The Elder Scrolls Online

The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by ZeniMax Online Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It was released for Microsoft Windows and OS X in April 2014, with versions for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One, and Stadia that were released later.

Set in the continent of Tamriel, which is known from the other games in The Elder Scrolls series, the game offers a non-linear gameplay with a mix of quests, random events, and free-roaming exploration of the world. ESO does not require players to pay a subscription (after the initial purchase of the game) though it does provide the option of a monthly payment for premium features.

“The Elder Scrolls Online” is set around 1,000 years before the events of “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” and the coming of the Dragonborn, and just before the rise of Tiber Septim, the first Emperor of Tamriel.

The game has received several significant expansions, known as “Chapters,” which introduce new areas of the map, quests, and features. Some of these include “Morrowind” (2017), “Summerset” (2018), “Elsweyr” (2019), “Greymoor” (2020), and “Blackwood” (2021). Each chapter adds to the lore and story of the game and gives players new and exciting content to explore.
