The first Elder Scrolls Online season is upon us, but I'm already more excited for the second

Season Zero begins April 2, kicking off ESO's seasonal rollout.

Seasons run about 90 days and focus on combat, systems, and reward updates while delivering stories and exploration.

Three seasonal cycles are planned this year—Season Zero, Season One, and Season Two—and seasonal content is free to anyone who owns ESO (including via services like Game Pass).

Season Zero debuts the experimental Night Market group PvE zone in the Daedric realm of Fargrave; it will be available for seven weeks and is divided into three districts with Starlit Plaza as the central hub.

Three NPC factions—Ruckus (bruisers), Glittering Goad (runs stalls and auctions), and Thousand Eyes (an undercover group)—can be chosen during Night Market and affect rewards; Night Market may return or be made permanent if popular.
