Much in the same way that I started this year by telling my loved ones I would cut down my portion sizes in 2026 to attend to my ageing body, Zenimax Online Studios began the year by saying they would be releasing smaller updates for Elder Scrolls Online to refresh the MMO’s creakier content.
Both Edler Scrolls Online and I shall end 2026 leaner and able to climb stairs without our knees popping.
But, in announcing its move from Expansion-sized chapters released every 12 – 18 months to smaller Season updates released every three months, it wasn’t clear what this meant for new zones. Would the world of Tamriel stay locked at its current size, with additional areas being too large a thing to add in a Season update?
