Elder Scrolls Online Update 43 Adds New Infinite Archive Content And Housing Feature
Elder Scrolls Online has rolled out Update 43 on both PC and Mac. While it won’t add any new content, which are usually reserved for DLC and chapter releases, it’s still packed full of quality-of-life improvements and base-game enhancements with a focus on expanding and further refining the Infinite Archive endless dungeon system.
According to developer ZeniMax Online Studios, they had always planned to expand and update the Infinite Archive to add more variety and challenges. Update 43 will do just that, promising new enemies, new ways to defeat said enemies, new environments, and the new fire and ice arena types for those looking for a change of scenery.
“One of the requested features since the launch of Infinite Archive was to diversify the look of the different combat settings,” ZeniMax revealed. “The fiery reds and icy blues stand out from the Apocrypha greens, while also still having the elements that define the appearance of the Infinite Archive.”
“How players tackle the ice and fire stages will be intriguing, because both arenas play so differently,” the developers added. “You might want to move more in the fire arena, while in the ice one, its best to find the safe spots while you fight.”

Update 43 also introduced a new way to in-game houses, called the Home Tours feature. It basically curates each and every single in-game house in Tamriel, allowing players to easily browse, find, and visit virtually any player’s house, whether it’s just to just look or to gain inspiration for their next building or renovation project.
“We wanted to provide a tool that would help connect folks with a shared interest in housing, introduce folks to what’s possible in housing, and generally help build the housing community with a focus on positivity,” the studio said. “Home Tours is our next evolution toward building a stronger housing community. It gives you a way to share your creativity and passion with everyone easily and in one central place.”
As with all major updates, console players will have to wait until September 4 to experience all of the new things that Update 43 has to offer. You can check out the full patch notes on the Elder Scrolls Online official forums and a preview of the new Home Tours feature in the video below.
