ESO: heavy metal challenges take place throughout September
The Elder Scrolls Online is currently in a crossover with the heavy metal band Trivium. You can take part in wacky metal challenges all through September and even win prizes. What you have to do and how it works, you can find out here.
What kind of event is that? From September 7th to 27th, 2021, everything in ESO CP Boost will be heavy metal! Because every three days there is a new community challenge that lets you do special heavy metal tasks. The whole action takes place in cooperation with the band Trivium, which was already announced during Quake Con 2021.
What is Trivium? The metal band Trivium comes from Florida and belongs to the genre of metalcore / progressive metal. Her texts deal, among other things, with mythical events. On October 1st, Trivium will also present a brand new ESO-inspired music video. That’s because lead singer Matt Heavy is an avid gamer and Elder Scrolls fan. That was also the reason why the collaboration with ESO came about.
Why is there a heavy metal event right now? The current topic in the Blackwood chapter are dark demonic beings from a hell-like dimension that bring death and perdition.
In addition, a grim red giant named Mehrunes Dagon leads the hostile hordes and the whole presentation with red flames and black metal monoliths exudes a hearty heavy metal charm. Such a metal event fits in thematically well.
