Elevate Your ESO Home: A Sneak Peek into December 2023 Crown Store Offerings

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. April In Elder Scrolls Online April will be very busy for Elder Scrolls Online, with various activities, rewards, the prologue quest of Update 46, 11th anniversary event, and the big Elder Scrolls Online Direct. The team has a roadmap for April with all the big events: April 10: Elder Scrolls Online Direct and Update 46 Prologue April 3-22: Elder Scrolls Online 11th Anniversary Event April 3-23: Elder Scrolls Online Golden Pursuits (including 3 Hero Sets) April 24-29: In-Game Bonus You can claim your daily login bonus starting April 1st, plus there are a number of bonuses to claim, including the new custom operation Murkmire Harvest!

In addition, Fallen Banners dungeon DLC, which was coming to update 45, will also be introduced a new way to get it in the April 10th livestream. The update 46 prologue mission is expected on April 11th, when Kinda Funny Games partners will also launch its first episode, and another weekend of battlefield domination will be launched at the end of the month. Both streams will have Twitch Drops enabled, so you can link your account to Twitch while watching. Watch for more than 15 minutes to get 150% experience and a code for the 10th anniversary monkey as an in-game pet. 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.

Almost all MMORPGs have an open continent as a carrier for the entire game story. For Elder Scrolls Online, this continent is the vast Tamriel. Tamriel consists of 9 provinces, which were ruled by the empire in the past, but this unified situation gradually disintegrated in the second century of the fourth era. Now the 9 provinces belong to different races and forces in Tamriel. Among them, Cyrodiil, because it is located at the core of the entire continent, used to be the capital of the empire, and it is still the main habitat of humans now-all this is for the game story level. In fact, different provinces also play different roles in ESO’s gameplay. For example, Cyrodiil is a zone that allows players to engage in large-scale PVP battles outside of regular content. However, it is precisely because of this function that Cyrodiil has to carry many players to enter, so that the zone has long had serious server performance issues. However, after entering 2025, this situation is expected to change through a new test, that is, Cyrodiil Champions. Introduction To Cyrodiil As one of the main provinces of ESO, Cyrodiil is not only the capital of Tamriel but also the central battlefield of Three Banners War. In the past, Aldmeri Dominion, Daggerfall Covenant, and Ebonheart Pact fought for control of Imperial City, the Ruby Throne, and Cyrodiil. On the other hand, when the game was just launched in 2014, Cyrodiil was well received by players and industry insiders as a large-scale open world PVP area. Here you can be a member in one of the three factions in the game, and besiege each other’s territory with hundreds of players from other factions, and earn ESO Gold and even other more precious resources through endless and free battles. How To Fight In This Zone? Generally speaking, as long as you reach level 10 in the game, you can enter Cyrodiil and join one of the multiple campaigns. Then in the campaign, if your character is below level 50, the campaign will raise your character’s attributes to the same level as level 50 to eliminate the level difference between players, but it is still recommended to start Cyrodiil campaign after reaching level 50, because your gear and skill level will be better at this time. During the campaign, you need to fight with players of the same faction and real players of the enemy faction for control of Cyrodiil. There are multiple campaigns in Cyrodiil, but your character can only be assigned to one main campaign and one guest campaign (with different amounts of rewards available). If you want to access other campaigns, this requires 15,000 ESO Gold. Cyrodiil’s Flaws Although the campaign gameplay in Cyrodiil and the huge PVP scale it brought made Elder Scrolls Online unparalleled for a while shortly after its launch, the zone soon had many bugs due to the large number of players it had to bear at the same time and the complexity of the entire underlying game, such as poor frame rate and extremely delayed combat, which caused the core highlight PVP siege gameplay to always fail to work properly. The most direct way to solve these flaws may be to reduce the scale of PVP combat, but then Cyrodiil will undoubtedly lose its greatest value. The only way is to upgrade technology continuously to solve Cyrodiil’s server overload problem. Over the past decade, ESO developers have been working hard on this, and with the arrival of the eleventh year, this embarrassing situation may be expected to change. What Is Cyrodiil Champions? Cyrodiil Champions is actually a public test for Cyrodiil bugs that will start running on ESO’s live PC servers on March 24, 2025, and is expected to last for a week to the 31st. This test event will simplify your character’s class skills while retaining all large-scale sieges in Cyrodiil and disable more advanced combat benefits, including passive abilities and armor types. This simplification will undoubtedly greatly change the class capabilities in Cyrodiil. For example, your character will not be able to cause damage and heal at the same time, which was possible before. In addition, some unnecessary modeling in the battle scenes is expected to be simplified or directly cancelled. You May Like: What Big Changes Will You See In Elder Scrolls Online In 2025? Although you may doubt whether this approach is only a temporary solution, the development team said that on the one hand, PVE and PVP modes should be strictly distinguished because they provide different experiences, so on this basis, making PVP more distinctive through simplification is a necessary and bold attempt. On the other hand, simplification will actually be more friendly to players, especially if you are a novice who is afraid of fighting against real people. Simplifying the skill operation in the PVP mode may make you more willing to enter Cyrodiil to experience related campaigns. The Significance Of Cyrodiil Champions Since the end of 2024, Elder Scrolls Online has announced and started to implement a number of new initiatives in the hope that you will see a completely different ESO, and the emergence of Cyrodiil Champions is undoubtedly one of the changes. If the feedback from this test is good enough in the end, it will not only mean that Cyrodiil defects that have troubled players and the development team for many years have finally been solved, but also represent that in 2025, the year when a new era of ESO begins, the game has made another new and representative progress. In short, Cyrodiil Champions is very worth looking forward to. If you want to know whether Cyrodiil campaign gameplay will get better in the future through it, start to experience it on March 24!

Seeking breakthroughs should be something that any MMORPG that wants to persist in operation must do. Even if the current game development trend is good, it will soon be eliminated by other competitors without maintenance and updates. That is why, in the current prosperous game market, the classic MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online follows the rules and trends and ushered in a new era of its own in 2025. As the first year after the game held its 10th anniversary event, 2025 has naturally become the best time node for ESO developers to implement various new plans. In fact, at the end of last year, the game gradually announced a number of new plans, such as the game update mode changed from a major annual update to a new season every few months, and the plan will be implemented through the launch of update 45 and the new DLC Fallen Banners. As time goes by, three or four days ago on March 10th, you can finally start to experience update 45 and the new DLC in ESO first through the PC/Mac platform (Xbox and PlayStation login will have to wait until March 26th). It is worth noting that update 45 is free for all subscribed players, but the new DLC has changed the old mechanism and needs to be obtained separately. Therefore, in order to help you consider whether to experience this DLC, we will focus on introducing you to the overview of the two dungeons in it. DLC Fallen Banners Overview The two new PVE dungeons in Fallen Banners DLC are Lep Seclusa and Exiled Redoubt. Although their exclusive plots are different, they have something in common: they will reward you with ESO Gold or other items necessary for playing the game after you complete the relevant tasks. Generally speaking, as long as you are a subscriber to Elder Scrolls Online, you can enjoy all DLC for free before, but perhaps due to the chain reaction caused by changes in the seasonal update mechanism and other aspects, you must currently have an ESO Plus membership to access the dungeons in Fallen Banners. Or you can just wait and see until the developers reveal other ways to get the DLC during ESO Direct on April 10. Dungeon 1 Lep Seclusa Most PVE dungeons in RPGs have a storyline all their own, and Lep Seclusa is no exception. It’s actually home to a little-known group of Redguard monks called Hel Netu, who have long been dedicated to erasing any knowledge of Hel Netu from the rest of Tamriel, making Lep Seclusa the perfect place to hide Elder Scrolls. It’s a method that worked for a long time, as Tamriel all but forgot about Lep Seclusa, Hel Netu, and the mysterious scrolls they held. But as you might guess, there are no secrets that last forever. As the dungeon content unfolds, Orpheon the Tactician and his deserter army have somehow learned about Lep Seclusa, and they believe that the prophecy on the scroll hidden here is the key to their control of Ruby Throne and the empire, so they will use all means to obtain the scroll, and what you have to do is to stop Orpheon and his army when they attack and defend Lep Seclusa with Moth Priests together. Dungeon 2 Exiled Redoubt Unlike Lep Seclusa’s own mysterious story, the relevant plot of Exiled Redoubt is much simpler and the difficulty level will be more friendly. Exiled Redoubt is the underground fortress of a former noble Cato Albus in ESO. He seems to be planning some ulterior conspiracy here, because the plot will tell you that many Alliance War veterans have disappeared here. What you have to do next is to fight in the dungeon with Battlemage Lucilla while investigating, find out the reason for the disappearance of veterans, and crush Cato Albus’s plan. After completing the dungeon, you will receive gold, unique dye, a monster mask, and three armor sets for each class of equipment as rewards. Don’t Miss ESO Direct! In order to let players know the next plan of the game in 2025, as well as the effects and feedback of the recent update rhythm and content changes, Elder Scrolls Online plans to hold an ESO Direct starting at 3:00 pm on Thursday, April 10. The reason why you are recommended not to miss this Direct and related programs is that on the one hand, it should reveal more new information about Fallen Banners DLC, as well as some content related to update 46; on the other hand, after watching the Direct and the program, you will have the opportunity to get Twitch Drops, including 150% XP scrolls for watching the live broadcast for 15 minutes and Skill Respecification scrolls for watching the program for 30 minutes. In addition, the one-year ESO 10th anniversary celebration, which started in April last year, has not yet ended, so the event will announce the bonus code set in this live broadcast, which you can use to redeem the 10th anniversary exclusive monkey pet in the game! In short, whether you are a new or old player of ESO, 2025 is definitely the year you should pay the most attention and energy to the game. I hope you can have a great gaming experience!

Elder Scrolls Online is a popular MMORPG set in the world of Elder Scrolls’ Tamriel. Currently, ESO is about to launch a major update covering new companions, PvP updates, and more. Although the focus of ESO in 2024 is Gold Road expansion, the upcoming Update 44 is equally important. Update 44 brings new features and enhancements to the base game experience for all players. This update not only focuses on the expansion content, but also optimizes the game itself, such as greatly improving the novice tutorial, upgrading the item system, and introducing a new Grimoire - Banner Bearer. This Grimoire belongs to Support Skill Line and can provide an AoE buff to teammates. Next, this guide will give you a detailed introduction to more new content about Update 44. Update 44 Is Coming Many players have been looking forward to the release of Update 44, and now it is finally here. Elder Scrolls Online is coming to PC and Mac on October 28th, followed by Xbox and PlayStation on November 13th. Even players who don’t get any of the expansions will enjoy most of what this update brings. This update includes some exciting new features, such as reworked Battlegrounds, new companions, and Scribing Grimoire, waiting for everyone to explore and use. In short, both veteran players and newcomers can make full use of these new features to accumulate some ESO Gold for the game. Currently, Update 44 is available on Public Test Server. This provides everyone who wants to experience the new version of the content in advance, carefully check the changes, and look for bugs or problems. Interested players can visit Public Test Server to try it out and help the development team find and report any potential technical glitches or design deficiencies. New Companions Tanlorin And Zerith-var Elder Scrolls Online will welcome two new allies in Update 44 - Tanlorin and Zerith-var. If you already have an active ESO Plus membership, you’ll get both new allies for free, otherwise you’ll need to unlock them by using crowns in the in-game store. Once unlocked, players can find Tanlorin in Auridon and Zerith-var in Reaper’s March. Taelorin is a non-binary High Elf outcast who uses a mix of Soul Magic and Dragonknight abilities, wears medium armor, and wields daggers as weapons. Zerith-var is a warrior Khajiit necromancer from Order of the Hidden Moon, time-traveled from First Era, who uses his necromantic powers to save fallen souls. With Zerith’s necromancy, every class in Elder Scrolls Online can now be represented by companions. Each companion grants players passive buffs when adventuring with their ally. Battlegrounds Update PvP combat has undergone a major overhaul with Update 44, with Battlegrounds moving from three-way competitions to two-way battles. The traditional 4v4v4 mode will be removed after this update. PvP will mainly provide two battlefield modes: one is a 4v4 competitive mode with four players in each team, and the other is an 8v8 standard mode with eight players in each team. The latter will include some power-ups. It is worth mentioning that even after this major update, some classic battlefield modes that are deeply loved by players, such as Team Deathmatch, Crazy King, Domination, Chaosball (8v8), and Capture the Relic (8v8) will still be retained. The continued availability of these modes ensures that all players, whether new or old, can find a sense of belonging in the familiar gameplay. More strikingly, Update 44 will bring seven new Battleground maps, which are tailored for the new two-sided matches. 4v4 Alik’r Desert Battleground 4v4 Arena Coliseum Battleground 4v4 Castle Courtyard Battleground 4v4 Sewer Battleground 8v8 Bosmer Forest Battleground 8v8 City Streets Battleground 8v8 Temple Battleground Before the upcoming new Battlegrounds, ESO has held a special Battlegrounds Deathmatch Weekend from October 17 to October 22. The event adopts a 4v4v4 battle mode and provides participants with additional Alliance Points as rewards. In addition, a new golden Battleground set piece is also added to the leaderboard rewards. More Exciting Events In Elder Scrolls Online In fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg of ESO’s future plans. Besides the much-anticipated Update 44, the annual Witches Festival Event has also returned to ESO to celebrate Halloween. The event will run from October 24, 2024 to November 6, during which players will participate in specially designed quests and win unique rewards. In November, a series of exciting events will kick off, including a Domination Weekend and the autumn-themed Legacy of the Bretons event. In December, another annual event, New Life Festival, will usher in a new gaming experience and favourable time for players. With these colorful activities and features coming online one after another, plus more secret content that has not yet been announced, Elder Scrolls Online will undoubtedly become one of the hottest games in the hearts of all adventurers. It is worth noting that from now until June 2025, the official promise is to continue to launch various surprise activities to give back to the support and love of the majority of players. Therefore, whether you are a long-lost old player or a newcomer to this fantasy world, now is the best time to return to the world of Tamriel or explore its unknown corners.
