First look at The Elder Scrolls Online’s ‘Thieves Guild’ DLC

Bethesda and Zenimax Online today gave us our first look at The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited's first DLC of 2016 — "Thieves Guild."

"The Thieves Guild of Abah's Landing, an organization of pickpockets, burglars, robbers, and thieves, is being hunted by a mercenary guard force known as the Iron Wheel. This relentless organization will stop at nothing to see the guild brought to justice for a high-stakes heist that went horribly wrong. As their newest recruit, you'll sneak along rooftops, steal from the shadows, and recover lost treasures to help to restore the guild's reputation."

As with previous updates, Thieves Guild will come in two parts — the DLC game pack with new features and content revolving around the Thieves Guild, and a base game patch with overall game features and content improvement.

While more details, such as pricing and release dates, regarding Thieves Guild will come "very soon," you can take a look at the overall bullet points for the upcoming expansion.
