Elder Scrolls Online’s Dragon Bones DLC hits the PTS, free sub trial begins today

It’s almost time to get your Skyrim nostalgia on! ZeniMax announced last night that the Dragon Bones DLC and accompanying freebie update 17 have both taken over Elder Scrolls Online’s PTS and are testable right now. The patch notes are live too, including a list-out of the new gear, the new storage collectibles, the complete details on the new outfit customization system, and three new houses: Coldharbour Surreal Estate, Princely Dawnlight Palace, and The Erstwhile Sanctuary.

This update will also mark the end of 32-bit client support, so if you’re running on an older version of windows, heads-up.

Wondering what all the fuss was about when both the staff and the readers voted Elder Scrolls Online MMO of the year? Maybe take advantage of the game’s latest “ESO Plus Bonus Event” to preview it in more depth.

“If you’ve never experienced ESO Plus, you can check out almost everything it has to offer for FREE for a limited time with our trial,” says ZeniMax. Existing box owners can access the free sub trial to explore all the DLC (although not Morrowind, it appears) and enjoy most of the perks of subscription, including access to the craft bag and the experience/gold boosts. Subbers themselves aren’t forgotten; they’ll be granted daily freebie lockboxes during the period instead. The event begins at 10 a.m. EST today and runs a full week.

Update 17 and #DragonBones are now live on the #ESO Public Test Server! Check out the PTS patch notes for all the details: https://t.co/h1OupxfoAz pic.twitter.com/PLYiOilWZ6
