Update 5 is here, so log in now to find out what new adventures it brings to ESO. There’s a lot to love in this update—let’s dive in!

The Veteran version of City of Ash has opened, continuing the dungeon's story and presenting challenging new bosses for you and your allies to defeat. As you play through the new story, you'll notice that we've also implemented an improved facial animation system that gives the NPCs you'll meet a much more natural and realistic look.

Did you miss one of the dungeons while you were leveling? With the new dungeon scaling system, you can play through any of them at an appropriate challenge level. Dungeons and their loot now scale to your group leader's level. The same system applies to solo instances, as well.

If you love crafting, running dungeons, or both, we have another exciting addition for you: Writs and Pledges! Every day, you'll be able to undertake new Writs and Pledges, which will have you crafting to fulfill orders and delving into dungeons to defeat bosses. You’ll be rewarded for your efforts, so give these new quests a try.

That’s not all you'll find in Update 5: we’ve implemented chat bubbles, continued our improvements to Veteran Ranks, added the Dwemer crafting style, a new crafted item set, and many bug fixes and other changes. Read the full patch notes here to get every bit of Update 5 goodness!

Update 5 is available right now—log in and check out all the new excitement. We can't wait to see you in Tamriel!
