The Elder Scrolls Online is once again a major topic on Bethesda’s gamescom 2021 program. On August 29, the game developer dedicates a full 4 hours of streaming time to the MMORPG. We will introduce you to what to expect on that day.
Just like last year, this year’s gamescom 2021 is taking place digitally. Streaming has been actively happening on the official German Twitch channel of Bethesda Softworks since August 26. However, today, August 29, at 4:00 PM, a big program awaits you focusing on the MMORPG ESO.
When does the ESO Stream start? On August 29 at 4 PM, the stream will kick off with a recap of the “The World Plays ESO” Event (short: “TWPE”). This is a two-month streaming event from June 22 to August 22, 2021. During the event, you could discover everything ESO has to offer in various streams from participants.
What topics can you expect in the ESO stream?
The program schedule with times listed:
- 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM: “World Plays ESO” – Review of a journey through The Elder Scrolls Online

What you can expect from the ESO program:
In the first hour, it will be about the TWPE event. At 5 PM, the current Update 31 Waking Flame will be discussed. In particular, it will focus on the narrative of the Gates of Oblivion, which began with the Update 29 Flames of Ambition and was continued with the chapter Blackwood.
At 6 PM, a Housing competition of the ESO Community will follow. And here you are needed, as everyone can participate. Build your own booth or your own fair, fitting to the gamescom theme.
Until the stream starts at 4 PM, you can apply with your housing creation. With a bit of luck, you might be one of the three possible winners. These will be chosen in the stream by a jury consisting of ESO players Lasuu, Fufuns, and MiezeMelli.
The winners of the housing competition can look forward to a Mehrunes Dagon Premium Bundle & Bodypillow. The premium bundle consists of a statue of Mehrunes Dagon, a Blackwood poster, and an Ambitions coin (bronze-colored).
You need to register today by 4 PM with your account and house name at Bethesda ([email protected], Subject: Gamescom Housing) or with the jury members. You can reach the jury members in various ways.
