Solstice OST, and further OST releases in the wake of the shift to Seasons instead of Chapters?

IldaraFathryon · February 25

One of the things I anticipate most when ESO heads to a new zone is what musical delights Brad Derrick and his team will bless us with, but the move to seasonal content leaves me with some questions on the subject.

Firstly; Solstice has an absolutely gorgeous soundtrack, and so does every zone prior, but we are unfortunately still without an official OST release for Murkmire, The Reach, Fargrave, Galen, and Solstice itself for example - is there a plan for a "Music of Tamriel: Volume 3" consolidating the unreleased musical content to date, or perhaps a dedicated Seasons of the Worm Cult soundtrack?

Secondly; with base game zones receiving new quest content (e.g. the upcoming Thieves Guild/Sheogorath content), are we likely to see fewer additions to the game's overall OST?

i hope all the soundtracks release too.

The new quests are supposed to add things to old zones, that could include new music too.
The new Sheogorath quests could include a Shivering isle quest area with new music like Evergloam in Clockwork City and Summerset quests,
Solstice's Vale of Revelry delve seems to have unique music too (Sanguine's realm).

Hopefully we still get plenty of new music every year, even if we do not get a new zone annually.

several things in 2026 i can imagine having new music:
- Sheo and Thieves Guild quests, new areas in old zones and maybe it could include new bards.
- Crimson Veldt trial, maybe it is someplace we have never been before.
- Dynamic world events, Mirrormoor incursions have unique music too so maybe.

This was the last thing asked Jessica before I took a year hiatus due to no new zones and no dungeons.

She asked the audio team and there are currently no plans in releasing a Solstice soundtrack.
But she also said that because it is not in the plans now, it could still be in the future.

Proof

I assume at some point when they have enough music from all the seasonal stuff, they will release a Volume 3. I still I think it is a shame the last real chapter didn't get a soundtrack release or a special login theme like all the chapters that came before. It seems the costs savings started back then.

I'm still waiting for Murkmire and Markarth OSTs to be released...

This is really important to me because one of my favorite things to listen to while sketching are the ESO soundtracks and I have every single one of them. I would be very sad if we did not get future soundtrack releases. They could even go back to the "Music of Tamriel" assortments they already did for non-chapter releases in the past.

Also as was mentioned, please also release existing unreleased tracks such as Murkmire, Markarth, etc. I'm sure there is already enough in volume to make a "Music of Tamriel, Volume 3" with those alone.

I wouldn't mind new OST and I hope so they will provide more of them ^^

Maybe if enough of us ask nicely, it will be put into future plans 🙏

They do have beautiful music and I would love to see them expand it more in the game, even if it isn't or cant be released on soundtrack. Or perhaps add more tracks to the already existing places

It wouldn't be the first time either; Auridon had a couple extra tracks added just before Summerset's release.
