The heroes of The Elder Scrolls Online are already celebrating
Online game creators are vying with each other to offer fans various activities timed for the New Year and Christmas. Only in fantasy worlds are these holidays called differently. In TESO, for example, such an event — «New Life Festival». During it, characters not only receive a boost to experience and resource accumulation, but also the opportunity to complete special quests, earn tickets and exchange them for useful items. It is already known that the New Year's activities in the game will last until January 6 — we will tell you about them in detail.
How to best celebrate the New Year in The Elder Scrolls Online?
Bethesda staff, as usual, are not staying away from significant calendar events. For the final days of the year, a 100% increase to earned experience is promised just for logging into your account — without performing additional actions. But even more rewards await those who start completing the mission chain of the «New Life Festival». To do this, it is enough to go to the Crown Store and take the starter quest, and also receive a commemorative souvenir in the form of Breda's honey mug. The same quest will also be given personally by Breda if you talk to the character near his tent in Eastmarch.
Anik Novius also became a participant of the festival, issuing heroes a series of eight missions. For each completed assignment, you can acquire cases: among their contents, you will find materials for alchemy, equipment sets, juggling knives, toys, pages from magic books, recipes, and furniture to decorate your estate. There is a chance to also get into the Fish Gift feast in Black Marsh. And also, active completion of quests brings festival tickets. Each character gets 60 such tickets, but you can only have 12 at one time. They can be exchanged for something useful at the Impresario's shop.
Finally, game director Nick Giacomini summed up the results of 2025 in an open letter to TESO fans. He acknowledged the mistakes made in preparing the Writhing Wall event as part of the «Cult of the Worm» expansion, and also promised to make the development process more transparent for the public. Let us remind you, on January 7, 2026, a broadcast is scheduled where Bethesda staff will voice their plans for the year ahead.
