Elder Scrolls Online – Midyear Mayhem
Every year, the Imperial Priests of St. Alessia commemorate the Whitestrake’s slaughter of elves at the Bridge of Heldon, and this event is held during the summer. It’s a pretty gnarly history, which explains why Elder Scrolls Online’s summer-themed event is centered around PVP.
By participating in the event, ESO players will be able to obtain unique rewards like the Laurel Wreath hat, double Alliance points, PVP equipment, and rare crafting items that can be put to good use. All these bonuses are available in the game’s PVP modes, and players will even be able to earn Midyear Boon Boxes, all of which contain even more unique loot and rare items you’d have a hard time finding elsewhere.
Elder Scrolls Online’s Midyear Mayhem summer event runs from July 20 to July 31.
Heroes of the Storm – Tychus Findlay’s Bust Your %&# Workout
Blizzard might not have officially announced the return of the Summer Games to Overwatch just yet, but Heroes of the Storm is definitely getting into the sunny mode. Tychus Findlay’s Bust Your %&# Workout is the hottest (literally) thing going on in the Nexus right now, and all the heroes are in on it.
The event comes packed with a new brawl called Pull Party, where you can hook both allies and enemies towards you. The first team to get to 20 kills will win the match. As expected, the event also has various rewards for players as well. Players will have the chance to unlock new legendary mounts, epic skins, and other customization items like portraits and sprays. They’re all looking lovely, and they’re perfect for anyone looking for that summer beach vibe in their games this year.
Tychus Findlay’s Bust Your %&# Workout will run till July 24.

World of Warcraft – Midsummer Fire Festival
Unfortunately, if you missed it, World of Warcraft’s annual Midsummer Fire Festival is already over. This summer-themed event saw bonfires lit all over Azeroth, and players were able to head to each one to decorate them (or vandalize them, if that’s more your style).
Players were able to throw flaming torches around, fight elemental spirits, and for those who were brave enough, there was also an elemental boss available to fight in the Slave Pens. And of course, there were new achievements to earn, along with other rare rewards that came along with it.
World of Warcraft’s Midsummer Fire Festival ran from June 21 to July 5.
