But, if you put your hasty judgements and preconceptions aside, it seems that Zenimax Online has done a stellar job with this new and different entry into the series. After having spent two hours playing through the closed beta PC build at this year’s Gamescom, I’ve been left itching to jump right back in."
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.
Get an in-depth view of the future of ESO with the 2026 Seasons Direct, followed by two developer and community member roundtables. Join the team at ZeniMax Online Studios as they share the many ways ESO is evolving with new adventures, stories, challenges, and systems, plus get your first look at each Season arriving in 2026. A new age for The Elder Scrolls Online is about to begin!
I'm sure people will buy it..but idk about that $15 a month.
I'm not sure how the sub model works on consoles, but personally, I'm a fan of subscription model. It ensures frequent, high quality content patches and blocks out pay to win mechanics.
The game itself looks pretty solid for anyone who likes MMOs or TES
I'm sure it'll be interesting for 2 weeks, before it becomes obvious that it's the same(or worse) as every other sword and sorcery MMO, but with even more bugs courtesy of Bethesda(also known as Bugthesda).
They'll go F2P, which will help for a few months, but then Bethsoft will abandon it like they have all their other games, and it'll shrivel up and die when the players flock back to WoW, Guild Wars 2 and DCUO etc.
Remove $15/mo and microtranscation $hit, I'll buy this game day 1
B2P is so much more appealing these days.
