In Elder Scrolls Online, the developers have now released the final major update for 2025. However, when you will be able to play it depends on your fellow players.
What kind of update is this? Elder Scrolls Online released the new update “Seasons of the Worm Cult – Part 2” on October 27, 2025. With this major update, the Content Pass 2025 comes to an end, which has provided the MMORPG with new content this year.
In the new area, the Eastern Sun’s Wane, you can expect new dangers such as new dungeons and bosses. There are also new quests that can be completed independently of the main storyline in the game. The only requirement is that you have completed the main quests of Seasons of the Worm Cult – Part 1 as well as the quest “The Crossing of the Wall.”
In addition to the new adventure, the developers have also made many improvements to the actual game and worked on balancing. But before you can start the new expansion, you must first work.
Here you can watch a trailer for the expansion:
It can only begin together
Why can’t you start directly? To access the new area of the Eastern Sun’s Wane, an event must first be completed on each server. In three phases, you must work together with other players on your server to achieve goals to break through the wall that separates the area.
Only after the wall has been breached after phase 3 will the new area open up, and you can begin with the expansion. You can view your server’s progress on a page created specifically for the event at ElderScrollsOnline.com.
What needs to be done? In the first phase, which is still running on some servers, you need to gather supplies, complete quests, and defeat cultists and Daedra. The goal is to organize the defense against the Worm Cult.
In the second phase, you will directly confront the Worm Cult. You will need to complete daily quests as well as defend the siege posts. There are also bosses in the open world to defeat.
In the third and final phase, you must storm the wall that separates the Eastern Sun’s Wane. Here, there is a new limited-time instance that opens exclusively for this event. If you succeed, you will unlock the new area after the phase.
How is the progress? Currently, all servers are either at the end of phase 1 or at the very beginning of phase 2. How long it will take until you can truly dive into the new story is unclear and depends on the players themselves.
Instead of simply unlocking an event, setting up an interesting concept for Elder Scrolls Online is a great idea. This way, players must earn their new expansion. Even if ultimately all players receive the new content, this is still a creative approach.
