In ESO PTS Patch Notes v9.0.4 ESO Team presents all upcoming changes, including Arcanist Passeves’ small fixes and for a long-time awaited new playable class, the Arcanist!
After Matt Firor’s End of Year Letter, there were many speculations on what is coming in 2023 for ESO. Players had asked for a new class since the release of the Elsweyr Chapter when developers added the Necromancer class. Some of ESO Players’ ideas were, for example, The Monk or a Dwemer engineer. Finally, we have a new ESO class coming in the Necrom chapter, along with new zones, stories and many game improvements and changes.
Arcanist Passeves Fixed in ESO PTS Patch Notes v9.0.3
