Developer ZeniMax Online Studios shared a new trailer on Monday, showing off what players can expect to experience when going through the Endless Archive in The Elder Scrolls Online. The Endless Archive allows for infinite runs against random enemies and bosses, with fights neatly divided up so players can easily track their progress. You can check out the trailer below:

Analysis: A fun time for all
In our preview of the Endless Archive, I wrote that "As always, the devil is in the details, but now that I've seen the Endless Archive in action, I'm highly interested and cannot wait to dive in with a friend or even by myself."
All of that is still true. This looks to be a fun, fresh idea for The Elder Scrolls Online, and while I'm sure balance passes will happen as needed, I'm really excited to go hands-on and see how far I can get with my Arcanist.
