timeline delays, but what about hybridization finish?

Ketryellowynne · August 1

I've seen a lot of talk from the devs about how the timeline for a lot of upcoming features is being postponed. Given the situation with the studio and layoffs, I completely understand, and would rather have something take longer and be good than faster and half baked, but what I haven't seen in these adjusted timelines is a timeline for the completion of hybridization, particularly the potion rework.

As a certified alchemy nerd in multiple elder scrolls games, this is an update I'm really looking forward to, and want to be able to discover new potions and taste ingredients all over again and find interesting uses for them, but with the delays, I've not actually *seen* any dates for this particular rework. Does that mean it's included in U51 still? or is this something that's going to be pushed back as well?

Guess we’ll really need to see the update on Monday to find out. I hope so since it seemed like the actual plan they laid out for fixing a few things here and there was pretty sound but curious myself just the same. Glad someone said it.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2026

While those specific features are shifting, the rest of our 2026 roadmap remains packed. Here is what you can expect from our upcoming Seasons.

Season One

Update 51 will now launch one week later, on September 28, and it will include:

A new challenge: The Nowhere Vault 
A new game system: Rumors 
Player experience improvements: Achievement pinning, Customizable HUD (on keyboard platforms), Hybridization, Antiquities improvements, Transmute Stations in Cyrodiil, and multiple quality-of-life updates like Housing Tab Sorter, Quest Starter Language, and Eidetic Memory improvements 

Whether that will actually be all of it, I guess we'll have to see.
