About
Every legend starts somewhere and in The Elder Scrolls Online, it starts with you. Write your story into a vibrant chapter of Tamriel’s distant past that takes place nearly 1,000 years before the iconic TES V: Skyrim, and discover a world steeped in adventure and possibility.
Storyline
The game is set in the Second Era, in 2E 583, during a period of time known as the Interregnum. It was a period of time known for its political instability. Daedric prince Molag Bal has taken advantage of this instability to try and pull all of Tamriel into his realm of Coldharbour. Bal is doing so by sending devices called "Dark Anchors" into Tamriel. The Fighters Guild have taken it upon themselves to remove them. The Tharn family, current rulers of Cyrodiil through Empress Regent Clivia Tharn, has made a pact with the King of Worms, who has agreed to supplement the Imperial's forces by resurrecting their soldiers. Secretly, Mannimarco is conspiring with Molag Bal, the Daedric Prince of Corruption and Domination, to take over Mundus. Molag Bal is also harvesting the souls of mortals. The Hero is an adventurer whose soul has been taken, which allows them to constantly return to life.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Seasons of the Worm Cult
DLCSeasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 launches on June 2 for PC/Mac and June 18 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles and is included as part of the 2025 Content Pass. In this new storyline and zone, you must uncover and investigate the Worm Cult’s new base of operations on the tropical island of Solstice. In Part 1, as you explore Western Solstice, you will quickly discover that the Worm Cult is far from defenseless. They’ve erected a massive arcane barrier using soul magic—the Writhing Wall—that divides the island, and for now, Eastern Solstice (and its secrets) is sealed off by this arcane edifice. Despite being a zone divided, you will find that Western Solstice is full of challenges and rewards, including new World Bosses, Delves, a Public Dungeon, and a brand-new Trial, the Ossein Cage. There are 16 Antiquities (including three new Mythic items), four new Trial item sets (including Perfected versions), and a host of other rewards, including even more item sets, and a ton of Collectibles, from crafting motifs to pets. You’ll also receive a 10% experience boost from adventuring in Solstice all year! Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 2 arrives in Q4 and gives you the opportunity to finally uncover just what these villains have been hiding behind the arcane barrier. Be warned, Eastern Solstice is far less welcoming than the previous territory, thanks to the Worm Cult’s malign influence. Solstice’s second half introduces yet more challenges and rewards, with additional World Bosses, Delves, another Public Dungeon, and new rewards both exclusive to the new content and shared across the unified Solstice zone. You can expect three new overland item sets (giving Solstice six in total once Part 2 unlocks), three more Mythic items, and many more items and collectibles to earn.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Season Zero Dawn and Dusk
SeasonSeason Zero: Dawn and Dusk is the first-ever “Season” released for The Elder Scrolls Online, launching on April 2, 2026. It marks a structural shift away from ESO’s traditional annual Chapter model toward shorter, roughly 90‑day Seasons, with all core gameplay content included for free for anyone who owns the base game. Thematically, “Dawn and Dusk” represents a transitional age for ESO—both narratively and mechanically—setting the stage for future experimental content while modernizing long‑requested systems It centers on a limited‑time Event Zone called The Night Market, located in the Oblivion realm of Fargrave. Within the Night Market: Players pledge allegiance to one of three unique factions Each faction offers a series of challenging PvE encounters Progression through the event rewards players with a free player home, Night’s Den. The Night Market is framed as a dangerous, ever‑shifting crossroads of Daedric influence rather than a permanent open‑world zone, reinforcing the “dusk” side of the season’s theme.
