The upcoming Feast of Shadows Dungeon Pack continues the narrative from Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1, expanding the story through two challenging new four-player dungeons. Alongside these dungeons, ESO Update 47 also brings several highly requested quality-of-life changes to the game. 

The Feast of Shadows Dungeon Pack and ESO Update 47 are set to release on August 18 for PC/Mac and September 3 for consoles.  

Feast of Shadows brings two new dungeons to ESO

The new Feast of Shadows Dungeon Pack is part of the 2025 Content Pass and 2025 Premium Edition. You can also gain access to the new dungeons with an ESO Plus Membership or by purchasing the pack with Crowns from the Crown Store.  

  • Black Gem Foundry: Atronachs summoned from far planes of Oblivion power a pulsing forge at the heart of Coldharbour. Help Dalenor the Summoner destroy Soulbinder Vykand's twisted fabrications before they make it to the hands of the Worm Cult.
  • Naj-Caldeesh Talen-Lah and his band of necromancers run amok in the legendary lost Xanmeer of Naj-Caldeesh. Stop them before their dark magic corrupts and destroys the ancient site.

Feast of Shadows Dungeon Item Sets

In addition to new collectibles, the Feast of Shadows dungeons will introduce eight brand-new item sets for you to acquire  .

Two new houses in Update 47

ESO housing enthusiasts, rejoice! Update 47 introduces two new homes:  

Hidden Spring Cottage

This charming medium home is located in the Gold Coast zone. Hidden Spring Cottage will be available for purchase in the ESO Crown Store sometime after Update 47 officially launches.  

Wildgrown Chapel of Julianos

A magnificent notable home found in the West Weald zone, the Wildgrown Chapel of Julianos is the highly anticipated final morphing collectible reward for the year.

Update 47 Base-Game Improvements

Mount Swimming in ESO!

A truly long-awaited ESO feature, players will finally be able to remain mounted while traversing water. This eliminates frustrating dismounts, offering a smoother and less interrupted Elder Scrolls Online exploration experience. Swimming mounts in ESO are finally here!

Stackable Survey Reports

Similar to the stackable crafting writs introduced in Update 46, this change will allow survey reports to stack in your inventory (1 stack per profession). This seemingly small but significant improvement will free up valuable inventory space, a welcome change for diligent gatherers.

Infinite Archive Vision Re-Roll

Update 47 introduces the highly requested ability to re-roll Visions in the Infinite Archive. While it will cost an increasing amount of Archival Fortunes, that amount will reset, offering players more strategic control over their Infinite Archive runs.   

Replayable Quest Dialogue

For those who enjoy revisiting ESO story elements or missed details, the ability to replay ESO quest dialogue is a fantastic addition, enhancing the narrative experience.  

ESO Update 47 PTS

ESO Update 47 hits the Public Test Server (PTS) on Tuesday, July 8th. That means we'll soon get to test the swimming mounts and uncover all the other cool new features and quality-of-life improvements that haven't been announced!  

Writhing Wall Event on PTS

While the large-scale Writhing Wall event isn't active until October 2025 (as part of the Q4 2025 release), players can get an early sneak peek! The first two phases of this exciting community-driven content will be testable on the ESO Public Test Server when Update 47 launches there on Tuesday, July 8th.  

If you have any feedback or questions you can always reach us in our ESO Community Discord.
