ZeniMax Online Studios has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls Online will kick off its next major update cycle with the arrival of Season One on July 8, 2026. Starting at 1PM ET, players can begin progressing through the latest Tamriel Tome, which features a fresh set of challenges and rewards available through October 21 at 10AM ET.
- Season Start: July 8, 2026, at 1PM ET
- Season End: October 21, 2026, at 10AM ET
- Platforms: PC, macOS
- New Features: PvE-focused challenges and updated reward tracks
Free Rewards and PvE Challenges
Season One introduces a broader variety of challenges compared to Season Zero, with a specific focus on PvE activities—particularly those that might land players on the wrong side of the law. All players can unlock the free track of the Tome without spending any money.
The free rewards include a significant cache of items, specifically:
- 8,000 Seals
- 9,000 Trade Bars
- 12 Crown Crates
- Golden Dwarven Spider pet
- Chevalier’s Honor face and body markings
- Charming Rogue weapon style set
- Blade Cloak, Gold Arrow skill style
Premium Tome Options
For those looking for extra content, the Premium Tamriel Tome is available for in-game purchase. This tier includes all free rewards plus 1,500 additional Trade Bars and unique collectibles, such as the Hew’s Bane Hyena mount and the Charming Rogue armor style set. Most notably, it includes Cambio Zammes, an assistant who functions as a fence and launderer without charging a fee.
A third option, the Premium + Bonuses Tome, offers everything in the standard Premium track plus two Caches of Tome Points—each containing 2,000 points—and the Dawngold Corgi pet. These Tome Points are essential for both unlocking new pages and claiming rewards, providing a shortcut for players looking to progress faster.
As the clock ticks down to July 8, players are encouraged to wrap up their progress in the current Season Zero Tome, as it will be retired once the new season begins. For more information on how the system works, the official Tamriel Tomes guide remains the primary resource for players adjusting to the updated challenge structure.
