"The laughing heart sprayed blood afar, A gout on Cyrod fell, And like a dart shot to its mark Down in an Ayleid Well. Magicka fused the Lorkhan blood To crystal red and strong Then Wild Elves cut and polished it down To Chim-el Adabal."

Hi all, Atvelonis here. I haven't written an update in, what, eleven weeks? Twelve? Too many. You can thank The Crusader of Truth for that, he's been hogging them! Anyway, we do have quite a bit to discuss in terms of both and wiki-related news, so let's dive right into it.

TES news

 * The biggest announcement of the week is definitely the unveiling of, the newest chapter for . In this expansion, which will be released on May 21 for PC/Mac and June 5 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, players will finally be able to explore the rest of the Summerset Isles, including the islands of Summerset and Artaeum as well as the existing island of Auridon. For more information, check out the news blog on the expansion by The Rim of the Sky. ZeniMax also published the following blog posts about The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset, if you're interested:

 * At long last, VR will be coming to SteamVR on April 3rd. The recommended system requirements are pretty high up there, though, so you'll need a top-of-the-line rig to handle the game at a solid framerate and with nice graphics. Read the full blog post here for more information.
 * Bethesda will be holding a "gameplay day" at PAX East in Boston, Massachusetts on April 7th. The aforementioned Summerset expansion to The Elder Scrolls Online will be showcased from 5–6 PM EDT, among other non-TES titles.

Wikia news

 * Wikia released a new staff blog on the 22nd titled "Turbocharging the Mobile Experience" which discusses the huge gains in mobile loading times that have been made in the past few months (spoiler: some things have sped up by as much as 60% on the Mercury skin―very impressive).
 * Wikia has also released two more technical updates since last week, as follows:
 * March 21, 2018: Discussion polls rollout (not for us just yet; be patient)
