"For the first time in ESO's history," the MMO is moving past the events of the base game with Seasons of the Worm Cult: "We've never really moved time forward"

Elder Scrolls Online Seasons of the Worm Cult.

For the very first time, new Elder Scrolls Online updates are moving the MMO's timeline beyond the events of the base game.

Starting in 2025, Zenimax Online ditched ESO's long-running update structure of dropping one massive annual expansion in the middle of themed years, adopting a seasonal release cadence in its place. Well, the first major update of the Seasons of the Worm Cult saga is out now on PC, and it's the first update in ESO history to put a lid on the story told in the base game.
