The latest update for Elder Scrolls Online, named the "Endless Archive", is now live. This free activity comes as part of a base game update for players and offers some fresh challenges.


Elder Scrolls Online Launches Free Archive Update on Xbox

The world of Elder Scrolls Online has just got a lot more interesting, particularly if you like battling mythical creatures and pursuing unending challenges. The video game, developed by ZeniMax Online Studios, introduces the Endless Archive, a player versus environment (PvE) activity, and part of a free base game update. This exciting new twist is now live across all platforms, including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and, not forgetting, Windows.

In essence, the Endless Archive serves to deliver an unending challenge for players. Gamers are thrown into the unpredictable world of the Elder Scrolls, where shifting libraries and twisting pathways lie at the core of Hermaeus Mora's most puzzling strongholds. These Strongholds are filled with unpredictable and monstrous threats. An unexpected twist in the game reveals that a sinister force is instigating chaos in the once tranquil Archive. Hence, Master Malkhest, the custodian of the archive, seeks brave explorers who can dive into the mystery, investigate the corruption, and steer the archive back to calm.

Of course, the journey won't be easy for our brave explorers. The challenge within this eternal arena intensifies as players advance. Enemies become more potent and numerous. If players fall prey to the archive's dangers three times, their run ends, and they must start over. The thrilling part is that there's always another expedition waiting in the Endless Archive. The more treacherous the dangers players encounter, the grander the rewards they stand to gain!

In support of the player's brave quests, the game introduces two benefits: Verses and Visions. Verses offer temporary buffs that last until the end of the next stage, whereas Visions provide buffs lasting throughout the entire run. Players can also access unique collectibles, item sets, and class set items as rewards for their diligent explorations.

Adding another exciting layer to the game is the introduction of a new currency, named "archival fortunate". Players can use this currency to purchase helpful items from vendors who are stationed within the Endless Archive's vibrant central hub. Moreover, players can unlock exclusive collectibles that are unique to this zone.

While the Endless Archive offers countless adventures within the game, Update 40 also brings with it a handful of significant additions to the overall game experience. These include Japanese console text localisation, a group finder tool, grand master crafting stations, and a major rebalancing of jewelry crafting. Fans can also expect various other quality-of-life improvements that promise to make gameplay smoother and more enjoyable.

For anyone who wants to delve into the details of what this update brings to the table, they can check out the full patch notes given on the ESO website. It's safe to say that this new addition to Elder Scrolls Online brings in a fresh whirlwind of challenges and rewards, waiting for players to explore and conquer. Players are encouraged to grab this opportunity, jump into the mystery, and answer the call of the Endless Archive.
