ESO's First Season Pass Announced — April 12, 2025
The details of The Elder Scrolls Online's shift to seasonal content releases have been revealed with the announcement of the 2025 Content Pass and Premium Edition. The pass will include the already-released Fallen Banners dungeon pack, the upcoming zone of Western Solstice (due to be released in June), the newly-announced Feast of Shadows dungeon pack, and a zone expansion into Eastern Solstice for the story finale. The in-game Writhing Wall event was also announced, and will involve each megaserver working towards the goal of bringing down a magical barrier on Solstice. The pass also includes the usual slew of cosmetic items, which can be obtained by purchasing and/or pre-ordering. Similar to previous years, the new Premium Edition includes the base game along with all existing Chapters.
In addition to new story content, a new subclassing system was announced. Existing characters will be able to obtain skill lines from up to two other classes. One skill line from the character's original class must be retained, but the other two can be replaced as desired. It will not be possible to obtain more than one skill line from a particular class. Subclassing will be available immediately if you already have a level 50 character of that class once the system is released.
Following the successful results of the Vengeance campaign in Cyrodiil, further PvP testing has also been announced.
You can find more details on the official site. A recording of the 2025 ESO Direct announcement can be viewed on YouTube.
Moth Priest Loremaster's Archive Released — March 6, 2025
A new Loremaster's Archive has been released, providing yet another interview between the community and characters within the lore of The Elder Scrolls Online. The latest Archive is an interview with Sister Chana Nirine, one of the Moth Priests responsible for reading and interpreting the Elder Scrolls themselves. Notably, Sister Chana's answers include several new lore texts detailing the history of the scrolls and the origins of the Cyrodilic tradition of reading the prophecies contained within.

The Elder Scrolls: Legends has been shut down — January 30, 2025
"Drip, drip, drip. Memory melts. I've futilely tried to freeze what I can, but what is Forgotten cannot be recalled. Only drips, glimpses of stories untold, remain. Memory melts into legend, but legend never dies." —Kellen
The servers for the Elder Scrolls card game Legends have been permanently shut down on January 30, 2025 at 10am EST. We at UESP have had a great time with the game and bid it a heartfelt farewell. If you want to talk about your greatest matches, recollect your best moments, seen weird interactions between cards, or just want to chat about the lore and art, you can join us on the Discord server to reminisce the final moments of the game.
We are still busy documenting and archiving the game. There are still many things that can be done after the shut down. We have back-ups of the game files, many many screenshots, and recollections of the players that can be used to fill in the last bits of information to preserve the game to the fullest. If you want to help, head over the Legends Namespace Completion Project or the Discord mentioned above.

A look back at the past year of the UESP and Starfield wikis is now available at retro.uesp.net.

As we move into 2025 and beyond, we’re excited to continue expanding and refining our documentation of all things Elder Scrolls. Thank you for being part of this adventure with us!
Wes Johnson Currently in Intensive Care after falling unconscious — January 27, 2025
Wes Johnson, a beloved Elder Scrolls voice actor, is currently in an intensive care unit after being found unresponsive. He has since regained consciousness, but remains in intensive care until his condition improves.
Wes has played characters in every TES game from Morrowind to Elder Scrolls Online, including the mobile spinoffs Legends and Blades. He's most famous for being the voice of Sheogorath in Shivering Isles and Skyrim, but he has also played roles as diverse as Emperor Titus Mede II, the Arena Announcer, Lucien Lachance, all Imperial males in Oblivion, and all Breton and Orc males in Morrowind. In The Elder Scrolls Online he provided the voices for Ard Caddach and Hermaeus Mora. Outside of video games, he is the Announcer for the NHL team Washington Capitals.
On Wednesday, January 22, Wes volunteered to host a benefit event for the National Alzheimer's Foundation in Atlanta. After he didn't show up at the event, hotel security entered his room, where he was found in unconscious and barely alive. EMT crews struggled to find a pulse. He was then rushed to intensive care where he was put into a coma for five days. He regained consciousness on January 28 and posted an update video on January 30, thanking everyone for their support while he continues to receive the treatment he needs.
This news has been confirmed by members of the Fallout community who work with him on #ENDALZ volunteering for the Alzheimer's Association, other hockey announcers who know him well, Leamon Tuttle of ZOS, and by Wes's personal BlueSky, Facebook, and Instagram accounts. Wes is described as a very generous and kind person by all who know him, frequently volunteering for non-profit causes and collaborating with fans on various projects.
A GoFundMe for his expenses has been set up as of January 27 for anyone looking to help his family cover his medical bills, as well as for other costs during the period of recovery while he cannot work. If you are not able to help financially, please share the link with others in the community.
Update: Wes has been released from hospital as of January 31, and has since posted an in-depth explanation of what happened. We at UESP wish him all the best with his recovery.
ESO's Pan-Tamriel Celebration — Jaunary 27, 2024
The tenth anniversary celebrations for The Elder Scrolls Online have continued into 2025 with the Pan-Tamriel Celebration, a new in-game event which is currently in full swing. In addition to a 100% experience boost and the ability to earn three Event Tickets per day, this event has also brought back a number of limited-time event collectibles from years past. If you missed out on Wooden Grave-Stake fragments, previous Chapter event style pages, or last year's bound artifact styles, the Pan-Tamriel Celebration offers another chance to get them, with higher drop rates and discounted Event Ticket prices. This year's morphing collectible, the Stonewisp of Truth and Law, is also now available. See our event page for a full list of collectibles available, both old and new.
Most notably, trophy fish drops are curated for the duration of the event. This is a great time to complete any of the fishing achievements, as each trophy fish you catch is guaranteed to be one you need.
The Pan-Tamriel Celebration runs from January 23 to February 4, 2025. The "New Year, New Adventures" Golden Pursuit is also active from January 21 to February 4, offering rewards for completing in-game activities.
Elder Scrolls Online Announces Fallen Banners and Update 45 for new Season — January 13, 2025
The next DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online, titled Fallen Banners, has been revealed. Announced during an ESO Live stream, Fallen Banners is the first dungeon DLC of 2025's new seasonal releases, and will be released with Update 45. The DLC adds two new dungeons: Exiled Redoubt, the stronghold of the once-proud House Albus, where Lucilla Caprenia seeks to stop a plot that threatens to drive Cyrodiil into endless war; and Lep Seclusa, a Moth Priest sanctuary currently besieged by former Emperor Orpheon the Tactician and his army of deserters, who seek the Moth Priests' precious relic. The Update 45 base game patch includes refreshed starter zones, features for the Cyrodiil Champions Test campaign, and a host of quality-of-life improvements, including improvements to Craft (green) Champion Points!
Fallen Banners and Update 45 are now available for testing on the Public Test Server as of January 13. Unusually, an ESO Plus subscription will be required to play Fallen Banners on PC/Mac at launch. It will be available for individual purchase with Crowns on all platforms once it releases on consoles.
The Elder Scrolls: Legends will be permanently shut down — November 5, 2024
The servers for the Elder Scrolls card game Legends will be permanently shut down on January 30, 2025. All items in the store are now priced at 1 gold so everyone can enjoy all game content to the fullest. This will be the first Elder Scrolls game to become completely lost media. If you'd like to help document the game before it is too late, you can help the UESPwiki by contributing to the Legends Namespace Completion Project.
A couple of days later, the Asian version of Legends announced that their servers will shut down on December 31, 2024, leaving no versions of the game available on any platform.
Fallen Leaves of West Weald Event Begins — September 30, 2024
The Fallen Leaves of West Weald in-game event has begun in The Elder Scrolls Online. The event focuses on this year's Gold Road Chapter, set in the new West Weald zone. In addition to providing increased loot from West Weald and Lucent Citadel, the event adds a limited-time quest which can be completed daily to unlock additional NPC dialogue as well as progress this year's reward bar for players who own the Gold Road Chapter.
Fallen Leaves of West Weald runs from September 26 to October 8, and will be followed by the XP-focused Explorer's Celebration mini-event. The length of the Explorer's Celebration is tied to a similar community progression bar on the official site.
Betrayal of the Second Era Pledge Campaign Conclusion — September 08, 2024
A new board game set in the Elder Scrolls universe will reach the end of its pledge campaign later today. Betrayal of the Second Era began its campaign two years ago. The campaign was originally set to conclude on the sixth, but was extended over the weekend. Over the course of its campaign, the game received over seven million dollars in pledges and unlocked every announced stretch goal for the project.

You can adventure throughout many locations in Tamriel, with thirty different main questlines shipping with the game. There are also 85 random encounters, 50 enemies, and fifteen side quests included. Players will be able to build a character, with options to pick from ten playable races, classes, and skill lines.
Our coverage on this game can currently be found here. You can also learn more about this game on the Gamefound page.
QuakeCon 2024 Begins — August 8, 2024
QuakeCon is going on right now until August 11th. QuakeCon is an annual convention that started as a dedicated fan convention and lan party for id Software, as well as other ZeniMax properties after id Software's acquisition. The convention derives its name from the Quake series, one of id's main franchises.
The physical event is being held in Grapevine, Texas, but an accompanying sale on franchises under ZeniMax's umbrella is currently going on. You can find the official store sale hub here, although there are separate sales being held on individual digital stores simultaneously. Unlike the physical convention, the sale is set to continue until the 21st.
Elder Scrolls Online is also holding a Free Play Event to coincide with the convention, and will continue until the 19th. You can learn more about QuakeCon at the official site.
Clockwork City Loremaster's Archive Released — August 6, 2024
A new Loremaster's Archive has been released. The Loremaster's Archive is a series of interviews between the community and characters within the lore of The Elder Scrolls Online. This particular Archive is from the perspective of Proctor Tarvus Indoril, who is additionally relaying questions to and providing his own commentary on the responses of Sotha Sil. The former Archcanon was previously assumed to be dead, but has been revealed to have been revived to continue his service to the Tribunal Temple in Sotha Sil's Clockwork City. The interview goes into questions on subjects related to the Tribunal, particularly Sotha Sil, with some other details about the lore of Morrowind, the Coldharbour Compact, and the Dwemer appearing as well.
You can see the Loremaster's Archive on the official site. We also have a copy of it here.
Bethesda Game Studios Unionizes — July 19, 2024
Bethesda Game Studios in Austin, Dallas, and Rockville have formed a union with the Communication Workers of America. The newly-formed union has been described as a "wall-to-wall" union, comprising artists, designers, engineers, and programmers. The formation of the One BGS USA union follows previous union formations by the Montreal BGS Studio and ZeniMax Workers United.
This comes during a period of continued mass industry layoffs for the last few years. These layoffs have also affected Bethesda Game Studios, and job security was one of the stated goals behind the formation of the union. Other objectives include "compensation transparency, and flexibility to continue creating the games we love".
You can see the initial announcement of this on X (formerly Twitter). Microsoft has officially recognized the union.
Rollback of Accounts on ESO's PC-NA Server — April 16, 2024
A major rollback is in progress on The Elder Scrolls Online's North American PC megaserver. Following yesterday's launch of v10.0.0 on the Public Test Server, test characters from the PTS became available on the live PC-NA server, resulting in both servers being temporarily taken down. The live server has since been brought back online, but certain users who logged into the PTS have had their accounts locked until the rollback can be completed. Affected characters will have their progress rolled back to April 15 at 13:30 UTC; banks are reportedly unaffected. Customer Support has advised affected users that this process will take two to three days to complete.
This rollback comes at an inopportune time, with the Anniversary Jubilee in full swing. In addition to the valuable in-game rewards offered every year, this year's Jubilee offers additional bonuses to celebrate the game's tenth anniversary: many players are currently grinding for rare character-bound style pages, and the rewards for completing certain daily endeavors have been increased this week to coincide with the Thieves Guild DLC being made available for free.
Update: This issue was resolved on April 26 when affected accounts had their access restored. On May 6, additional compensation was provided to those affected: one month of ESO Plus and the associated 1650 Crowns; 16,000 Seals of Endeavor; five Glorious Anniversary Jubilee Gift Boxes; all five artifact replica style pages; and 25 Jubilee Confetti Packs, enough to unlock the Jubilee Steed.

The UESP was invited to the 10th Anniversary Celebration for The Elder Scrolls Online in Amsterdam, where we got a chance to preview the upcoming Gold Road Chapter. During this preview we were given a chance to explore the West Weald zone, visit the city of Skingrad, encounter one of the new World Events, and try out the new Scribing system.
Our travel to this event was paid for by Bethesda. You can see the official article about the celebration here. You can see a recounting of our experiences with the preview here.
TES 30th Anniversary Stream — March 29, 2024
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls: Arena, UESP's founder Dave Humphrey will be hosting a stream tonight at 9PM EST! You can join him as he reminisces on 30 years of The Elder Scrolls (and 29 years of UESP) on our Twitch account.
Today is the 30th Anniversary of The Elder Scrolls! — March 25, 2024
Today marks the officially acknowledged anniversary date for The Elder Scrolls. Although originally scheduled for release in December 1993, The Elder Scrolls: Arena was delayed into 1994. There is currently no known definitive evidence for when the game reached consumers, but the date used to celebrate its anniversary is March 25th.
The UESP looks forward to another decade of adventures in Tamriel and the rest of the Aurbis—and we are also looking forward to documenting it all. But perhaps most of all, we're looking forward to The Elder Scrolls VI. The official commemorative post for the anniversary (pictured) included a mention of the long-awaited sixth main installment of the series:
- "Last but not least, yes, we are in development on the next chapter - The Elder Scrolls VI. Even now, returning to Tamriel and playing early builds has us filled with the same joy, excitement, and promise of adventure"
You can see the official anniversary post here.
