As a DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online, Flames of Ambition (released 2021) requires the base game to access its content, serving as the narrative prologue to the year-long "Gates of Oblivion" saga. This role-playing addition enhances the existing world by introducing two new, challenging four-person dungeons—Cauldron and Black Drake Villa—where players confront a dangerous new cult and uncover lore essential for the subsequent major chapter. It integrates seamlessly with established RPG mechanics, focusing on delivering high-fidelity PvE challenges and unique item rewards without adding new classes or core systems.
