The Elder Scrolls Online’s Gold Road expansion introduces a ton of new content, including Scribing and the Imperial region of West Weald.
With many new features and events, ESO’s Senior Content Designer Shane Slama gives a preview of what players can expect from the update, which will first be available on PC and Mac on June 3 and then on Xbox and PlayStation on June 18.
One of the new additions in this expansion is a 12-player Trial called the Lucent Citadel. It is a Daedric vault that contains something that will play a vital role in the story of the Daedric Prince, Ithelia.
In the Trial, players will encounter new bosses and enemies while facing challenging combat and puzzles. Be wary, though, as the Trial’s difficulty may be tough for a solo player; joining other adventurers is much better than delving into the vault alone.

Players who play as tanks are in for a treat with the new Lucent Echoes heavy armor set. This set boosts the party’s critical damage and regen as long as the wearer has enough HP and reduces incoming damage as soon as the tank receives ample damage.
Aside from the Trial, world events called the Mirrormoor Incursions will also happen across West Weald. Players will have to push away the Daedric forces plaguing the land. While it may seem difficult to track progression in world events, Mirrormoor Incursions are designed to give players the feeling of having a real impact in the game world.
New UI, audio, and visual cues will update players about the progress of their Mirrormoor Incursions. Getting notified in real-time as the event progresses is a massive QOL addition; players can expect a fantastic experience with the new expansion.
Of course, these add-ons come with bountiful rewards. New skill styles, outfits, mounts, and furnishing are just a few rewards players can earn as they progress through Gold Road.
