Since 2014, The Elder Scrolls Online has continued with new content and expansions. The year 2026 could be one of the most important for the MMORPG. In a new YouTube video, MeinMMO explains whether it’s worth getting back into (or starting) the game.
What is our new YouTube video about? On MeinMMO’s YouTube channel, we regularly publish videos about MMORPGs. Recently, it was about the scandal surrounding the failed Kickstarter MMORPG Ashes of Creation.
In the latest YouTube video, we discuss The Elder Scrolls Online, particularly the year 2026 and the major changes for the MMORPG.
Find out what changes are coming your way and for whom returning or even starting again makes sense:
The Changes of The Elder Scrolls Online in 2026
What kind of game is this anyway? The Elder Scrolls Online has existed since 2014 and is an MMORPG set in the world of Tamriel, which you may know from Skyrim or Oblivion. You can also explore well-known areas from Bethesda’s single-player RPGs in the MMO.
What will happen to the game in 2026? Overall, the entry for beginners and the return of old players should become more pleasant. New methods such as a new release model, more content for solo players, or more tightly bundled content are being introduced.
You can find a detailed list of upcoming features in the YouTube video.
Who should take a look at The Elder Scrolls? 2026 could be a good year for both newcomers and veterans:
- The large and freely explorable world is interesting for solo players and newcomers, as they can dive into the story at their own pace. Additionally, Elder Scrolls fans will get to see many areas and stories from Tamriel before The Elder Scrolls 6.
- Those who have played The Elder Scrolls Online before might find it a good time to return in 2026 since content is expected to be more bundled.
- Veterans can look forward to new experiments as well as adjustments to well-known systems like combat in 2026. However, patience will probably still be required for the major issues.
