ACE: When the announcement for Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) was made, the Internet seemed to give a collective shrug. "This has been done before," the complaints went. "I liked this when it was called World of WarCraft." It wasn't quite fear and loathing, but it wasn't precisely a warm welcome, either. At E3, we were treated to a longer non-interactive demo of the game, and from what I can tell, it's not going to be another mindless WoW clone.
Season Zero: Dawn and Dusk is now live for all platforms (including PC/Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation), kicking off a new era for The Elder Scrolls Online. This inaugural Season is live from April 2 until July 8 and lays the foundation for all future Seasons by introducing new reward systems, the first wave of player-focused improvements, class and combat redesigns, new zones and challenges, and more.
Check out some of the rewards you can unlock and acquire in ESO’s first ever Tamriel Tome, arriving April 2, 2026.
