'The Elder Scrolls Online' Rolls Out Update 40 And Endless Archive PvE Challenge - Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 31, 2023 @ 1:11 a.m. PDT

The Elder Scrolls Online is the first Elder Scrolls game to allow gamers to explore the legendary Elder Scrolls world with others.

Explore a rich, living world with friends or embark upon a solo adventure. Enjoy complete control over how your character looks and plays, from the weapons you wield to the skills you learn – the choices you make will shape your destiny. Welcome to a world without limits.

Battle, craft, steal, siege, or explore, and combine different types of armor, weapons, and abilities to create your own style of play. The choice is yours to make in a persistent, ever-growing Elder Scrolls world.

Discover the secrets of Tamriel as you set off to regain your lost soul and save the world from Oblivion. Experience any story in any part of the world, in whichever order you choose – with others or alone.

Using ZeniMax Online’s Megaserver technology, players will join one connected world with a built in social network that lets them stay up-to-date with everything their friends are doing.

Megaserver technology avoids the hassle of shard selection and makes The Elder Scrolls Online one of the most socially enabled games ever created.  Whether playing alone, or with hundreds of friends, players can develop their own style of play as they embark upon an epic quest across Tamriel.

The Elder Scrolls Online Update 40 base-game patch is now available on PC/Mac. This free update introduces an all-new PvE challenge, the Endless Archive, as well as a host of new features and additions to The Elder Scrolls Online.

The Endless Archive is an all-new PvE challenge featuring a unique never-ending dungeon-like activity that is free for all ESO players. Players battle their way through dynamic and randomly generated stages filled with monsters and boss encounters. Players can choose to go at it solo or team up with a fellow player or Companion to complete four Cycles (each made up of three Stages and a boss battle) with a final and fifth boss battle to complete an Arc. The challenge doesn’t end there as players can traverse deeper into more Stages, Cycles, and Arcs, with the difficulty gradually increasing as they advance. As players progress, they will unlock a host of unique rewards not found in any other activity in the game. This includes a broad selection of collectibles, including a mount, pet, cosmetics, and all-new Class sets.  

Update 40 also features many updates including a new Group Finder which allows players to create parties for any of ESO’s in-game activities.

This new tool also offers more customization for the criteria that group members must meet, including these examples: 

  • Player CP levels 
  • Whether they use in-game voice chat 
  • Their playstyle
  • A desired group role composition 

Also, this update introduces Grand Master Crafting Stations, letting players merge all their home’s attuned crafting stations for a crafting skill line into one furnishing. Along with an assortment of other updates including a rebalance of Jewelry Crafting and Quest XP & Gold Standardization

Update 40 and the Endless Archive will arrive on Xbox and PlayStation consoles November 14.

The Elder Scrolls Online is currently available for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC
