If anyone is wondering what the DLC will include, it will revolve around the House Va’ruun faction. The clan was the least explored in the base game, so we will get to see it explored fully this time around. This is also going to invite new troubles for the players, as they will likely face the wrath of a powerful cult.

A new trademark was also recently registered, suggesting thatBethesdais not stopping with the next DLC and will see another one in 2025. The project is labelled “Starborn,” but no information is out yet, so fans will have to wait for Bethesda to officially reveal more details.
