchase the chapter, the patch really won’t be available for download until the release date. So, for better or for worse, you will be left to flounder a bit.

If you want to play the new content on the Xbox or PlayStation, then you even have to wait until June 21st. June 6th applies to the PC and Mac platforms.

From what time can you play? Similar to a “normal” Monday, you have to be patient until the maintenance of the server is completed. How quickly you can then start the new chapter depends on how quickly you have loaded the patch.

But in order not to sit completely on hot coals, you can ESO server status you can also easily query via your browser.

How to get ESO High Isle? You will get several answers to this question. Because depending on what exactly you want, there are 4 different versions of the new chapter. But before you let yourself be overwhelmed, we’ll explain briefly how to do it right.

Already own the base game? If so, make sure you’re buying the upgrade and not the collection. Here you also have the choice of the standard or the collectors edition. If you enjoy a bit of bells and whistles, then the Collector’s Edition would probably be the one for you.

New PvP content has to give way to a card game

For the first time with High Isle, The Elder Scrolls Online developers are bringing out a game within a game. This is the Tales of Glory, a card game that is supposed to be completely independent of the rest of the MMORPG. However, there should be no new content for PvP in ESO.

With the previous chapter Blackwood, companions were created who also intervene in the battle and support the individual player in his adventures. This will be continued in the next chapter. Companion fans can be accompanied by a Khajiit or a Breton in the new chapter.

The coming chapter deviates from the habits of previous years. And that in both a positive and negative sense if you listen to the voices of the community. Because the planning for 2022 has caused several controversies.

What are the origins of controversy in ESO? Both announcements of changes and innovations were interpreted very differently. If you haven’t heard about it yet, then this is the perfect activity until the chapter release.

Our interview with Game Director Rich Lambert gives you a brief but comprehensive insight into why, for example, the release of another class is not as easy as it seems.
