The Elder Scrolls Online får ikke længere store årlige udvidelser

The Elder Scrolls Online har i mange år, i stil med eksempelvis World of Warcraft, fået store udvidelser såsom Greymoor og Morrowind, men det lader til at det ikke kommer til at blive tilfældet fremadrettet.

Til trods for at have haft ret stor succes med spillets nuværende indholdsmodel, så skifter holdet bag nu spor. ZeniMax Online Studios-chef Matt Firor har skrevet et åbent brev, hvor han bekræfter at spillet officielt bevæger sig væk fra større "chapters" (som han kalder dem) og over til en sæsonbaseret model.

"We have been incredibly successful with our strong annual Chapter releases: starting with Morrowind in 2017 up through Gold Road just six months ago. Zone design and quest/content is at the core of every Elder Scrolls game, as our annual Chapter release model highlighted. We will still do lots of story content, but now, looking into 2025, we need to concentrate on different types of content to support all types of ESO players. So, we are putting Chapters aside and will be focusing on new types of content, and a new release philosophy. More on that below."

Der vil stadig løbende komme nyt indhold til Elder Scrolls Online, men de her sæsoner, som vil introducere indhold hyppigere, fremstår ikke nær lige så ambitiøse som de større Chapters.

"Over the course of 2025 we will be moving more towards a seasonal content model and away from launching massive content updates once a year, as we did with Chapters. We will be talking much more about this in the future, but in 2025 expect to see named Seasons of three or six months duration with a mix of themed story content, events, store items, dungeons and more."
