The ESO Witches Festival puts the spotlight on all things dark and spooky in Tamriel when the Halloween season rolls around, and dishes out treats aplenty. From the Witchmother and special quests to costumes, XP boosts, and more, the ESO Witches Festival is a chance to get plenty of new items.
There’s also at least one new set of achievements or a rare mount to get your hands on as well. The event has been a season staple for the past several years, and while ZeniMax hasn’t announced any details for the ESO Witches Festival 2021, we’d be surprised if it didn’t make a return this year. Here's what we know so far.

It's now officially October and the spooky season is nearly here. Get ready for some Witches Festval news pretty soon!
When does ESO Witches Festival 2021 start?
Previous years’ events give a solid idea of when we can expect the 2021 Witches Festival to start. In 2020, it began October 22, and the start date was October 24 the year before. The festival usually runs for more than a week, and ZeniMax has been known to extend the duration from time to time.
The specifics of each event change each year, but you can expect the following
- New quests
- Special boss fights
- Costumes
- Event tickets that reward you with exclusive or rare items
And we rather hope there's some additional visual spectacle this year, with the new PS5 and XSX|S upgrade ESO received over the summer.
We'll update when more information is announced.
