Criminal Companions
Throughout this event, you can acquire both the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood DLC game packs at a discount, with both available in the in-game Crown Store for 800 crowns.

In addition to the base DLC game packs, ESO Plus members can acquire the Dark Brotherhood Collector’s Bundle and the Thieves Guild Collector’s Bundle for 1,600 crowns each.


The Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild Collector’s Bundles

The Thieves Guild Collector's Bundle includes the Thieves Guild DLC game pack, the Hammerfell Camel mount, the Kindlespit Dragon Frog pet, and five Crown Experience Scrolls. The Dark Brotherhood Collector's Bundle includes the DLC game pack, Highland Wolf mount, the Sylvan Nixad pet, and five Crown Experience Scrolls.

Finally, we’re also putting a collection of Thieves Guild- and Dark Brotherhood-themed personalities and costumes on sale for the duration of the event—don’t miss out!

Snatch Up Event Tickets
This celebration is also your first opportunity to earn Event Tickets this quarter in addition to being your first chance to acquire the Berries you need for an all-new Indrik evolution: the Onyx Indrik.

As you participate in the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood Celebration, you can earn Event Tickets for the following activities:
  • One Event Ticket for the first Sacrament completed each day
    • Sacraments are unlocked by reaching Dark Brotherhood Rank 2 and completing the quest “A Lesson in Silence”
  • One Event Ticket for the first Heist completed each day
    • Heists are unlocked by reaching Thieves Guild Rank 3 and completing the quest “The Long Game”
Note that you can earn only two tickets per day per account, and they’ll reset at 1:00AM EDT each morning.


Summon the shadowy Onyx Indrik

Once you have acquired 10 Event Tickets, you can trade them in to the Impresario (located at a special booth in Daggerfall in Glenumbra, Davon's Watch in Stonefalls, and Vulkhel Guard in Auridon) for either an Indrik Feather or the new Onyx Berries of Bloom. You can acquire 28 Event Tickets during this event, and the Impresario will continue to sell all Feathers throughout, meaning if you’re still working on getting your Nascent Indrik, you have a chance to catch up! For more information on acquiring the Indrik Berries, check out our announcement article.

Gather Your Crew
With the return of the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood Celebration, there’s never been a better time to begin your life of crime! Let us know if you’re ready to sneak, steal, and stab your way to the top on Twitter @TESOnline, Instagram, or Facebook.

The Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood Celebration event begins on Tuesday, July 2, at 10:00AM EDT and will end on Monday, July 15, at 10:00AM EDT.

Receive an Epic Khajiiti Statue When You Gift Furnishings This Month
The Elder Scrolls® Online - ZOS_Jessica_Folsom
Gift furnishings to friends and Guildmates to receive an exclusive Senche-raht statue!

There’s nothing like a fully decorated home to lift your spirits after a long day’s adventuring in Tamriel. In fact, your home can serve many different purposes, including crafting hub, storage location, training arena, and of course, a hearth to socialize and relax.

A good home is important, so starting today and continuing until August 1, you can help your friends and Guildmates decorate their abodes by gifting fabulous furnishings via the in-game Housing Editor or Furniture section of the Crown Store. Gift a total of at least 1,000 Crowns worth of furnishings, split across at least two different individual accounts, and you’ll receive the Senche-raht Statue, Battle-Bound as a unique collectible reward!

To ensure you qualify for the reward, here’s what you need to know:
  • Gifting must occur between 2:00AM EDT today June 24, 2019, and 2:00AM EDT on August 1, 2019.
  • You must send a furnishings gift to at least two different individual accounts via the Housing Editor or the Furniture section of the Crown Store.
  • The total value of all gifts must be at least 1,000 Crowns or more on the same platform and region.
    • Note: NOT 1,000 Crowns per gift, but 1,000 Crowns total. Two individual gifts that are valued at 500 Crowns each would count, as would three gifts each valued at 400 Crowns to three different acounts. However, if you sent a gift worth 500 Crowns on the PC NA server and another worth 500 Crowns on the Xbox One NA server, it would not count. 
  • You will receive your Senche-raht statue collectible by August 16, 2019

Perfect for guarding the entrance to your home

Gifting Housing Editor Items

You can find furnishings (and bundles!) in the Furniture section of the in-game Crown Store, and you can also gift individual items from a massive selection by using the Housing Editor. To gift a furnishing item from the Housing Editor, follow the instructions below:
  • Travel to a house and open the Housing Editor.
  • Select Browse to open the Housing menu and then select the Purchase tab.
  • Look for the item you wish to gift and select it.
  • Select the Gift option from the preview window.
  • Enter your recipients UserID, Gamertag, or PSN ID, depending on your platform, and personalize your gift with a custom-made or a pre-selected message.
That’s it! All you need to do is gift 1,000 Crowns worth of items total to two or more friends and you’ll be eligible to receive the statue.

In addition to the massive selection of items and bundles already available, we’ve also adding a new, limited-time bundle to the Crown Store: The Intrepid Gourmet Furnishing Pack. You can pick up or gift this bundle for only 700 Crowns, but be quick: it’ll be available only from now until July 7.

Every Google Stadia game confirmed at E3 2019
Child of Light - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Katharine Castle)

It’s been just over a week since Google announced their big launch line-up of Stadia games, but with E3 2019 now drawing to a close that list has now become ever so slightly longer, with new tiles such as Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs Legion, Square Enix’s Marvel’s Avengers and more joining the ranks. To help keep track of them all, here’s a list of every Google Stadia game confirmed so far, as well as which games are coming at launch, which ones will be arriving a little bit later, and which games you’ll only be able to play by subscribing to one of the special Stadia publisher subscriptions.

E3 2019 games every game confirmed
FINAL FANTASY VIII - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Dave Irwin)

They just keep coming don’t they? A lot of games were announced at E3 2019, things that we didn’t know about, as well as stuff that’s previously announced, or expansions to already released games. Now, to the casual outsider, what we’re doing might seem absolutely nuts, but we thought we’d put together an alphabetical list of all the PC games that have been confirmed to appear at this year’s E3 show. With well over a hundred of them now in the books, the next year or so looks packed.

"I'm still enthusiastic, and I don't have any intention of stopping now"
The Elder Scrolls® Online

If you tuned into Bethesda's E3 2019 press conference, you'll have heard some rather enthusiastic cheering bellowing from your speakers. E3 briefings are no strangers to over-the-top screaming, but the whoops and hollers at Bethesda's show stood out. They followed what felt like every on-stage spoken sentence, to the amusement and, it felt, sometimes annoyance of those charged with presenting games to the world.

The front row hype became something of a meme after Twitter user @theSirToasty released a video compilation showing the likes of Tango Gameworks boss Shinji Mikami and ZeniMax Online Studios studio head Matt Firor getting shouted at - repeatedly.

Clearly, the people at the front of Bethesda's press conference were having a whale of a time. But were they marketing plants, Bethesda employees simply thrilled to see their work presented during the show, or just mega-fans?
