With Christmas and the new year, many games are busy launching new seasonal events to provide you with a brand new gaming experience and keep it fresh. Elder Scrolls Online is no exception.
In fact, some time ago, ESO not only launched the winter fun event New Life Festival on December 19, but also announced that different seasons will be announced in the game starting in 2025. The combination of these two will surely enable you to consume the last part of 2024 happily and fully in excitement and anticipation.
Based on this, we will introduce these two new contents to you.
How To Participate In New Life Festival?
As one of the winter events, ESO’s New Life Festival will last until January 7 next year. During this period, you can not only enjoy the festive atmosphere in the event but also get ESO Gold, automatic +100% XP gain and more rewards by completing event tasks.
It is worth noting that if you want to make full use of this event, please complete the introductory tasks that have not been completed immediately. Or if you already have Breda’s Bottomless Mead Mug stored away, grab them from your inventory.
Besides automatically increasing your XP by 100%, New Life Festival also provides you with 10 daily quests to spread holiday cheer across Tamriel. Just complete one daily quest and you’ll receive a New Life Festival box.
Specific Rewards Offered By New Life Festival
When you receive the festival box, you’ll find items including various alchemical crafting materials, New Life Festival toys, Wolfsbane incense, a selection of recipes, New Life Festival furniture, charity works, and Skin-changer theme pages.
Among the new items is the runebox that can open Surprising Snowglobe memento and a bolt of Winter Storm Cloth. You can get it once a day during the event. And if you already get a runebox that day, you have the chance to get a replacement item.
In fact, your chances of getting a runebox increase as you have more Winter Storm bolts and New Life Winter Storm Robes - New Life Winter Storm Robe can be crafted with 15 cloth rolls.
In addition, with the return of Impresario, you can also get many new and returning items, including all the components of this year’s transformation collection. And if you don’t have enough parts to make the required items, you can exchange them for tickets.
It is worth noting that this event announcement details the items you can collect during the event. If you missed the event goods in previous years, you will also have a chance to get them again at New Life Festival. For this reason, we recommend that you can maximize all your opportunities by winning some tickets by participating in the celebration event.
New Year, New Season
It is reported that Elder Scrolls Online will officially switch the entire game mechanism to a seasonal mode in 2025, and will provide you with more improvements and new content through more frequent updates. In addition, the game team also stated that it will effectively improve PVP mode, the experience of new and returning players, and will introduce new plots to existing areas.
How Will The New Season Be Presented?
According to the information currently revealed by the game developers, ESO is expected to launch new seasons of three to six months in 2025, instead of annual chapter updates as before. And the new season will bring you new themed story content, activities, store items, dungeons, etc.
However, this also means that 2025 is a transitional period for Elder Scrolls Online, because the game team will still release new content based on existing areas, as well as larger projects that are already in preparation - in fact, they have already completed these contents and completely switched to seasonal development.
And the aspects of the new season plot in the latest announcement may make you feel a little “return to the roots”. Because the plot begins to refocus on classic game groups such as Thieves Guild, Mages Guild, Dark Brotherhood, and Fighters Guild.
In addition, the plot will not only launch new stories in familiar areas but also bring back familiar characters, or expand some continued stories. You will even can experience new areas, although it may take multiple updates.
What is more worth looking forward to is that ESO may also improve your combat feel while increasing the difficulty of world battles by updating animations and skill effects.
This year, Elder Scrolls Online not only launched a celebration from April to celebrate its 10th anniversary, but also decided to launch the above new game content to make a good start for the next decade, which is enough to show the sincerity of the development team.
In order to cooperate with these changes in ESO, IGGM Discord will also provide you with some game giveaway information in the giveaway channel recently, so that you have the opportunity to get free game props and enhance the game experience! So hurry up and enter!
