Rumors suggest there is a new DLC for The Elders Scrolls Online for the PS4. The content will feature Orsininium, an Orcish city state to be added to Tamriel Unlimited.

According to the Express UK, the Orsinium DLC may be released sometime in January 2016. Official screenshots from Zenimax reveal that the city in the process of being rebuilt. Apart from this, not much else has been revealed. On Sunday, the official Elder Scrolls Online twitter account featured a map showing the Orcish city. This more than confirms that work on Orsinium is still continuing.

Imperial City: First in Series of DLC

This development follows the recent release of the Imperial City DLC that was launched on September 1. Due to the nature of the gameplay, players will be forced to negotiate challenges as a team. Otherwise, the would-be warrior will expect a quick death. For instance, some bosses can kill with one strike.

Though Imperial City comes free with active ESO Plus membership, players can still buy the DLC for 2,500 crowns. The DLC contains new dungeons, quests, characters, weapons and armor. There were also additional PVE, PVP content and achievements.

The Elder Scrolls Online Coming to Japan

Meanwhile, The Elder Scrolls Online will be available to gamers in Japan in Spring 2016. The news was announced by DMM Games at the Tokyo Game Show two weeks ago. A teaser trailer was unveiled during that event.

Curiously, the announcers only said that the Japanese version will be on PC and Mac. In contrast, the North American release is also available on consoles such as PS4 and Xbox One.

Also, there was no mention of already-released DLC such as Imperial City. So, it remains to be seen whether the Japanese edition will feature Imperial City and Orsinium next spring.
