Elder Scrolls Online Dark Brotherhood DLC appears 31 May on PC

Those lovable (okay, vicious) assassin types from the Dark Brotherhood will be emerging from doorways to join The Elder Scrolls Online from 31 May on PC. In fact, if you have access to the Elder Scrolls Online public test server on PC, the Dark Brotherhood stuff can be played around with from today.

Anybody with an active Elder Scrolls Online Plus membership gets this DLC as part of their subscription. People who want to buy it separately will have to shell out 2,000 crowns; which I believe translates to $20.00 USD in real life money. There’s also a ‘Collector’s Bundle’ available for 4,000 crowns that comes with “the Highland Wolf Mount, the Sylvan Nixad pet, and five Crown Experience Scrolls.”

Here’s what the Dark Brotherhood DLC will add to the game. You can read more at the following link.

• Access to join the Dark Brotherhood and become an assassin for hire
• The Gold Coast, available to characters of all levels, where you can explore Anvil and Kvatch for the first time since The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
• A new passive skill line, exclusive to members of the Dark Brotherhood
