seasonal model

The Elder Scrolls Online is launching a new seasonal model starting with Season Zero on April 2, 2026. This model consists of approximately 90-day cycles, including Season Zero, Season One, and Season Two, with all seasonal content available for free to players who own the game. Season Zero will feature the Night Market, a limited-time event zone in the Daedric realm of Fargrave, available for seven weeks, where players can align with one of three NPC factions. The season will also introduce challenge difficulty options for overland experiences and improvements to combat, including a new test for the large-scale PvP mode, Vengeance. Season One will see the return of the Thieves Guild with new gameplay elements and dynamic world events. Additionally, a new base-game trial, the Crimson Veldt, will be introduced later in the year.
