ESO's lead encounter designer says he's "pulling for Xbox EU" as the "dark horse" of the race to take down the Writhing Wall

11 years from launch, Elder Scrolls Online is still reinventing itself with the now-live Writhing Wall event being the first of its kind in the MMO, and the folks at Zenimax Online are taking bets on which region and platform will be first to take down the titular wall and unlock Eastern Solstice.

For the uninitiated, ESO's Writhing Wall event is the game's first-ever live, server-wide collaborative world event, in which all players on each server work together to bring down a literal wall cordoning off Eastern Solstice from the rest of the map. Once the wall goes down, Eastern Solstice will be available to all players on that server, provided they own the content pass granting access to the new region.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
