Free on 19 Oct: Greymoor and Wolfhunter
Greymoor adds the Western Skyrim zone, the Antiquities system and the Kyne’s Aegis trial.
Wolfhunter adds two dungeons: Moon Hunter Keep and March of Sacrifices.
From 19 Oct, you can play all of it without buying anything.
Season Two: Echoes of Skyrim
Season Two starts on Wednesday 21 Oct 2026 and runs until 27 Jan 2027.
It opens a new region, Eastern Skyrim.
Moon Hunter Keep and March of Sacrifices also get solo versions, so you can run them alone.
Witches Festival
The yearly Halloween event returns on 21 Oct 2026.
Our take
- New players: start now. A full zone, a trial and two dungeons cost nothing from 19 Oct.
- Returning players: use the solo dungeons to learn the fights at your own pace, then queue with a group.
- Trial groups: Kyne’s Aegis becomes free, so expect more new players asking for runs. Be patient with them.
