Elder Scrolls Online Update 47 & Feast Of Shadows Dungeon Pack: What New Content Can You Experience?

Posted: Aug 18, 2025 Views: 12

Previously, when we outlined Elder Scrolls Online's July roadmap, we provided a glimpse into Update 47 and the new dungeons that will launch alongside it. Now, they're finally launching on August 18th (on PC & Mac)!

Note that the update will launch on September 3rd for Xbox and PlayStation platforms, and only Update 47 is completely free to play. To play the two new dungeons in the pack, you'll need 2025 Content Pass, 2025 Premium Edition, or an ESO Plus membership.

With that in mind, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of Update 47 and the new dungeons so you can decide whether they're worth playing.

Elder Scrolls Online Update 47 & Feast Of Shadows Dungeon Pack: What New Content Can You Experience?

Update 47 Basic Upgrades

This update doesn't add any significant new features to gameplay or major game modes. Instead, it focuses on improving overall game flow and overall experience, focusing on details like quality of life.

Water-Capable Mounts

Previously, when traveling between locations on a mount to increase travel speed and farm ESO gold faster, you'd have to dismount if you encountered water along the way.

While this didn't take too long, it became inconvenient over time. Update 47 introduces a new feature that allows you to ride any mount directly through water - just be careful not to expose it to attacks from aquatic creatures.

While this sounds like a simple skill, the game still required customizing the water-capturing animations and sounds for each mount, making it a relatively complex task for the developers.

Playback NPC Voiceovers

Across the vast continent of Tamriel, there are numerous NPCs of various races. Some can guide you in basic survival skills, while others will introduce you to new or existing lore.

To enhance the immersive experience as you interact with them, Elder Scrolls Online provides voiceovers for most characters. However, sometimes you might miss these captivating narrations due to distraction or other reasons.

Update 47 addresses this issue by adding an option for your character to replay the most recent voiceover of NPC who you're currently speaking with. On-screen narration has also been added to avoid overlapping with NPC voiceovers.

Making Survey Reports Stackable

In the previous update, ESO introduced stacking for Master Writs to streamline your inventory. Similar stacking mechanisms can be applied to more items, such as Survey Reports, to ensure a consistently streamlined inventory.

Survey Reports are effectively rewards for crafting Writs, available to characters of all levels. Adding stacking functionality will allow you to carry more reports easily, making it easier to utilize and trade them on the go.

Modifiable Infinite Archive Visions

As one of ESO's core PvE gameplay features, Infinite Archive spawns waves of random enemies and bosses in ever-changing halls. You must complete challenges at increasing difficulty levels to earn rewards such as gold, class sets, and furniture.

During these challenges, Infinite Archive will randomly grant you different buffs to help you survive longer, one of which is visions. With Update 47, ESO has updated the selectable visions, giving you more control over your progress by acquiring the right visions.

New Dungeon 1: Naj-Caldeesh

As the first part of Feast of Shadows dungeon pack, Naj-Caldeesh is a lost ancient Argonian citadel that has been invaded by a sinister necromantic cult - a continuation of the story from Seasons of the Worm Cult.

Because Worm Cult destroyed Seekxilts' village in the previous story, she was forced to find Naj-Caldeesh and use it as a new home. However, this also attracted the attention of Wuj-Laxul necromancers.

Elder Scrolls Online Naj-Caldeesh

Your role here is to work with your teammates to thwart the necromancers' plot. In addition to bosses and enemies, you must also be wary of dangerous traps that may appear at any time.

Completing this dungeon will give you a chance to obtain four all-new item sets, a monster mask, and special collectibles, as well as a series of achievements. If you frequently utilize your subclass in combat, Xanmeer Spellweaver light armor is worth a look.

New Dungeon 2: Black Gem Foundry

This dungeon is located in Molag Bal's Oblivion realm of Coldharbour. You can pass through a cave in Western Solstice to find the entrance to this dungeon. This cave serves as both a quarry and a forge for black soul gems.

In short, dangerous weapons and items are spawned here, and your mission is to prevent them from being acquired by Worm Cult. To do this, you'll need to defeat a series of enemies in a dungeon filled with Black Gem elements.

Elder Scrolls Online Black Gem Foundry

Enemy types worth noting in this dungeon include Quarrymaster Saldezaar, Black Gem Monstrosity, and High Soulbinder Vykand. Each poses a different threat, requiring your exceptional spatial awareness.

For example, Black Gem Monstrosity is a towering monster composed of black gems. You must constantly monitor the constant flow of lava while avoiding its highly focused beam attacks.

Fighting High Soulbinder Vykand not only tests your combat awareness, but also requires exceptional focus and memory, as well as consistent communication with your teammates.

The rewards offered at Black Gem Foundry are largely the same as those at Naj-Caldeesh. New gear, such as Lustrous Soulwell light armor set, significantly increases your team's regeneration rate when using your ultimate, making it a must-see.

That's it for Update 47 and the two new dungeons that are launching simultaneously. You'll be able to experience more details in-game once they're officially released. Thank you for reading.
