Last night at their imaginatively themed Bethesdaland complete with rides, games and festival food, an actual game conference occured, in which Bethesda revealed their upcoming plans for their big titles. Here is a recap of everything they revealed and announced.

2 new DLC packs are coming for theElder Scrolls Online,Horns of the ReachandClockwork City. Horns of the Reach is coming this August and will introduce 2 new dungeons:Bloodroot ForgeandFalkreath Holdand will also add new items, monster masks and achievements. Less is known about Clockwork city, but it will include 10+ hours of new content that revolve around repelling Daedric forces and preventing disaster.
Creation Club
The mod scene for Bethesda’s family of games is thriving and the Creation Club will allow Bethesda and other 3rd party developers to create mods for these games in exchange for credits (money).
