Bethesda has announced the newest update to The Elder Scrolls Online – and it's a big one.

The new update, called Elsweyr, is part of the Season of the Dragon campaign thatll be ongoing throughout the in-game universe over the next year or so. So if youre interested in jumping into the MMO version of Skyrim, theres no better time.

Dragons return to Tamriel in this new expansion to the long-running game, and its up to you to reduce the fear and the dead they spread as much as possible. To this end, you can become a Necromancer – a lord of the undead – and use new skills and abilities to prevent the dragons from tearing the fantasy world limb from limb.

Bethesdas aim with introducing this new year-long campaign is to make the title accessible for new players – as well as making it more appealing to any that have lapsed over the years. As of 2019, The Elder Scrolls Online has been going for five years and in that time many players have come and gone.

Now, though, the game is more player-friendly than ever before: if you jump in as a fresh recruit, youll be able to play with high-level players that have been in the game since the beginning. There are no arbitrary level gates, no sectioning off players content just because. You can do anything, go anywhere, right from the off.

Of course, if youre the sort of player that played Skyrim back when it came out on Xbox 360 and PS3, youre going to want to come in here for the dragons. In the world of Elder Scrolls, everyone knows dragons: big, badass, powerful.

But players coming from other Elder Scrolls games may be in for a nasty shock: youre not Dragonborn, and you cant take these new monstrosities down by yourself.

And thats bad news, because theyre everywhere. Theyre in the tutorial, theyre prowling the overground, theyre the main prey in quests. These new massively powerful enemies are dynamic – they wont spawn in the same places at the same time over and over again. In an MMO, this feels unnatural – but from what weve seen of Elsweyr so far, it really works.
