Crimson Veldt is a new 12-player trial coming to The Elder Scrolls Online as part of ESO Season 1. It was first shown on the ESO roadmap in January 2026 and received its first concept art reveal during the March 2026 Dev Updates livestream. The trial is in active development.
Mike Finnigan (Associate Design Director) showed four concept art pieces for the ESO Crimson Veldt trial during the March 20206 Dev Updates Livestream. These are early pre-production mood pieces, not final in-game assets.
What We Know So Far About ESO Crimson Veldt
- Set in Hircine's Hunting Grounds. Features savannas and canyons, not heavy forest.
- Darker tone. The team picked a specific side of Hircine to give the trial its own feel, similar to how the Deadlands had both its fire-and-brimstone look and the Stormlands.
- Concept art showed the starting area and a tower and elevator down into the trial.
- No Indrik boss in Crimson Veldt. That is already in the March of Sacrifices dungeon which you can even experience solo later in the year with solo-mode dungeons.
- The final piece shown was the Butcher's Belly, a boss fight arena.
