The Elder Scrolls Online (Ebonheart Pact Edition)

Pledge your allegiance to the Pact. The Elder Scrolls Online Ebonheart Pact Edition for Xbox One is a faction-specific steel box variant that was sold exclusively through EB Games in New Zealand. Inside you'll find the game case and a bonus map, while the steel box itself features key artwork on the front and signatures from the Zenimax Online Studios development team printed on the back.

Regional exclusives like this are the deep cuts that separate a casual Elder Scrolls collection from a serious one. New Zealand EB Games exclusivity means the production run was inherently limited by geography, and faction-specific packaging means completionists need all three alliance variants. The developer signatures on the back add a layer of authenticity that most steel boxes don't bother with.

It's a nod from the team directly to the player, printed permanently into the packaging. The included map serves double duty as both a reference piece and a display item. For Elder Scrolls collectors, the Ebonheart Pact Edition represents the Nords, Dunmer, and Argonians, the alliance of pragmatic necessity.

Tracking one down means navigating the secondary market for a region-locked retail exclusive. That's the kind of hunt that makes collecting worth doing.
