Welcome back to Tamriel, or welcome to a complete history of how The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) has evolved since its launch in 2014.
If you are a returning player, you may be surprised by how much has changed. Over the years, ESO has received major updates to:
- Combat and class balance
- User interface and overall layout
- Quality of Life (QoL) systems
- Subscription benefits and the in-game Crown Store
- New platforms, including console support
- And many core gameplay systems that were redesigned or replaced
In short: modern ESO plays very differently from early ESO.
This Coming Back Guide to ESO breaks down every major update into separate chapters, so you can quickly see what changed, when it changed, and how it affects gameplay today. The table of contents highlights the updates that had the biggest impact on the game, whether through system overhauls, new features or large-scale expansions.
Whether you are planning to jump back into ESO or simply want to understand how the game developed over the years, this guide gives you a clear, structured overview of everything that shaped the game into what it is today.
Enjoy your return to Tamriel, and welcome back to ESO!
