It\u2019s launching soon enough, too.<\/p>\n<p>Announced during the January 2023 Xbox and Bethesda Developer Direct, The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom expansion is set to bring the goods this summer. Within it, you\u2019ll unlock a new class, explore new zones and complete a new story.<\/p>\n<p>These major expansions to MMORPG games always breathe new life into them, and Necrom looks to do exactly that. Read on to discover everything there is to know about The Elder Scrolls Online Necrom release date, plus we\u2019ve got pre-order details, gameplay and story information, and a trailer.<\/p>\n<h2><b>When is The Elder Scrolls Online Necrom release date?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom release date is <b>5th June 2023 on PC and Mac<\/b>. It is releasing a couple of weeks later on the remaining platforms on <b>20th June 2023<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>There isn\u2019t long to decide which version of the expansion you\u2019ll pick up \u2013 and trust us, it\u2019s a decision you\u2019re going to want to take seriously.<\/p> <h2><b>Can I pre-order The Elder Scrolls Online Necrom expansion?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Pre-orders for the expansion are now live across all platforms. There are a couple of different versions to choose from to make things more interesting, however.<\/p>\n<p>First, though, it\u2019s worth noting that all pre-orders come with the following content:<\/p>\n<ul><li>Sadrith Mora Formal Attire costume<\/li>\n<li>Apocryphal Bookwyrm pet<\/li>\n<li>One Unfeathered crate<\/li>\n<li>Three Telvanni Peninsula treasure maps<\/li>\n<li>Two Experience scrolls (+100 per cent for one hour)<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>Pre-ordering will also grant you immediate access to the Sadrith Mora Spore Steed mount and Sadrith Mora Spore Pony pet. The pony pet will only be available with pre-orders until 18th April 2023.<\/p>\n<p>There are two main versions of the game to buy (as per <a href=\"\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/306130\/view\/3682290421498877795&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">Steam<\/a>):<b\/><\/p>\n<ul><li><b>The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Necrom<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul><ul><li style=\"&quot;list-style-type:\" none=\"\">\n<ul><li style=\"&quot;list-style-type:\" none=\"\">\n<ul><li>Includes the Necrom Chapter (available at launch in June) and immediate access to both the base game and all six previous Chapters (High Isle, Blackwood, Greymoor, Elsweyr, Summerset, and Morrowind)<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul><ul><li><b>The Elder Scrolls Online Upgrade: Necrom<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul><ul><li style=\"&quot;list-style-type:\" none=\"\">\n<ul><li>Includes the Necrom Chapter (available at launch in June)<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"&quot;brightcove\" embed=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;embed__intrinsic&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove__player\" vjs-playlist-player-container=\"\"> <video data-video-id=\"&quot;6318280320112&quot;\" data-account=\"&quot;69912529001&quot;\" data-player=\"&quot;ByeOf0VZEl&quot;\" data-embed=\"&quot;default&quot;\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"&quot;video-js&quot;\"\/><\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"&quot;\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js&quot;\"\/><p>If you\u2019ve not played any of the MMORPG game before, the Collection is the way to go as it will include the base game and all six expansions released prior to Necrom.
