No new dungeons does concern me, but remains to be seen how my community is affected. Hopefully the solo edition of MHK & MoS captures their attention if nothing else. I presume solo modes and new dungeons are mutually exclusive. I just hope we get more next year! We did get 4 this past year, after all.

It's unreal that they wouldn't release at least four new dungeons this year, for most of the players I know, dungeons are the the center of the game.

Sounds like there is new content, but temporary?

It might not be true! @ZOS_GregoryV messaged me about my no dungeon post being a conspiracy theory. It's a huge relief to know they wouldn't do something so detrimental to the game, but it'd still be nice to get some confirmation that we'll get new dungeons this year.

And honestly, I’m glad we are not getting another slop of four dungeons this year, we already have more than enough of them.

To me it seems like the usually dungeon rewards can get earned by other types of content (like these new dynamic events they had twice in the road map).

We don't have enough dungeons, many of us really look forward to learning and mastering new dungeon mechanics and getting trifectas etc. It's not just rewards we want, but fun new gameplay.

I hope they building new content you like too, but many of us have built our communities around dungeon achieves and we need new content this year.

Instead of a dungeon you’ll have the Night Market, which seems to be like a dungeon, just open world. Basically it‘s just Craglorn reloaded, but they are not calling it adventure zone just yet.

Nope. They'll never make overland group content as challenging as instanced dungeons. Not nearly as fun.

Craglorn isn't a dungeon, bastion nymics aren't dungeons, trials aren't dungeons, and the writhing fortress wasn't a dungeon either.

Are there no new dungeons for this year? Is the Night Market aimed at the players who would normally expect dungeons?

Nick Giacomini: Right now, there are no new group dungeons planned for 2026. We do have a Trial that's going to be coming. You mentioned the Night Market. And solo dungeons are going to be coming. That will allow players to engage in dungeon content solo, and there will be different difficulties and rewards associated with those. That was one of the trade-offs that we had to make in order to do solo dungeons. It's one of the things that we're trying to invest in generally. That Chapter model and its 18-month lead time was really restrictive in terms of what we could do on top of that to respond to player feedback to do more exciting things, and this is an example of that.

Believe me, we would like to do more dungeons. It is highly likely that dungeons are going to be in the future, but this year, as we invest more in the core experience of the game, this was one of those trade-offs that we had to make.

Greetings all,

Just wanted to share a link to the Roadmap, which shows Solo Dungeons listed under Season Two. Additionally, the article that was posted today, under the Future Seasons section, it currently shows "Solo dungeons! " as well as "And more!".

This is the only information I have about this matter at the moment, as I am a Moderator, not a dev. With that said, I do not want to speculate, or provide any potential Conspiracy Theories and Misinformation, as that is against the Community Rules. All we can do is wait and see what the future holds.

I hope this information helps!

Regards,
-Greg-

Oh. Can we get confirmation that "And More!" doesn't mean more new dungeons so there isn't any of the errant hopeful rampant speculation we all don't want. If there aren't going to be new four person dungeons, this will be a huge impact on the game, and we should know now.

Some people like to work together on group content. Dungeons have a predictable, repeatable format and come with all sorts of fun achievements. We do not have enough dungeons because the point is to keep doing them. Some of us have been doing dungeons with the same crew for a long time.

There are like 50 dungeons in the game, I think there are enough already. What we do not have, is something like a second Craglorn - which we‘re about to get now.

Many of us build our communities around dungeons, we need new challenges. This will cause another horrible exodus from the game.

What do you want to tell me?

I don't remember who it was, but someone really did try to argue with me once that it's okay to get only 2 dungeons instead of 4 because bastion nymics are basically dungeons. They are not.

People would be up in arms if I said there should be no new trials or no new overland zones because there's too many. Yes, there's a lot of dungeons, but we run them so often that they become boring. They don't have the difficulty of a trial prog, people get them pretty quickly after release and then its waiting until the motifs drop just to grind the dungeon to the point its not fun anymore.

You’re totally right in that regard and your statement holds truth to it, but we knew they are moving away from their tried and tested content model. So it was very obvious that we cannot expect four new dungeons this year, this was crystal clear from the moment on they announced that they’re abandoning the Chapter model. We could have expected to get new dungeons though, maybe at least one. But as said before, the certainty for that to happen was gone.

I wasn't expecting 4 new dungeons but I was kind of expecting at least two. It's the same thing as if we suddenly didn't get a trial for a year except the dungeon endgame tends to be overlooked as we're lumped in with trials as PvE endgame rather than seen as its own thing.

That said, I'd be completely happy with ZOS just throwing us a bone. I said it in the survey, I'd be happy if they added side achievements to older dungeons, gave us more difficulty levels with the solo difficulty variants, added rewards to challengers and/or trifectas, or even just dedicated themselves a bit to fixing dungeon bugs (such as MHK's Vykosa wolf chain not working anymore. I don't know if anyone ever reported it but as it stands right now, it doesn't feel worth reporting, especially since its a blatant bug. It happens every single time you do the fight.).

It's not reasonable to expect the combat team to work on the regular projects WITH additional things (like story mode dungeons) on top. We have to share the team, but I hope we are not forgotten. There's plenty of us that do ONLY dungeons.

We need a well designed group overland zone - not Craglorn.
