The latest update for The Elder Scrolls Online – Dark Brotherhood – rolls out for PC players on May 31, Bethesda has announced. The update will launch a few weeks later on June 14 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners.
The description for Dark Brotherhood on the official ESO website details what sorts of uncouth activities you’ll be involving yourself in when the update hits. Check it out in full below:
The Dark Brotherhood is looking for a few good killers. Explore the Gold Coast and discover if you have what it takes to join the ranks of Tamriel’s master assassins in the Dark Brotherhood DLC game pack. From the port city of Anvil to the Great Cathedral of Kvatch, the business of the Brotherhood consists of murder and mayhem—and business is good! Join the Brotherhood, enter the Sanctuary, and accept your first contract from the mysterious Speaker. Kill well, assassin!
The Dark Brotherhood faction has always traditionally been a faction that encourages a more sinister type of play in the Elder Scrolls games, tasking the player with indulging in the darker side of the series  – murder, sacrifice and sleuthing, to name just a few – and this iteration of the cult seems to be no different.
See below for all of the new features on the way as part of the update.
