Note that this patch will be for the Lost Depths DLC, which should also include a handful of gameplay-related changes and whatnot. Here’s the description of the DLC straight from Bethesda:

Delve into The Elder Scrolls Online: Lost Depths and uncover the secrets of the Systres Archipelago as you explore two exciting new dungeons.

Clash with the invading Firesong Circle in Earthen Root Enclave and investigate the lost lore of the Druid King in Graven Deep as you experience new stories that continue the ongoing Legacy of the Bretons year-long adventure.

What will you discover buried deep beneath the sea and earth?

Console players will get the Lost Depths DLC on September 6. If there are changes to the server downtime, we’ll update the post accordingly.
