Celebration, cheeses, and delays in The Elder Scrolls Online

Due to recent layoffs in Microsoft's gaming division, Bethesda has also had to tighten its belt, so some changes to the fantasy MMO planned for this year had to be postponed to 2027. But every cloud has a silver lining: the development team is currently celebrating its 40th anniversary since its founding — gamers have the opportunity to receive gifts in connection with this date. In addition, a quest has started in TESO about how the Daedric Prince of Madness Sheogorath searches for the best cheese factories in Tamriel and shares his values with heroes.

Until August 13, the standard version of the game is available at a 75% discount, and the Deluxe Edition has been discounted by exactly half. In addition, everyone who enters the code "Bethesda40" in the Crown Store will receive prizes in the form of 2000 trade bars to purchase whatever you need. Nevertheless, after a series of organizational changes, the development team has thinned out, which has led to some game improvements having to be postponed to 2027. The delays affected the Crimson Veldt trial, patch 52 with a PvP zone and dynamic skirmishes, as well as the promised class rebalance. This year, fans can expect update 51, scheduled for release on September 28, the The Nowhere Vault trial, the presentation of the Rumors system, and the "Whitestrake's Madness" event — it starts as early as the 5th of this month.

Right now, heroes can take part in the "Sheogorath Takes a Vacation" activity. According to the plot, one of the mighty daedra decided to live the life of a simple mortal and at the same time find out where the best cheese in Tamriel is made. To help the prince in this difficult task and complete all his assignments, you must first visit the Crown Store and pick up the corresponding quest there, or find Mad Note on the map. As a reward for success, you'll be able to get a pet and an emote, as well as gold and costume elements.
