The Elder Scrolls: Blades Update 1.5 Opens Arena, Major Loot Overhaul, Guilds, and More

Update 1.5 is now live for The Elder Scrolls: Blades and with it comes huge changes and community-requested features. The arena is now open for all players, bringing with it PvP, guilds and the opportunity to visit other players’ towns to buy and sell goods with guildmates. A major loot overhaul also lands with update 1.5 and revamps how players earn loot, including the removal of all chest timers.

Key Features:

  • Arena mode PvP is here – Instantly available for everyone, Arena mode allows players to battle one-on-one against others for loot and glory once they reach level 5. Each victory in the best-of-three battles will help players advance up the in-game leaderboards
  • Major Loot Overhaul – Update 1.5 brings with it the removal of Chest timers, one of the most highly-requested changes. All rarity levels of chests will now open immediately, and players will no longer have to wait to see what’s inside. The update also offers increased loot from enemies as well as a boss fight at the end of every job that will provide players with greater rewards than usual upon their defeat
  • Build your guild – In addition to Arena mode, players can now experience Blades with friends through the brand-new guild system. Create guilds to trade items with guildmates, visit their towns and represent them by making a name for yourself in the arena
  • Holiday Content – Finally, update 1.5 spreads holiday cheer to players with a new winter theme for towns along with holiday decorations, special bundles and discounts in the store through December
