The short answer
This charge is likely for a recurring ESO Plus subscription or an in-game purchase for The Elder Scrolls Online.
Understanding this charge
A charge from ZENIMAX ONLINE or DRI*ZENIMAX is typically associated with The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO). This is most commonly a recurring monthly charge for an ESO Plus membership, which grants access to DLCs and an in-game craft bag.
It can also represent one-time purchases of 'Crowns' (the in-game currency) or expansions bought directly through the ZeniMax/Bethesda storefront.
Authorization Holds
If you recently updated your payment method or started a free trial, ZeniMax may place a temporary authorization hold on your card. These holds usually disappear within a few business days.
