The developers of MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online have shared an announcement about a change coming to Tamriel’s Second Era. Welcome Seasons, a new way to adventure and earn rewards in ESO.
In has been over a decade since the official launch of The Elder Scrolls Online. Over this time, the game had been continuously expanded with new systems, classes, zones, and stories, and evolved into its current form. However, this is not the time to slow down, and the next big step is the introduction of Seasons.
“Think of a Season in ESO as an exciting box of experiences and updates. Each Season could contain new adventures to experience, realms to explore, and ways to play, all the things you expect from ESO content, but contained within a three-month period. No two Seasons will ever be the same, with each having a distinct theme and gameplay additions, some of which could be very different from what you’ve experienced in the past! Because the team is no longer working on a singular major yearly update, content will arrive continuously throughout the year (and throughout each Season), allowing for greater choice and variety.”
Note that all new gameplay content introduced in ESO Seasons, be it a new zone, dungeon, storyline, or whatever else, will be free for all base-game players. Season Zero: Dawn and Dusk will officially kick off on April 2, 2026, and run until July 8, 2026.
Season Zero introduces a new kind of zone experience while also laying the groundwork for future seasonal additions. Here’s what Season Zero contains:
- The Night Market Event Zone
- The first wave of player experience improvements
- The first wave of class and combat refresh improvements
- The introduction of Tamriel Tomes with the Tome of Dawn and Dusk
- The introduction of the Gold Coast Bazaar
