Bethesda and ZeniMax are delivering new content for "The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited" called the "Thieves Guild" DLC. The new DLC is arriving on March 7 for PC/Mac, March 22 for Xbox One, and March 23 for the Playstation 4, according to an announcement by Bethesda.

According to a report in GameSpot, gamers who have an existing and active ESO Plus membership will get the DLC as part of their membership benefits, but non-members need not fret as the DLC pack will also be available via the ESO Crown Store, where it can be bought for 2,000 crowns. Other special editions include a Thieves Guild DLC Collector's Bundle for 4,000 crowns, which apart from the Thieves Guild Pack, also includes five Crown Experience Scrolls, the Hammerfell Camel mount and the Kindlespit Dragon Frog.

Through a trailer video, additional details about the DLC pack were also revealed. According to the trailer, the player arrives at Hew's Bane at a time when the Thieves Guild is in great disarray. With the new content, the player will learn an "all-new skill line," which has to do with becoming the best thief, who is able to sneak in and out and most especially steal successfully in his missions.

According to the report, the Guild is based in Abah's Landing, where the Guild's very existence is being threatened by a mercenary force called the Iron Wheel. Part of the player's mission is to bring back the glory that was once bestowed on the Guild while at the same time fight the Iron Wheel.

A new type of quest, the Heist, is also introduced in the pack. Heists will help the player develop his thievery skills which he needs as he progresses through the game. There is also a new 12-player trial that comes with this pack, which helps the player test the loyalty and courage of his allies, as well as his own courage. Treasure awaits those who will succeed the trial.

The DLC pack also comes with exclusive rewards and items, which can either be earned in in-game quests or bought off the ESO Crown Store.
