Hey everyone,

With the Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania DLC arriving in just a couple of weeks, we wanted to share one last short teaser highlighting how the dev team packed the iconic Castlevania essence into every inch of the DLC, then we'll leave you alone!

You'll have to listen to me waxing on about Castlevania for a hot minute, but watch to the end for one last surprise reveal...



This is our last post before the release, so see you all on launch day!

Kicking off this Friday, February 24, you can watch members of the ESO Stream Team as they venture into Vvardenfell and rediscover everything the home of the Dark Elves has to offer. This celebration will run over the next three weekends, during which our streamers will focus on different activities found within the Vvardenfell zone.

February 24-26 Vvardenfell Achievement Hunting

The team will quest and explore Vvardenfell while attempting to complete as many Achievements as possible. Let them know if you need help completing a Morrowind achievement, too, and they’ll be happy to assist!

March 3-5 Warden Class Builds & Battlegrounds

The team will share their favorite Warden builds, bears and all, and some will venture into the 4v4v4 PvP Battlegrounds.

March 10-12 Halls of Fabrication

The team will venture into Vvardenfell’s trial, the Halls of Fabrication, and attempt to conquer one of the game’s most-challenging PvE activities. If you haven’t conquered this trial yet, let them know you’re LFG!

During their livestreams, participating ESO Stream Team members will have Twitch Drops enabled and will also be giving away the adorable Vvardvark pet!

• Added two new Data Sources - Scene and Physics Object. Use Scene to get Physics Objects Unique ID and Physics Object to get physics details about the object found!

Family is at the center of a lot of the choices and milestones your Sim will be faced with in the Growing Together Expansion Pack. For example – will they let their parents move in with them? Saying ‘no’ will impact those relationships and saying ‘yes’ could make life at home a lot more complicated. What if your Sim’s parents don’t get along with their partner? For you, the choice might be whether you want to keep the peace or stir up some drama.

New relationships are getting more dynamic too. If your Sim goes out to meet new people, they might find someone they instantly like who they could be friends with for life. Or they could meet a lifelong enemy. Social chemistry will make some Sims click and some Sims clash, and how they navigate these feelings is up to you.

Watch the trailer to see what's possible.
