The Elder Scrolls Online is getting a new, major story chapter on 2 June 2025, inviting players to enjoy a whole new world of pain. Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 will kick off a two-part event that introduces new features to the game, while also inviting players into a complex new area defined by tense alliances, and the dominance of the titular Worm Cult.

So, what’s the story? Per ZeniMax Online Studios, Seasons of the Worm Cult is a sequel to the base ESO story that’s been ten years in the making. For those unfamiliar, the base game story introduced the Worm Cult – “irredeemable, power-mad megalomaniacs” – many years ago, and told of their eventual defeat. Now, after years away, plotting and planning, they’re back to wreak havoc on the isle of Solstice.
