Annual expansions for The Elder Scrolls Online are coming to an end
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The Elder Scrolls Online has been developing for 10 years. ZeniMax Online is rethinking its approach to working on the game.
The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online has been on the market for 10 years. During this time, a massive amount of diverse content has been released for the game.
ZeniMax Online has decided to change its approach to the further development of The Elder Scrolls Online: starting in 2025, they plan to shift from a model featuring annual large-scale expansions (“Chapters”) to a seasonal model with smaller updates.
A season in The Elder Scrolls Online is expected to last 3–6 months — players will be offered a variety of content (storylines, events, dungeons, etc.).
The developers explained that this update format will help relieve pressure on The Elder Scrolls Online team caused by tight deadlines for releasing such massive updates: “[release time constraints] didn't leave us much room to experiment or rethink how to do things differently.”
The creators of The Elder Scrolls Online also plan to improve Cyrodiil's performance, combat, the guild system, and more.
