ESO Live 2025 - Updates here!

AzuraFan · April 10

- no more annual chapters (already announced in Firor's letter)
- will continue to address longstanding feedback (some to be announced later in the livestream)
- recapped what they've done so far - vengeance campaign test, one tutorial, refresh of starter zones. Will continue with this - in Cyrodiil, want to get back to large-scale battles with good performance

New Story Content:

Seasons of the Worm Cult - sequel to the 2014 base game storyline

AzuraFan · April 10

In 2025, will travel to new island - Solstice. Worm Cult is taking its revenge.

AzuraFan · April 10

Content will be delivered on a seasonal cadence - throughout the year, there will be a mix of story content, dungeons, and in--games events.

Story starts in June.

Solstice has Caribbean vibe. Main city is Sunport. Mainly elves and argonians.

AzuraFan · April 10

Visuals on the island look fantastic!

Some Nord stuff.

Magical carnival.

Old Daedric ruins.

Worm cult has a base on the island - harvesting souls from people on the island.

Allies from over the last 10 years in the stories will return - Raz, Skordo, Gabrielle, Vanus Galerion, and more. Also Prinze Azah.

AzuraFan · April 10

New monsters: Argonian Behemoths, stone argonians, new types of Daedra.

Update 46 - releasing a new 12-person trial called Ossein Cage, a vault in Coldharbour.

AzuraFan · April 10

Subclassing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coming in June.

AzuraFan · April 10

Subclassing - more freedom on how to build a characters.

Will be able to use skill lines from other classes.

At level 50, can use other skill lines.

AzuraFan · April 10

Results in over 3000 possible combinations.

For example, an elementalist taking some from sorcerer, some from DK.

Another goal: have an army of critters (sounds like fun!!)

All skills and progression will be account-wide.

Stay tuned for more details.

AzuraFan · April 10

Later in the summer:

There is a wall dividing Solstice in two. Constructed of raw souls.

There will be a server-wide event to participate in a story event in real-time.

Goal will ultimately be to take down the wall.

AzuraFan · April 10

Will gain access to the eastern side of Solstice.

The second half of the Worm Cult saga will arrive in Q4.

The content pass - will bundle everything released in the year.

AzuraFan · April 10

Seasons of the worm cult prologue quest is available now.

Future seasons could be year-long or only 3-6 months.

ArchMikem · April 10

ZOS finally joined the Season Pass bandwagon. I saw a lot of pushback on that in the Twitch chat.

But other than that I think this Livestream hit HARD with most people. Especially Subclassing.

AzuraFan · April 10

First part of reveal is over - a really slick presentation!

The ZOS team sounds really excited about what's coming.

Claim the pet: Code is 2025ESODirect.

For some reason my game states that the code has already been redeemed. I checked my collection and it definetly has not been redeemed on my account...

GatheredMyst · April 10

While the event to unlock the second zone certainly seems unique, and Subclassing is astonishingly cool, there wasn't really much of a mention of some of the much anticipated changes/features coming as part of the letter from Matt earlier this year.

Hopefully the post show addresses that?

AzuraFan · April 10

Gina and Jessica: Plenty of time to redeem the code. Plenty of monkeys to go around.

Stx · April 10

Basically all I got from this announcement was the new island, new worm cult story, and subclassing. Lots of recapping and vague buzzwords prior to that, but at least they ended with some spicy cooking. Looking forward to more details on subclassing and also the wall thing.

Same thing on my end, claims "Code may have already be redeemed."

Also just to note, the Pre-Purchase for the Season Pass is $49.99USD right now.

AzuraFan · April 10

Dithieon · April 10

Do ESO+ folks get any deals on the season?

Dithieon · April 10

That code doesn't work😵‍💫

AzuraFan · April 10

Early rewards for pre-purchasing available until May 7 - customized action, a mount, and something I missed. So if you buy the content pass before May 7, you get these bonuses.

Content pass: Standard edition (just the content pass), and a premium edition version that includes access to all previous chapters.

AzuraFan · April 10

Subclassing is a base game feature. Everyone gets it.

AzuraFan · April 10

PTS: April 14

Launch: June 2

Dates for Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1.

KurganNazzir · April 10

I can't even get to the account page to redeem the monkey code, it keeps saying service unavailable, or if I get the log in screen and log in it loops back to the log in screen or it says bad gateway. /shrug

Also, at the bottom of the picture it says limited redemptions so I'm assuming only a few can actually get the monkey.

EDIT: I see the comment about the code, now, it's under a thread about in-game redemption being disabled so I didn't see it. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/675923/in-game-code-redemptions-temporarily-disabled-april-10-2025

AzuraFan · April 10

Because everyone's trying to redeem the code right now, it's not working well. Patient, grasshopper. Wait until later or tomorrow. There are plenty of monkeys to go around.

DigiAngel · April 10

Will sub-classing be locked behind the season pass?

Dithieon · April 10

Thanks for this thread btw, AzuraFan😊

AzuraFan · April 10

If you don't have the season pass, you can participate in the Writing Wall event, but you won't be able to go into the new area that opens up when the wall comes down.
