Elder Scrolls Online Ushers in New Era with Seasonal Content Model and Gameplay Innovations

ZeniMax Online introduces subclassing, server-wide events, and a narrative sequel to Molag Bal's storyline as part of ESO's major shift away from yearly expansions.

Elder Scrolls Online has officially transitioned to a seasonal content format, replacing its traditional annual expansion model to allow for more experimental updates.
The first season, 'Seasons of the Worm,' debuts in June 2025 with a Molag Bal sequel narrative and the new Solstice zone, featuring tropical landscapes and the Tideborn Argonians.
Players at level 50 will gain access to subclassing, enabling skill line combinations across classes with over 3,000 possible configurations.
A server-wide event called the 'Writhing Wall' will require player collaboration to unlock the eastern half of the Solstice zone, marking ESO's first large-scale, server-driven challenge.
New systems aimed at enhancing the player experience include revamped tutorials, updated starter zones, and a 'Welcome Back' feature for returning players.
