Are you ready to explore the isle of Solstice and confront the necromancers of the Worm Cult? Let us know via X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Bluesky, and Facebook.

The Elder Scrolls Online: 2025 Content Pass and 2025 Premium Edition are now available for purchase and unlock a year’s worth of adventure throughout 2025. The Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 (ESO’s first zone and story release of the year) arrives June 2 on PC/Mac and June 18 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles—your Elder Scrolls saga has only just begun!

Get a closer look at 2025’s new zone and storyline, plus discover the Worm Cult’s return to their vile schemes in this preview!

ESO’s next big adventure is here as part of the new 2025 Content Pass, and it returns to the root of it all for a storyline 10 years in the making! The villainous Worm Cult from the game’s original main story questline is back, and it’s eager to resume their plans of domination.



You can experience your first taste of the Worm Cult’s revenge in-game right now with the free prologue quest. Prepare for the challenges ahead and face off against the cult’s new weapons, the Soul Reapers, in a story that leads directly into Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1.
Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 launches on June 2 for PC/Mac and June 18 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles and is included as part of the 2025 Content Pass. In this new storyline and zone, you must uncover and investigate the Worm Cult’s new base of operations on the tropical island of Solstice.

The city of Sunport in Solstice

In Part 1, as you explore Western Solstice, you will quickly discover that the Worm Cult is far from defenseless. They’ve erected a massive arcane barrier using soul magic—the Writhing Wall—that divides the island, and for now, Eastern Solstice (and its secrets) is sealed off by this arcane edifice.

The Worm Cult has gathered great strength

Despite being a zone divided, you will find that Western Solstice is full of challenges and rewards, including new World Bosses, Delves, a Public Dungeon, and a brand-new Trial, the Ossein Cage. There are 16 Antiquities (including three new Mythic items), four new Trial item sets (including Perfected versions), and a host of other rewards, including even more item sets, and a ton of Collectibles, from crafting motifs to pets. You’ll also receive a 10% experience boost from adventuring in Solstice all year!

Seasons of the Worm Cult Parts 1 and 2 Rewards

As exciting as all that is, Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 is only the beginning, with more unlocking over 2025 as part of the same purchase. In Q3/Q4 (exact timing TBD), you can band together with other players across Tamriel to bring down the Writhing Wall in a world-changing one-time event.

Bring down the Writhing Wall

Using the advantages gained in your Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 adventures, the forces opposing the Worm Cult have a plan to pierce the barrier and prepare for a true assault on the Worm Cult’s base in Eastern Solstice.

They’ll need help to do it though—help from all across Tamriel. Join with other players for activities in Solstice and beyond to complete the event and unbar the way forward. You can even help the war effort with just base game access, as people all across Tamriel can gather resources to help fuel the assault.

Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 2 arrives in Q4 and gives you the opportunity to finally uncover just what these villains have been hiding behind the arcane barrier. Be warned, Eastern Solstice is far less welcoming than the previous territory, thanks to the Worm Cult’s malign influence.

What lurks in Eastern Solstice?

Solstice’s second half introduces yet more challenges and rewards, with additional World Bosses, Delves, another Public Dungeon, and new rewards both exclusive to the new content and shared across the unified Solstice zone. You can expect three new overland item sets (giving Solstice six in total once Part 2 unlocks), three more Mythic items, and many more items and collectibles to earn.

The year’s new content isn’t limited to Solstice, as the 2025 Content Pass also includes access to a host of four-player dungeons in 2025. Two of them—Exiled Redoubt and Lep Seclusa—are already available as part of the Fallen Banners dungeon pack.

Tamriel is beset with strife on all sides

In Q3, you’ll also face new threats in the Feast of Shadows dungeon pack, which contains the dungeons Black Gem Foundry and Naj Caldeesh. Assault a Daedric forge supplying the Worm Cult from Coldharbour and fight to stop their corruption of an ancient Xanmeer as you battle through these new four-player challenges, each with their own unique rewards!

With four major releases, including both Western and Eastern Solstice, four dungeons, and a special one-time event, there's a full year of adventures, challenges, and changes coming your way with the 2025 Content Pass. How do you plan to make your stand against the Worm Cult’s return? Are you excited to begin your journey into Solstice? Let us know via Bluesky, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook. 

Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 is included within the 2025 Content Pass and 2025 Premium Edition and arrives on June 2, 2025, for PC/Mac and June 18, 2025, for Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

Join the new Vengeance Alliance War campaign and help us test changes and collect data that could inform future improvements to the game.

Part of the ongoing effort to improve performance and stability in ESO’s open-world PvP experience, Cyrodill Champions has now found its way to the PC/Mac live servers with the Vengeance campaign.

This test Alliance War campaign is now live until the morning of March 31 (during scheduled maintenance). Note that during this time, this will be the ONLY Alliance War campaign available for PC/Mac players.

If you’d like to help us test changes to Cyrodiil and its open-world combat, you can do so by following the process below:

1. Navigate to the Alliance War menu
1. Either by pressing L on your keyboard or navigating direct via the UI
2. Select the Campaigns tab
3. Select Cyrodiil and then the Vengeance campaign

The Vengeance campaign is open to all players level 10-50 and introduces a special ruleset to the Alliance War, templatizing player builds to help improve stability.

• All players have normalized stats regardless of level
• Each Class has a modified set of abilities and items
• While in Vengeance, you cannot change your class
• While in Vengeance, you cannot access your bank, vendors, or crafting nodes
• Only Experience Points, Alliance Points, gold, and Champion Points are retained upon leaving the campaign, and no items can be taken out
• The Champion System is disabled in this campaign
• All quests are disabled in this campaign

Upon entering the campaign, your character is changed to match a specific template for their class. As mentioned above, this includes pre-determined abilities, attributes, consumables, and item sets. It also includes a backpack of supplies that cannot be removed from the campaign.

Note that the templatizing of characters is an experiment and does not necessarily mean that these changes will be made to the Alliance War in the future. By introducing templatized characters for this specific test, we can isolate the variables that impact performance, helping us plan future improvements.

For more, check out this Vengeance Campaign Q&A on the official forums.

Not only does this campaign help test Cyrodiil’s performance while under specific conditions, but it also allows you to battle your fellow players on a completely even playing field. No matter your experience level or items, everybody who enters the Vengeance campaign is at the same power level—leaving only your skill to determine the victor!

As you fight to control Cyrodiil, a bonus Golden Pursuits campaign is running at the same time, allowing you (on any platform) to earn even more Gold and Alliance Points. Take up arms on behalf of your chosen Alliance and help us chart the future of ESO’s open-world PvP game mode—we need you!

Don’t forget, this test is for PC/Mac users only (although anybody can complete the Golden Pursuits activities and earn the bonus rewards) and is now live until March 31. Are you ready to return to Cyrodiil? Let us know via X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Bluesky, and Facebook.

Spread cheer and chaos in equal measure to receive raucous rewards during this year’s Jester’s Festival in-game event!

The Jester’s Festival in-game event makes its grand return on March 27 at 10AM EDT and will continue until April 3 at 10AM EDT, 2025. Once the fun begins, you can enjoy increases to XP gains and revel in raucous rewards after completing event-specific quests.

To receive admission to the festivities, head over to the event pavilions located within Ebonheart, Vulkhel Guard, or Daggerfall, and speak with one of the three jesters posing as an alliance leader. If the buffoonery of the bash is making your head spin while trying to locate these event sites, open the in-game Crown Store and pick up the Jester's Festival Invitation Quest.

Everybody’s getting in on the party

Upon completing the introductory quest, you’ll earn the delectable Pie of Misrule memento reward, which can be located within the Mementos section of your Collections. However, unlike some previous years, you will no longer need to obtain or use the Pie of Misrule to take advantage of the 100% XP buff. This bonus will now be shared passively to all adventurers participating in Tamriel’s most hilarious holiday. Still, the Pie doesn’t seem to get stale despite the time passing, so feel free to dig in!

Throughout the Jester’s Festival, you can pick up various event-specific daily quests. For each one completed, you’ll receive a Jester's Festival Box. Furthermore, the first Jester’s Festival daily quest you complete each day will reward you with one Stupendous Jester's Festival Box.

Each of these boxes can include the following items:

• Festive Dazzlers
• Cherry Blossom Confetti
• Revelry Pies
• Festive furnishings
• Jester’s Festival provisioning recipes
• Treasures that can be sold to vendors for Gold
• Previous years’ style pages
• One of the following:
• A random unbound page for either the Broom or Bucket styles.
• Regal Regalia, Second Seed, or Jester’s Seeker Suit style pages
• A fragment for previous Jester’s collectibles:
• Cadwell's Surprise Box memento
• Sovereign Sow pet
• Playful Prankster's Surprise Box memento
• Jester’s Daedroth Suit costume

In addition to the aforementioned rewards, the Stupendous Jester’s Festival Box has a chance to contain the following goodies:

• NEW: A random unbound page of the Alliance Mimicry outfit style
• Note that this style consists of head and chest pages for each alliance
• NEW: An unbound Jester’s Deadly Headband adornment Runebox
• Jester's Scintillator Runebox
• Cherry Blossom Branch Runebox
• Cadwell's Kitchen weapon style page
• High-value treasures
• Festive Noise Maker Parts
• Joke Popper Parts

Alliance Mimicry Styles and Jester’s Deadly Headband adornment

During the festivities, you can collect three Event Tickets for the first Jester’s Festival quest completed each day. Participating in the festivities every day of the event can earn you up to 24 tickets total.

Note that the total number of Event Tickets you can carry at one time is capped at 12. If you are close to the limit, then be sure to spend a few to avoid wasting any Tickets. That’d be a little too silly even for Jester’s Festival!

Never one to miss a party, the Impresario has special wares on sale during the event:

• All three Stonewisp of Truth and Law pet fragments
• Axiomatic Runestones
• Glyph of Law
• Powdered Wisp Remains
• All three fragments for the Logical Rune Extraction customized action
