And last but not least, a personal favorite upcoming feature: the ability to choose your starting zone instead of being forced into the current expansion’s iteration!Īs a warm up to the big show, the prelude DLC Flames of Ambition will be released in March on all platforms. Soon you can have your own interactive NPC keeping you company (and hopefully helping) while you adventure. On top of this, TESO will introduce a new companion system. More than 30 hours of a new main storyline as well as many sidequests will be woven throughout the three new areas. Launching in June, Blackwood will include the expected new delves, public dungeons, world bosses, Oblivion portal world events, and a 12-man trial. The year-long focus for TESO is Gates of Oblivion, and Bethesda called it "an amazing year of daedric destruction." The star of this show will be the Blackwood chapter.

When is the next big update happening?īethesda shared the big news for 2021 at a global reveal event on January 26th. In December, devs had to tweet out asking players to avoid certain dungeons during the dungeon-running Undaunted event because of serious crashes. What players generally are not happy about are the stability issues that plagued the last year, especially during big events. Players are also really happy with the revealed rework of the champion system not only will there be significantly more points to allocate into this post-50 progression system but there will also be horizontal progression choices on top of vertical. Excitement for the next chapter is high, and many like to see TESO mixing nostalgia and originality in new expansions instead of just retreading ground of the most popular single-player games. Player counts are up, which is a good sign.

The devs have committed to making 2021 a less buggy, more stable year for The Elder Scrolls Online as it gets ready to embrace Oblivion. Amid the new zones, features, and story of The Year of Skyrim were rough, buggy updates and patches that sometimes caused more problems than they fixed. A playable map that has doubled in size since launch, customizable in-game housing, and multiple expansions' worth of new quests all contributed to that success.Ģ020 was a successful year for The Elder Scrolls Online, but it was still a challenging one. TESO already had systems and features in place for players to really delve into. The developers attribute some of this growth to the worldwide pandemic, but not just because people have more time. April 2020 had the highest average player count ever, and it's consistently averaging higher than previous years. While Steam is only one of the platforms The Elder Scrolls Online is available on, its charts show the game's upward trend.
