Cyrodiil - Beyond Skyrim

Watch the trailer

A god is forever.
Reforge the legend.

Our ancient foe has returned to reclaim the lands we took from them.
And this time, Cyrodiil's people stand alone.

Turn whispers into shouts. Kindle faith into fire.
Take up the name that once gave them all hope.

And then use it to save them.

Choose your side.
Crown an emperor.

The Septim dynasty is broken, and the empire is in decline.

Powerful claimants have lined up to take the Ruby Throne.
Weigh the price of your loyalty against their ambitions.

And then make your choice.

The Seat of Sundered Kings is a branching open-world main quest covering the succession crisis. Emperor Titus Mede II's death sparks a race to take the crown and guide Cyrodiil and The Empire into the future.

During your travels, you will encounter some of the most influential people in the country. Earn their trust and they may confide in you their plans to increase their standing and sit on the most powerful throne in Tamriel.

Whether they succeed is up to you. As their ambitions become clear, your loyalty to them may waver. Either stick with your chosen candidate or betray them. Make the right decisions or face humiliation.

Visit the cities of Cyrodiil and lend your hand to its leaders. Then you may find yourself embroiled in a political story of high stakes and intrigue.

Return to Cyrodiil,
200 years later.

Two centuries since the Oblivion crisis, the Heartland is still here, but far from its former glory.
Visit the cities you remember, and discover places that were once only in legends.

Lovingly written,
skillfully performed.

Our large team of experienced writers are creating a great collection of stories both large and small.
Featuring voice actors from titles such as Dragon Age: Inquisition, Wasteland 2 and Dying Light 2.

Built to last,
forged for eons.

From swords to scenery, our team of artists are making beautiful, original assets.
Every landscape is hand-made and polished for a truly immersive experience.
