The developers of Elder Scrolls Online have revealed that the world event surrounding the “winding wall” will start in October. MeinMMO summarizes what is known.
What is known about the event? According to a post from the developers on X, the world event in The Elder Scrolls Online is set to start on October 13, 2025. The promise: “A unique event in history that will forever change Tamriel.”
Initial information about the special event was available during the announcement of the currently ongoing Worm Cult seasons. It mentioned a server-wide, world-changing event where the community must work together over several phases to tear down an insurmountable wall that divides the island of Sun’s Dawn into two parts.
Upon completion of the event, the occurrences that will initiate the finale of the current season will take place. The seasonal conclusion will then lead you in the 4th quarter to the part of the island that will be accessible through the event, where new quests, stories, and more await you.

Everyone must work together
What does the event remind me of? There has never been such a large, server-wide event in Elder Scrolls Online. But perhaps you’ve played Vanilla WoW or one of the Classic versions and participated in the opening event of Ahn’Qiraj?!
In the discussion at gamescom, the developers told us that the famous event from WoW was indeed one of the sources of inspiration:
Sure – we draw inspiration from everywhere. I experienced the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj as a player, and that is still one of my top memories of WoW. Other games have done similar things, and we look at what has been successful to build on that and create something special.
Similar to the opening of the gates on the WoW servers, it will also be exciting to observe how well the communities of different servers will collaborate during the upcoming ESO event and which region will be the first to breach the wall.
In the interview at gamescom, the developers also revealed what challenges they currently see for the MMORPG genre and in the future and what needs to be done to successfully establish an online role-playing game: The heads of Elder Scrolls Online reveal the success formula for MMORPGs that want to captivate in the future
