Elder Scrolls Online: All Chapters & DLC In Order

Since The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO)'s release for PC and Mac in 2014, this fantasy MMO has continued to improve and evolve through game updates and post-launch content releases. These take the form of DLC Game Packs and Chapters that center around a specific story arc that players can experience on PC and console.

Over the years, we have seen seven Chapters launch, including the recently released Necrom Chapter with multiple DLCs, which we've lost track of counting. But we managed to find the records as we detail all the Chapters and DLCs released for The Elder Scrolls Online.

How Many Chapters Are There For The Elder Scrolls Online?

There are seven Chapters developer ZeniMax Online Studios has released since ESO's launch in 2014 and re-released Tamriel Unlimited Edition in 2015. Each Chapter release typically features a new location for players to explore, meaning new Zone Quests, side quests, caves, dungeons, and more for you to discover.

Each Chapter released for ESO covers one of the many story arcs told through new locations, quests, character interactions, events, and more. These story arcs include Molag Bal’s Planemeld, The Daedric Wars, Season of the Dragon, the Dark Heart of Skyrim, Gates of Oblivion, Legacy of the Bretons, and the ongoing Shadow Over Morrowind, according to one ESO Forum thread by Varanis Arano.

Each Chapter expands the world map of Tamriel, which makes traveling between locations more immersive and exciting. So, let’s look at all the Chapters for The Elder Scrolls Online as of June 2023 in order of release:
