Against the odds,The Elder Scrolls Onlineremains one of the most popular MMORPGs on the market.

However, ZeniMax Online Studios has remained committed to improving the game, with major DLC releasing every year since launch. This has transformedThe Elder ScrollsOnlineinto one of the best titles in the MMO space. At the end of 2024, the developer confirmed anew seasonal system change for newElder Scrolls Onlinecontent in 2025, which would see more frequent updates for players going forward.

The first is Exiled Redoubt, where players must “Join Lucilla in infiltrating the stronghold of the once-proud House Albus and discover a plot that threatens to condemn the people of Cyrodiil to endless war.” The second is Lep Seclusa, where “You and your allies must defend the Moth Priests and their precious relic from the sinister Orpheon the Tactician and his army of deserters.” These newElder Scrolls Onlinedungeons"feature their own unique storylines, characters, challenges (including unique boss battles), and secrets," with exclusive rewards for completing them.
