The upcoming Cyrodiil Champions PvP test isn’t a full-fledged feature–yet.

But that may be about to change thanks to Cyrodiil Champions, a new experimental test mode.

“We win either way, right?

ESO’s three-faction Cyrodiil PvP battles were a major selling point at launch in 2014.

We win if it goes off and it does exactly what we want and players love it.

“We want to change,” Lambert said.

ESO’s latest Chapter, Gold Road, released in June 2024.

“We want to move forward.

We want to spice things up.

ESO celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2024.

Some abilities may deal damage to a reduced number of targets.

He said he knows it’s a dramatic shift for the game.

“Engineering efforts have kind of gone as far as they can possibly go,” Wheeler said.

“The internal playtests have been really, really positive,” Lambert said.

It’s just a really cool, welcoming, easy-to-pick-up game mode now.

Which is really cool.
