Starting in 2026, ESO moved away from the traditional yearly Chapter model and adopted a Seasons structure. Each ESO Season is a three-month content cycle that runs four times per year, delivering new zones, storylines, systems and quality-of-life improvements on a rolling schedule.

The biggest difference from the old Chapter model is flexibility. ESO Seasons are designed to respond more quickly to player feedback rather than follow a fixed annual formula.
