Time for a nice vacation in Black Marsh.

Murkmire is a new chunk of story DLC coming to The Elder Scrolls Onlinethat will let players visit part of the Black Marsh, home of the Argonian lizard-people. Jump to about the 13.30 mark in the video above and you'll be able to see what that looks like in action. The new DLC includes the settlement of Lilmoth, which will be familiar to readers of the Elder Scrolls novels by Greg Keyes, and looks as swampy as you'd hope. 

Chris Livingston wrote up a demo of Murkmire he saw at Quakecon, where creative director Rich Lambert described it as "about fifteen to twenty hours of new story content, there's dailies, there's two bosses, there's a new dungeon that's coming along with it as well." 

As well as being available to ESO Plus members and via the in-game store, Murkmire "will be available as a Daily Reward for the month of November" according to this blog post.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
