The Elder Scrolls Online website announces the Dark Brotherhood is now available as promised for the Windows and OS X editions of The Elder Scrolls Online, Bethesda's MMORPG. The console versions of the expansion will launch in a couple of weeks. Here's a bit on what's new from the game's Creative Director Rich Lambert:

As always, this update isn't solely focused on the DLC. We've added in a ton of new base-game features and improvements for everyone. Veteran Ranks have finally been removed, which simplifies and unifies leveling into one system. In addition to Veteran Rank removal, we've added in a number of new systems and improvements, including things like:

• Quality-of-Life: Nameplates, Item Locking, Repair warnings, Enchanting updates, Class balance adjustments, Trait Improvements, Poison making, Hats and Personalities
• Grouping Tool/Activity Finder: Vote to Kick, Ready Check, and Deserter Debuffs
• PVP: Cyrodiil latency improvements, Imperial City district capture, and new vendors with scaled gear

I'd also like to take a quick moment to specifically single out all of our ESO Plus Members – your support and dedication has been amazing over the years. With the Dark Brotherhood DLC, we've added a new exclusive feature for you all - the Craft bag. It's a nearly limitless storage bag for your crafting supplies and it is our way of saying thank you for your continued support.
