Continue your Season of the Dragon adventure with Elsweyr, the latest Chapter in the Elder Scrolls Online saga! Discover the new zone, story, and Necromancer class in addition to a massive free base-game update.

We are thrilled to announce that The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr and Update 22 are both now live for all platforms, including PC/Mac, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One. This Chapter and free base-game update brings an exciting world to explore, captivating stories to experience, and a brand-new class to master.

Dragons stalk the skies over Elsweyr, and the Khajiit struggle to defend their homeland from both invading Imperials and the monstrous beasts. While featuring a strong stand-alone story in its own right, ESO: Elsweyr continues the Season of the Dragon adventure that started with the Wrathstone DLC and continues throughout the rest of the year’s updates.

This new Chapter includes:

• A zone to explore: Elsweyr
• A story detailing the efforts to protect the Khajiiti homeland from the Dragons
•  A class to master: the Necromancer
• A 12-player Trial: Sunspire
• A massive collection of side quests and stunning locations to explore
• Item sets, collectibles, and more

Explore a New Zone
In the northern region of Elsweyr known as Anequina, discover a world made up of dusty canyons, fertile moon-sugar fields, tepid rainforests, and bone-dry grasslands. Within this diverse environment, you can experience the home of the Khajiit and discover the remnants of their ancient culture.

Anequina is not without its dangers, however, and in this zone, you encounter new World Bosses, Public Dungeons, and Delves scattered throughout the landscape, in addition to a host of side quests to complete and amazing locations to explore.

Save the Khajiit
The great northern city of Rimmen now lies under the control of the Usurper Queen Euraxia, and Elsweyr’s scattered defenders struggle to contend with her Euraxian legions and ever-growing undead army. To make matters worse, Dragons roam the skies above Elsweyr, forming a troubling alliance with the Usurper Queen.

In this epic story, you must work with both local and foreign allies to remove Euraxia from her seat of power and break her hold over Elsweyr. Of course, your journey does not end here, as this story is part of the year-long Season of the Dragon adventure, continuing throughout the rest of 2019!

Become a Necromancer
Manipulate the souls of the dead to empower yourself and your allies with the Necromancer, ESO’s first new class since ESO: Morrowind. With the Necromancer, you have access to three unique Skill Lines that allow you to assault your enemies, bolster your defense, and heal your allies.

To boost the power of your abilities. But be wary, necromancy is largely forbidden in Tamriel, and should you openly practice the dark arts, you might attract the attention of the less-enlightened.

Fell Monstrous Dragons
With the Halls of Colossus opened, Dragons strike from above. Overwhelming the region’s scattered defenders, these legendary monsters threaten to burn down the ancestral home of the Khajiit. When exploring Elsweyr, you can encounter Dragons in world events called Dragon Hunts, within the zone’s Trial called Sunspire, and throughout the Elsweyr main story, as well.

Be warned: You’re no Dovahkiin, and to defeat a Dragon in The Elder Scrolls Online, you must gather your most powerful allies and strike as one!

Free Sunspire
Three Dragons, one claiming to be the avatar of Alkosh himself, have occupied the great Temple of the First Cat. In this new 12-player Trial, you and your team must fight your way through the Dragons’ disciples and put a stop to the false gods’ plans. Challenging boss fights and unique rewards await those brave enough to stand up to the golden Dragon, Nahvintaas.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr is available in multiple editions, including a Standard Edition, Collector's Editions, and Upgrade Editions for those who already own the ESO base game. Note that to run The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr, your machine needs to meet the game's requirements for PC or Mac.

In addition to the Elsweyr Chapter, The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr Digital Collector's Edition and Digital Collector's Edition Upgrade includes a host of unique digital items, including a mount, pet, outfit style, and more.



Finally, if you pre-purchase The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr by June 4, you’ll also receive additional bonus items, including a costume, pet, XP scrolls, treasure maps, a Baandari Pedlar Crown Crate, and Rahd-m’Athra mount!

For more information on the ESO: Elsweyr editions and pre-purchase items, check out our Elsweyr editions and pre-purchase rewards article. It's not too late to pre-purchase ESO: Elsweyr now and receive the above bonus items, even if you're on PC/Mac!

Once you purchase ESO: Elsweyr, there’s a few ways you can travel to and begin your adventures in the ancestral home of the Khajiit. You can explore Elsweyr with an existing character or a new one, and there’s no level requirements for this new zone and adventure.

Wayshrine Travel
Easy! You can instantly travel to Elsweyr with any of your existing characters by using the Rimmen Wayshrine. To do so, open your map, select the Elsweyr zone, and then select the Wayshrine icon (it should be the only one available).

Start from the Main Quest
You can pick up the first quest before even reaching Elsweyr by navigating to your Collections UI, selecting Stories, and then Chapters. From that menu, you can select Elsweyr, acquire the first quest titled “A Rage of Dragons," and begin your adventure. It will point you in the right direction.

New Characters
Any new characters created in ESO: Elsweyr can go through the new tutorial. Once complete, you enter the new zone. A world of adventure awaits!

In addition to the new Chapter, we have also released Update 22, a new base-game patch that brings a host of new features, changes, and improvements for all ESO players (no Chapter purchase needed).

Guild Finder System
With Update 22, we have added a new Guild Finder tool to help you both join a Guild and find new members for one. As a Guild leader, you can use the Guild Finder to advertise your Guild based on its unique characteristics and what kind of players you’re looking for. If you’re looking for a Guild to join, you can browse open Guilds and filter your search to find one based on your specific needs.



Set your Guild Listing and choose from many options

You can filter Guilds by activities (such as PvP, Trials, Trading, or Roleplaying, and much more) and by play style (casual, balanced, or hard-core). Guilds can even set specific Alliances, Champion Point requirements, or roles. With this new system, Guilds can easily find like-minded players to join their ranks!

Weapons Artifacts Come to Cyrodiil
If you’re a veteran of the Alliance War, Update 22 introduces a system that is sure to shake up Cyrodiil: Weapon Artifacts. Now, at random points during an ongoing Alliance War campaign (about four to five times a day), a powerful weapon will spawn in the PvP zone. The first warrior to reach the Weapon Artifact and use it gains a deadly new Skill Line.



Wield the mighty Volendrung

These new abilities come at a cost, however, because if you don’t continually earn Alliance Points, it’ll slowly drain your life away! You can find a tutorial for the first Weapon Artifact, called Volendrung, in each Alliance starter gate (near the quest boards).

Summerset Moves to the Crown Store
As of today, The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset Digital Upgrade and The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset Digital Collector’s Edition will no longer be available in The Elder Scrolls Online Store and on Steam Store. Instead, the Summerset Chapter is being added to the in-game Crown Store as a DLC item. This means that if you are an ESO Plus member, you’ll now automatically have access to the Summerset zone and story.

In addition to this, we’re adding a separate Summerset Collector’s Bundle to the in-game Crown Store that includes pre-purchase and Collector’s Edition bonus items.

Elsweyr burns as the Season of the Dragon heats up with this newest Chapter in The Elder Scrolls Online saga. The Usurper Queen and her army of the undead threatens the people of Elsweyr, and a rage of Dragons brings ruin from above. Warriors are needed to help defend the ancestral home of the Khajiit, and dark new powers await those who heed the call. Are you excited to enter Elsweyr and master the necromantic arts? Tell us on Twitter @TESOnline, Instagram, or Facebook.

We are thrilled to announce that The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr and Update 22 are now both live on the Public Test Server. This test includes the entire new Chapter and the Update 22 base game patch and is limited to PC/Mac players only.

If you’ve tested the game previously, either for the Morrowind or Summerset Chapter, you can get into this new test from the ESO launcher with no invite required. Just enable “Show Public Test Environment" from your launcher settings. If you haven’t tested a Chapter for us before, but have played ESO this last year, you’ll receive (or have already received!) an email invite with the details. Because this is such a large test, invites will be sent out over the next few days, so don’t worry if you don’t immediately get yours.

Please note that anybody can install and get into the Public Test Environment and check out the Update 22 base game content, but if they were not invited to this new test or were not a previous tester, they won’t have access to the Elsweyr Chapter.

To avoid story spoilers, you must agree to a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) upon login. This NDA is specific to the ESO: Elsweyr main quest and its story, but you are free to stream and talk about anything you experience in the new zone with the exception of the Chapter's main storyline beyond the first quest “A Rage of Dragons.” You can share any side quests you enjoy, but please be careful when discussing things that might be considered a spoiler—don’t ruin the fun! We’ll let you know when the NDA is lifting in the future.

All PTS testers will have a watermark visible while playing. To reiterate: You can share almost all of your ESO: Elsweyr gameplay publicly, including side quests, the Necromancer class, the Sunspire Trial, open world adventures, Dragon Hunt Events, Delves, World Bosses, Public Dungeons, and anything in the base game, but please refrain from sharing any details related to the main quest beyond “A Rage of Dragons” and its storyline.

Your feedback is extremely important to us, and we truly value comments and bug reports when testing this new Chapter. Please note that we are guaranteed to make adjustments throughout the testing period, so keep an eye out on the PTS forum (you'll need to log into the forums in order to participate) for the latest patch notes.

Here’s what you can experience when testing the Elsweyr Chapter:

• A massive new zone, Elsweyr
• A new main story quest (partly under NDA)
• The Necromancer class
•  A new Trial, Sunspire
• New Dragon Hunt Events
• New World Bosses, Delves, Public Dungeons, and side quests
• Powerful new item sets

During the test, you can also check out some of Update 22’s new features, too:

• The new Daedric Artifacts system in the Alliance War
• A Guild Finder tool
• Two new home to explore
• And more!

Starting right now, you can jump into ESO: Elsweyr, see the new zone, test out the Necromancer class, and help us prepare this latest Season of the Dragon adventure for PC/Mac Early Access on May 20 and full release for all platforms on June 4! Will you be logging in to the Public Test Environment and taking your first steps into Elsweyr? Let us know on @TESOnline, Instagram, and Facebook!

The XP-boosting (and delicious) Jubilee Cake 2019

During each week of the event, we’ll be highlighting different types of daily quests, and you can participate in those daily quests to earn unique rewards. This is the only in-game event we’re running in Q2 of 2019 and is the only time you can pick up the new Indrik Berries required to evolve your Nascent Indriks into the brand-new Luminous Indrik (more on that below).

Each week for the first four weeks, you’ll be encouraged to participate in a different activity for special rewards. Each time you complete one of the week’s daily activities, you’ll earn an Anniversary Jubilee Gift Box, containing rare crafting ingredients (even Aetheric Ciphers!), recipes, and on occasion, a Motif Chapter for almost any motif in the game, including Worm Cult. However, each unique week also has a chance to grant you a specific new Outfit Style. Finally, on the fifth week, all the previous activities and rewards are up for grabs, allowing you to catch up!


Dress like a companion!

Here’s the different activities and rewards you’ll earn each week of the event. Each new week begins at 10:00AM EDT.

Throughout the entire event, you’ll earn two Event Tickets the first time you use the Jubilee Cake 2019 each day, with the timer resetting at 2:00AM EDT. This means by the end of the event, you could have earned a total of 72 tickets!

Luminous Indrik Mount Berries
Each week, a new Indrik Berry will be added to the Impresario’s stock, starting with the Luminous Berries of Bloom the first week, and then the Luminous Berries of Budding, Luminous Berries of Growth, and Luminous Berries of Ripeness in subsequent weeks. Once you’ve collected all four unique Berries (you only need one of each), you’ll be able to evolve your Nascent Indrik into a Luminous Indrik mount!


Summon your own Luminous Indrik

Keep in mind that this five-week event is your first and only opportunity to pick up the Indrik Berries you’ll need to summon the Luminous Indrik - don’t miss out!

Companion Outfit Style Pages
During the event, you’ll also be able to spend event tickets on the weekly Outfit Style pages, with pages from the Prophet Outfit Style being available from Week 1, and the others coming available in their subsequent weeks.  Note that while a specific week’s Outfit Style pages won’t be available in a week that features a different activity and style, during Week 5, ALL Outfit Style pages will be made available for purchase with Event Tickets again, giving you an opportunity to catch up. Finally, Outfit Style pages purchased with Event Tickets cannot be traded.

Shimmering Indrik Pet
During Week 5, the Shimmering Indrik Pet will also be available for purchase with Event Tickets from the Impresario. This adorable companion can be acquired for 10 Event Tickets.


This adorable lil’ Indrik is only 10 Event Tickets!

Phew! As usual, the Impresario will continue to stock all four Nascent Indrik Feathers (so you can get a new Nascent Indrik mount), and you can continue to buy Event Tickets from the Crown Store if desired.

There’s many different ways you can play The Elder Scrolls Online, but during our 5-Year Anniversary Event , you can take part in everything the game has to offer while earning brand-new rewards for doing so. Don’t forget, there’s also cake! How will you be celebrating this incredible milestone? Let us know on Twitter @TESOnline, Instagram, and Facebook!

The Elder Scrolls is 25 years old, and you can celebrate this amazing milestone with us by unleashing Dragons upon Elsweyr, picking up ESO on sale, or even joining our Free Play Event!



It has been 25 years since The Elder Scrolls: Arena’s release in 1994, and we are thrilled to be part of this incredible milestone with The Elder Scrolls Online. To celebrate this amazing anniversary, you can begin your journey to the Khajiiti homeland with the Elsweyr Prologue, enjoy sales on the ESO base game and Summerset Chapter, and try the game out free, no strings attached, during our Free Play Event. Check out all the details below!

In the Wrathstone DLC game pack, you began your Season of the Dragon adventure by delving into two challenging dungeons and collecting both halves of the mysterious Wrathstone tablet. With the Elsweyr Prologue, going live later today, you can discover the true purpose of the Wrathstone, and, as shown in our Elsweyr Cinematic Trailer, unleash Dragons upon the unsuspecting Khajiit of Elsweyr.


Explore the Halls of Colossus in the Elsweyr Prologue

The Prologue is part of The Elder Scrolls Online base game, meaning you don’t need the Wrathstone DLC or a The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr pre-purchase to experience this part of the story.

You can begin this new adventure in two ways:

• Get the FREE Crown Store Quest Starter item, the Sealed Imperial Summons, and use it from your inventory.
• You can find this within the Quest Starter category.
• Venture to the first major city of your alliance and look for the Imperial messenger, Anais Davaux, near the Impresario’s tent.
• Aldmeri players can find her outside the northern gates of Vulkhel Guard.
• Daggerfall players can find her on approach to Daggerfall City from the east.
• Ebonheart players can find her at Davon’s Watch near the east gate.

Completing the Prologue quests grants you the Dragon Flight Illusion Gem memento reward, allowing you to summon a spectral group of mini-dragons!

If you wish to continue aiding the Khajiiti effort against the Dragons, you may undertake daily quests from Zahiri, who sets up camp near Abnur Tharn's camp at the Grahtwood entrance to Elsweyr. You may do every quest she offers once per day, and each rewards you with a cache of treasures from the Northern Elsweyr Defense Force. These caches can include Runebox fragments for the Guar Stomp emote!


Summon spectral dragons!

Starting this Thursday, March 28, and running until Wednesday, April 3, you can play The Elder Scrolls Online free on all platforms.

Because the Free Play Event includes access to the base game, this means that as a free play player, you can check out the Elsweyr Prologue Quest and begin the adventure that eventually takes you to the home of the Khajiit in The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr (now available for pre-purchase)!

In addition to access to the ESO base game, the Free Play Event also allows you to visit the Morrowind zone, giving you the opportunity to explore Tamriel and the island home of the Dark Elves.


Travel to the home of the Dark Elves

Once the event starts, visit our Free Play page to select your platform and enter Tamriel. Note that a PlayStation®Plus membership is required to participate on PlayStation®4, and an Xbox Live Gold membership is required for Xbox One.

In addition to the Free Play Event and Prologue Quest, later today, we’ve also putting The Elder Scrolls Online base game and The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset on sale for all platforms. Visit our Buy Now page or your preferred retailer for details (sales should go live as the day continues). Note that the sale ends at a different time depending on the product:

• The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is on sale until April 2
• The Elder Scrolls Online Standard Edition (the base game) is on sale until April 9

We’re thrilled to take part in this amazing milestone for The Elder Scrolls and continue to bring new and exciting adventures to Tamriel. If you’ve never had the chance to check out ESO for yourself, thanks to this Free Play Event and sale, there’s never been a better time to visit Tamriel’s 2nd Era and explore a world without limits.

Don’t forget, you can continue the adventure you start with the Elsweyr Prologue Quest by pre-purchasing The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr, coming June 4. The Season of the Dragon is just heating up!

Celebrate the absurd during the next Jester’s Festival event and reap ridiculous rewards, including new collectibles, bonus XP, and more! Find out everything you need to know right here. There’s pie!



The Jester's Festival kicks off on Thursday, March 21, at 10:00AM EDT and will run until Tuesday, April 2, at 10:00AM EDT. If you’d like to take part in this frivolous event, travel to the pavilions located outside the cities of Ebonheart, Vulkhel Guard, and Daggerfall. Once you find a pavilion, talk to one of the three Jesters convincingly dressed as Jorunn the Skald-King, Queen Ayrenn, or High King Emeric to get started.

Complete the intro quest titled “The Jester's Festival" to acquire the delicacy known as the Pie of Misrule. (If you completed the quest last year, you won't need to do so again.) When you use this mouthwatering Memento during the event, you'll receive a two-hour 100% XP buff. You can continue to enjoy the pie once the event is over, but you will no longer receive the bonus.


Save Princess from a perniciously porky fate!

Throughout the event, your characters can receive a daily quest from a Jester at each of the three different locations, allowing them to complete three preposterous quests per day.

When you complete a Jester’s daily quest, you’ll receive a Jester’s Festival Reward Box, containing fun consumables, recipes, valuable items, and furnishings. The first time you complete the daily quest for each Jester each day (regardless of character), you’ll receive a Jester’s Festival Stupendous Box instead!

This Jester’s Festival Stupendous Box has a chance to contain unique rewards, including:

• Cadwell’s Kitchen Arms Style Pages
• Arm yourself with the weapons of the rag-tag knight himself!
• Parts of New Mementos!
• Collect the different parts for two new Mementos: the Festive Noise Maker or Jester’s Festival Joke Popper.
• Jokey Stealies
• Valuable-but-silly items you can sell to vendors for gold.
• Runeboxes
• Tradeable runeboxes containing last year’s Mementos: the Jester’s Scintillator and Cherry Blossom Branch.

If you’ve earned all three Stupendous Reward Boxes in a day and you decide to do the quests again with a different character, you’ll receive the regular Jester’s Festival Reward Box. You can keep earning three regular Jester’s Festival Reward Boxes with your different characters throughout the day, with both the Stupendous Reward Boxes and the regular Reward Boxes resetting daily at 2:00AM EDT.

Finally, Jester Festival Reward Boxes will always contain one last reward: the Jester’s Festival Pie.

Although the pies you receive from Reward Boxes certainly look delicious, in the right hands, they’re one of Tamriel’s most-feared projectiles!

By adding these tasty missiles to your Quickbar, they become instruments of maniacal merriment, allowing you to throw them at any of Tamriel’s inhabitants, including NPCs, guards, or even your fellow players. Spare none your sticky, delicious wrath! Warning: Some targets, such as city guards, might object to your revelry.


“Take that! And that! EAT IT!”

Of course, while covering your friends, enemies, and hapless bystanders in dessert is its own reward, we’ve also added a host of new pie-related Achievements to this year’s event:

• The Three Fillings War – Throw 10 Pies at players that are in a different Alliance
• The Upper Crust – Throw a pie at each of the Alliance Leaders
• More Than You Can Chew – Throw 10 Pies at Guards
• Dessert Domination – Complete the above Achievements
• Messy Business – Kill 10 players while they are covered in pie in Cyrodiil

With these Achievements come special rewards. By completing the Messy Business and The Upper Crust Achievements, you’ll earn the “Empieror” and “Tin Soldier” titles respectively. Finally, by acquiring Dessert Domination, you’ll receive the Obnoxious Mute Face Paint collectible!

The Achievements from previous events will still be available this year for everybody, too, including the Lord or Lady of Misrule Achievement, rewarding you with a title and hat, and the Royal Jester Achievement, rewarding you with a title and unlocking the ability to acquire unique furnishings. Check your in-game Journal for everything.

As you take part in the Jester’s Festival, you’ll earn two Event Tickets the first time you complete a Jester’s daily quest each day, with a total of 24 tickets available to be earned by the event’s end.

During the event, you can buy Indrik Feathers, Dawnwood Berries of Bloom, Dawnwood Berries of Budding, Dawnwood Berries of Growth, and the new Dawnwood Berries of Ripeness from the Impresario merchant. This is the final berry you’ll need to evolve your existing Nascent Indrik into the Dawnwood Indrik! To summon your new, fancy Indrik, simply have all four berries in your inventory and use one of them.


The even-more majestic Dawnwood Indrik

When spending Event Tickets, please double-check the name of the berries you’re about to purchase. You need only one of each to evolve your Indrik. Please also note that this is your last chance to acquire all the berries required to make this specific evolution. Once this event ends, the Impresario will no longer stock these berries – don’t miss out!

If you’ve earned more than enough Event Tickets this quarter, you can also acquire the Springtide Indrik pet for 10 Event Tickets – the first pet Indrik available in game! In addition, you can acquire any of Cadwell’s Kitchen Arms Style pages for five Event Tickets each, giving you an alternate way to earn them other than the Stupendous Boxes (or simply snatch up any you are missing). You’ll find both of these new types of items for sale from the Impresario.



With the Jester’s Festival event, we’re bringing back a host of fan-favorite items including the Madcap Jester Monkey and Jester Personality in addition to adding new items such as the Pebble Pal (yes, it’s a pet rock), Cadwell’s Kitchen Style pack, and a selection of novelty stick mounts.


The Novelty Stick Horse mount & Pebble Pal Pet

Additionally, during this event, we’re adding Event Tickets to the in-game Crown Store. You can find them in the Events category. Check out this month’s Crown Store Showcase for more information on when all of these fantastic items will be available.

Enjoy bonuses to XP, acquire Event Tickets, earn exclusive rewards, AND cover your enemies (and friends) in delicious, sticky pie—what’s not to love this Jester’s Festival? Are you planning to join in on the raucous revelries this year? Head on over to Twitter @TESOnline, Instagram, and Facebook and tell us how you’ll be celebrating!

This Jester's Festival kicks off on Thursday, March 21, at 10:00AM EDT and will run until Tuesday, April 2, at 10:00AM EDT. Have fun!
