Elder Scrolls Online Items

Since the end of 2024, Elder Scrolls Online has been announcing various new initiatives to show the game’s determination to become better as it enters its eleventh year. Now that 2025 has come to the fourth month, judging from the current performance, ESO has indeed fulfilled some of its promises.

First of all, Fallen Banners dungeon DLC and update 45, which have been launched, are the first major new content launched by the game in 2025. They have good overall performance and player reviews. At the 2025 Direct held on April 10, ESO announced some new news through the April roadmap. Next, we will introduce you to three of the main contents.

New Season - Seasons Of The Worm Cult

In the past few years, the way Elder Scrolls Online has updated the game content on a large scale has been to release a larger expansion or other content every year, but starting in 2025, the game decided to follow the example of some MMORPGs and switch to a seasonal content model. This will shorten the time between new content releases, and the development team will be able to flexibly adjust the next work plan based on player feedback more quickly.

Seasons Of The Worm Cult is undoubtedly the product of this change. It has landed on the PTS and is expected to be officially launched in June. From a plot perspective, it introduces a new area, the isle of Solstice, to bring a sequel to Molag Bal storyline in the original game, which takes place ten years later. What you have to do is to investigate the revival of Bal’s Worm Cult in the new area.

The isle of Solstice is located near the southern coast of Tamriel and is home to the exiled elves and Argonians. The area has Caribbean-style beaches and tropical forests. While you need to advance the main storyline, the season is expected to bring a series of new events and quests that can provide ESO Gold as rewards to ensure that you have a stable source of gold.

The season is expected to last for several months after the launch, which means that you may not see more new Elder Scrolls Online seasons this year, but this is the first season after the mode change, and it is common to need to run-in. In the coming years, seasons may be shorter, and new seasons may be launched in the form of remakes of old content, such as Dark Brotherhood.

New Subclasses Mode

In June, in addition to the new seasons, you are expected to experience the new subclass feature. It means that no matter which of the seven classes you initially choose in the game, you can also choose skills from up to two other classes’ skill lines to try. Considering the total number of classes and class skills, it is expected to bring more than 3,000 combinations.

The addition of this feature was announced at the 2025 Direct not long ago. Although the development team did not reveal more details at the time, it is certain that first of all, this feature will be unlocked when your character level reaches 50, and you also need to keep at least one skill line from the main class.

In other words, although a character can theoretically learn all non-main class skill lines, it can only actively use skills from two other class skill lines at a time. In addition, the unlocked subclass skill lines will apply to all characters in your account, and the unlocking of some class skill lines requires double skill points, but as long as you play the game frequently, this point is not difficult to obtain.

New Experimental Content

Although a lot of new content has been announced, the development team seems not satisfied with this and is still trying more possibilities. For example, they want to launch a new full-server event around this summer, based on the isle of Solstice, and set up a magic barrier called Writhing Wall here to divide Solstice into two. You and other players need to defend the island from the invasion of Worm Cult by collecting resources and finally break through the wall to unlock the second half of Solstice.

Another test content worth noting is Cyrodiil Champions, which ended on March 31. This is a test content launched by ESO for the overload problem that has existed in Cyrodiil’s PVP mode for many years. As one of the features of the game, this mode is completely necessary to be optimized.

In the test conducted from March 24 to 31, Cyrodiil Champions initially solved the original problem by significantly improving performance and greatly simplifying the skills and attributes of all players in Cyrodiil PVP mode. This not only means the success of the test, but also represents a milestone in the development process of the entire ESO. Even Cyrodiil Champions itself is expected to become a more mature in-game feature.

In addition, in order to fully ensure the gaming experience of different player groups, the game’s tutorials and novice areas are also being updated, and Welcome Back system will be launched this summer. ESO development team said that this will be a task-based and reward-oriented system.

In short, Elder Scrolls Online has proved to you with practical actions that they are indeed committed to developing the game better, and all you have to do is believe them and enjoy the game!

Elder Scrolls series, with its fascinating story and highly free gameplay, once became the benchmark for open world games, and until 2025, this series still has a large number of loyal fans. Although Elder Scrolls 4 and 5 are very good, they only show players a small part of the world. Elder Scrolls Online continues to improve this world with continuous updates.

The update 46 of Elder Scrolls Online will arrive. There is no doubt that this will be a major update. A lot of content will be announced in Elder Scrolls Online 2025 Direct. At that time, players will learn more about the new direction of Elder Scrolls Online, new features and modes, details of quarterly updates, and other things to look forward to.

What’s New In Update 46?

DLC

Reddit user DistanceFar7287 claims that next DLC is called Punished Dumac: A Dwemer’s Revenge. The DLC is about King Dumac Orc who survived the rampage of Dwemer. He created special Dwemer hormones that caused Nerevar to hallucinate and eventually killed him. He then came back from another dimension and he intends to take revenge on Chimer/Dunmer.

The authenticity of this news remains to be verified. Although he showed a picture as evidence, the above description still has some loopholes. However, if this news is true, then players may find gold in the dungeons of the new DLC and also get new Dwemer equipment.

New Area

From the leaked pictures, this update will include a new area. This new area has many high elf buildings, and there are many Argonians running around in it, which is a bit strange. You know that high elves are notorious racists in Elder Scrolls, and Argonians are at the bottom. It is almost impossible for high elves to stay with Argonians, and therefore there is reason to suspect that this area is an area abandoned by high elves, and Argonians occupied this area after they left.

This area will be a raid that can accommodate 12 people. You need to fight dangerous monsters and new bosses to win new rewards. Maybe it will include some high elf equipment and gold.

Main Story

The main story will also be promoted after the update of Update 46. Three heroes return in the trailer, and they basically represent different classes of players. The theme of Update 46 may be Seasons of the Worm Cult. Yes, this infamous cult is back again. Their secret weapon is the power of the dead, and you need to thwart their conspiracy against the entire Tamriel.

You need to track down the returning worm cult. Players go to Eastmarch and find a hidden fortress where you will meet a necromancer. Then explore an island that has never been seen before. Explore the ancient Argonian ruins and find the power to end it all before Worm Cult brings destruction.

In any case, I am glad that the main story is finally moving forward. The developers will launch a new chapter based on the previous story, which will bring some changes to the entire Tamriel.

In addition, it is revealed that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be announced at the Summer Game Festival in 2025. Although I don’t think that The Elder Scrolls 6 can be released in 2025, it is still exciting. Elder Scrolls Online and Elder Scrolls series share a worldview, and this update of Elder Scrolls Online may have an impact on the background story of The Elder Scrolls 6.
