The Elder Scrolls Online is headed back to Morrowind with its next expansion

Elder Scrolls Online fans, get ready: you're going back to Morrowind. Bethesda has announced The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind as the next expansion to the MMORPG, bringing players back to the island of Vvardenfell, where The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind took place.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind will give players a look at Vvardenfell 700 years before The Elder Scrolls III. Interestingly, while existing players will be able to head to the new area immediately, players will also be able to create new characters on Vvardenfell as well.

Along with the new area, the expansion will add the first new playable class since the game launched, the Warden. Along with a variety of abilities and play styles, Bethesda says that the Warden will also get to fight alongside a War Bear combat ally in battle. Morrowind will also introduce a new 4v4v4 Battleground PVP mode that takes place in dedicated arenas.

The Morrowind expansion is set for release on June 6 for Xbox One, PC, and PS4. Pre-orders are set to go live shortly in a slew of different editions, all of which pack special bonuses like an Armored War Horse mount and special character emotes. Pre-orders will score even more bonuses with an exclusive Warden costume, a Dwarven War Dog pet and more.
