With the announcement of\u00a0Elder Scrolls Online’s<\/em><\/strong> newest year-long adventure, Gates of Oblivion, comes many questions. Similar to how the Morrowind expansion brought Bethesda fans back to Morrowind without reliving the events that took place in TES:\u00a0<\/em>Morrowind<\/em><\/a>, the gates of Oblivion threaten to destroy Tamriel much like they did during\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The desire for nostalgia and remakes of past classics is no stranger in\u00a0the gaming community. Whether it be full remakes like\u00a0Final Fantasy 7\u00a0<\/em>remake, remasters like\u00a0Mass Effect: Legendary Edition<\/em><\/a>, or just simple ports like\u00a0Super Mario 3D All-Stars<\/em>, players are always looking to relive gaming’s greatest feats. It’s no different for The<\/em>\u00a0Elder Scrolls\u00a0<\/em>series. It’s been 14 years since\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>‘s original release and fans have been long hoping for a remake of one of the series’ best installments.<\/p>\n

Rather than a remake, ZeniMax Online has announced the next chapter of\u00a0Elder Scrolls Online<\/em>, which takes players to the familiar hellish realms of Oblivion. Whether or not it comes as disappointing news to those hoping for\u00a0Elder Scrolls 6\u00a0<\/em>news<\/a> or an\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>remake, it’s not what fans were expecting.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

During\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>, the hero must stop the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon from invading Tamriel by closing the Gates to Oblivion. But\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>takes place three years after\u00a0Morrowind\u00a0<\/em>in 3E 433, whereas the events of\u00a0Elder Scrolls Online<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>take place 800 years prior. This means that this new catastrophe with the Planes of Oblivion happen\u00a0long before the Crisis that fans are familiar with.<\/p>\n

The primary antagonist of\u00a0ESO\u00a0<\/em>is Molag Bal, another Daedric Prince. However, he rules over the realm of Coldharbour, which looks very different from Deadlands. The Deadlands explored in Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>look very similar to what’s shown in Gates of Oblivion’s trailer. Additionally, fans have pointed out the\u00a0monstrous figure with his back to the screen is Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince that rules the Deadlands. This could mean a very similar questline to\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>‘s main campaign.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Oblivion will be introduced to\u00a0Elder Scrolls Online<\/em><\/a>. The game features a small series of Oblivion Gates quests in which the hero must close three of these portals. However, unlike in\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>, the sigil stones to close them were\u00a0near the entrance and could be completed in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

Some fans were disappointed by this, meaning that ZeniMax is likely looking to either change its design of the Oblivion Gates or draw inspiration from\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>. But based on what’s shown in the Gates of Oblivion trailer<\/a>, it looks very similar to\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>‘s Plane of Deadlands.<\/p>\n

One main way that these quests could differ is by introducing Oblivion-centered PvE quests. Unlike\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>,\u00a0ESO\u00a0<\/em>is an MMORPG and has the advantage of utilizing player interaction for story and quests. Based on Bethesda’s statements about Gates of Oblivion’s “challenges, systems, and adventures,” PvE or PvP events seem highly likely.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The Bosmer with blonde hair seen in Gates of Oblivion’s teaser trailer is a character that’s already been introduced to\u00a0ESO<\/em>. She’s Eveli Sharp-Arrow, easily able to distinguish by the gem on her forehead, her hair, and her nosering. She was previously seen as a small quest-giver in\u00a0ESO<\/em>, but now, it looks like she may be summoning the Gates of Oblivion and perhaps even possessed. At the very least, the way these events are incited will likely be different from how the Crisis triggered in\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>.<\/p>\n

With only a cinematic trailer reveal, there’s not much yet to go on for the Gates of Oblivion expansion coming in 2021. Ultimately, this could be the familiar Oblivion Crisis all over again on a different timeline without bringing about a proper\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>remake<\/a>, or it could be something completely different thanks to MMORPG mechanics.<\/p>\n

Elder Scrolls Online\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is out for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions in development.<\/p>\n
