Update 52 reached ESO's PC Public Test Server on October 26. The build includes Season Three content, interface changes, and new housing options. Its balance and features may still change before release.

The largest addition is Jerall Pass, a snowy Alliance PvP zone. The PTS version pits three teams of 40 players against each other around Fanthor Keep. Activity in the zone awards Jerall Marks, a currency that can buy Mythic leads, Trial and Dungeon gear, and older Veterancy rewards.

Rimegales is the other major encounter. These ice storms appear in eastern Skyrim and temporarily replace Dark Anchors. Players build bonfires to counter the Frigid Chill effect before fighting invading Rime Giants.

The smaller changes may affect more players day to day. Update 52 adds an optional minimap, Scribing support in the Armory, and a safeguard against leaving a guild by accident. Groups get 5 minutes after a dungeon instead of 2 to collect rewards and wrap up. Companion customization expands to hair, hats, facial hair, and body markings. Housing tests include higher furnishing limits and 66 new furnishing plans.

Update 52 and Season Three are scheduled for January 19. The date is listed on the The Elder Scrolls Online page.
