2023 Global Reveal–Unveiling the New Arcanist Class
Learn more about ESO’s new Arcanist class, just announced as part of the 2023 ESO Global Reveal!
Master the Power of Apocrypha
Unimaginable power is yours to wield at will with the all-new Arcanist class. Just unveiled today as part of the 2023 ESO Global Reveal, the Arcanist is ESO’s seventh and newest class. Arriving with the upcoming Necrom Chapter in June, it brings powerful new abilities and mechanics drawn from Hermaeus Mora’s realm of Oblivion.
As a practitioner of this mystical new class, you can harness powerful runes, tomes of ancient knowledge, and the energy of Apocrypha itself to unleash destructive, defensive, or restorative magics. The Arcanist wields the secrets of Apocrypha
The Arcanist class also introduces a new combat mechanic: Crux. As you activate certain Arcanist class abilities, you generate Crux, which you can save up and spend when activating other specific abilities. The more Crux you generate before spending (up to a maximum of three), the more your ability is empowered when you do spend it! How you utilize the Crux generating and spending abilities in your combat rotations can have a major impact on your effectiveness, so plan accordingly!
Wield Three New Skill Lines
No matter your character or role, the Arcanist class unlocks exciting new abilities and creates new ways to play via its three unique skill lines.
If you like to play offense, when wielding the destructive magics of the damage-focused Herald of the Tome skill line, you manipulate arcane energies to bombard your foes with damaging blasts, beams, and more. This includes active abilities such as Runeblades, which launches lethal projectiles at your foes, generating Crux as you do.
Prefer to play a supporting role? With the restorative Curative Runeforms skill line, you can make use of healing runes to keep your party (or yourself) healthy, shield your allies from damage, or even help them navigate the battlefield via portals with the Apocryphal Gate ability, which summons a passage between worlds! Walk between worlds with the Arcanist
If you like to play defensively and protect your allies, the magic of the Apocryphal Soldier skill line allows you to dominate your foes’ attention, buff yourself or your party’s defensive capabilities, and even conjure an explosive damage shield with Runespite Ward, which can be improved with Crux.
This is, of course, just a taste of the kind of power you can unlock when wielding the Arcanist class, as each skill line features a full suite of potent active, passive, and Ultimate abilities, many of which generate or utilize Crux.
Keep an eye out for more on the new Arcanist class as we get closer to The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom’s launch in June, and don’t forget to check out everything related to ESO’s newest Chapter and the 2023 Global Reveal on elderscrollsonline.com.

2023 Global Reveal—Necrom’s Telvanni Peninsula & Apocrypha Zones
Discover the two new zones just announced as part of the upcoming Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom Chapter!
Two New Zones
ESO’s intrepid adventurers will get the opportunity to explore two all-new zones in the upcoming Necrom Chapter: the Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha. First shown today as part of the 2023 ESO Global Reveal livestream, these new regions will be open to outsiders when the new Chapter launches in June.
Located along the eastern coast of Morrowind, the Telvanni Peninsula is home to House Telvanni. If you’ve previously explored Sadrith Mora within the island of Vvardenfell, you might be familiar with the region’s alien landscape, including its giant mushrooms and the mages who call it home. However, separate from the Telvanni yet at the center of it all is the zone’s capital, Necrom. Also known as the city of the dead, Necrom has not been seen in an Elder Scrolls game since 1994’s The Elder Scrolls: Arena. In this new Chapter, you’ll have an opportunity to venture through the Dark Elf city, experience its solemn purpose, and uncover its ancient history and lore. Dive Deep into a new region of Morrowind
In this new Chapter, you can also explore the endless library of Apocrypha, Hermaeus Mora’s realm of Oblivion, and uncover secrets hidden from mortals and Daedra alike. Home to both the followers of the Lord of Knowledge and the lost souls of those who once sought to learn its secrets, Apocrypha is unlike any Daedric realm you have experienced in ESO before. You might have delved into some aspects of this part of Oblivion from The Elder Scrolls Online V: Skyrim—Dragonborn, but in the Necrom Chapter, you should be prepared to discover all-new areas not seen before in any of your previous adventures. Don’t Get Lost in Mora’s Endless Library
Both new regions host all manner of challenges, including new delves, public dungeons, world bosses, a new Trial, and a brand-new type of world event. As you may expect from an Elder Scrolls game, each zone has its own mysteries for you to uncover, and as you progress your Shadow Over Morrowind adventure, you can also discover a host of stand-alone side quests and encounter a diverse assortment of non-player characters.
Encounter New Allies & Rewards
In your journeys into the new zones, you can recruit two all-new Companions, the Redguard Arcanist Azandar Al-Cybiades and Argonian Warden Sharp-As-Night. Each Companion features their own personalities, abilities for you to unlock, and stories to tell (including their own quests). Azandar Al-Cybiades and Sharp-As-Night
Both new zones also provide no shortage of rewards for those brave enough to venture into their darkest corners. This includes 10 new item sets, new Antiquities to dig up, new collectibles to unlock, and a host of new Achievements and Titles to earn. Finally, Necrom’s zones also allow you to unlock the newest Tales of Tribute deck—Almalexia!
Explore Worlds Beyond
