It’s time to return to Tamriel– The West Weald to be exact.
For the first time since “Oblivion” in 2006, The Elder Scrolls Online Gold Road expansion returns players to this bountiful and mysterious location. But this expansion is much more than just a nostalgic romp. Similar to Oblivion, there’s the small problem of a rampaging Daedric Prince to thwart… Which is one of 5 reasons why right now is the best time in the MMORPG’s 10-year history to play.
Whether you’re adding to your existing game, or beginning your ESO journey for the first time, you can pick up your copy of Gold Road in the CDKeys store (discounted right now!).

Community and Crossplay
First and foremost, The ESO community has grown into one of the friendliest and most active in the MMORPG world. With a large, diverse player base, you’ll always find others to join you in dungeons, raids, and PvP battles. The community is known for its helpfulness, with veteran players often providing guidance and support to newcomers. Regular events, both in-game and community-driven, create a lively atmosphere where players can engage, collaborate, and compete.
Plus, ESO offers cross-platform play, which means you can team up with friends no matter what platform they’re using, whether it’s PC, Mac, PlayStation, or Xbox. This versatility makes it easier to connect with a broader range of players and enhances the cooperative experience.
Gold Road Is All You Need
Secondly, in addition to all of the brand-new content it includes, Gold Road instantly unlocks every other expansion from ESO’s 10-year history.
No game subscription is required—buy once, play anytime. Plus, if you crave the complete ESO experience, you purchase The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road or The Elder Scrolls Online Deluxe Collection: Gold Road. This will get you instant access to all previously released chapter zones, biomes, and quest arcs from across Tamriel.
Explore Three Nostalgia-Inducing Biomes
Attention all Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion fans! It’s time to continue your epic adventures through Tamriel, or start one anew in the Gold Road expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online. This massive update brings to life a vast new region, filled with breathtaking landscapes, ancient ruins, and bustling cities.
Players can immerse themselves in a richly woven narrative, uncovering the secrets of the Colovian region of the West Weald (which you may remember fondly from 2006’s “Oblivion”).
New Scribing System
The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road introduces an innovative new Scribing system, adding depth and versatility to the game’s crafting mechanics. This system allows players to create powerful scrolls and glyphs by inscribing ancient runes discovered throughout the Gold Road region. These crafted items can enhance weapons, armor, and other gear with unique buffs and abilities, providing strategic advantages in both combat and exploration. The Scribing system encourages players to explore the new region thoroughly, as finding rare runes and mastering the intricacies of inscription becomes a rewarding and integral part of the gameplay experience.
