ZeniMax Online Studios confirmed that The Elder Scrolls Online players may now experience a new Golden Pursuit dubbed Alik’r Awaits for free until Tuesday, November 10. ZeniMax stated that the new Golden Pursuit for The Elder Scrolls Online was made to celebrate some major news from The Elder Scrolls franchise.
In the storied lore of The Elder Scrolls series, the Alik’r Desert is a notorious region within Hammerfell, the homeland of the Redguards. In short, the Redguards are a race of humans known for their martial mastery and distinct warrior culture. In The Elder Scrolls Online, the Redguards are part of the Daggerfall Covenant faction alongside the Orcs and the Bretons. ESO players can travel to the Alik’r Desert via a boat from Wayrest in Stormhaven. Despite being within Covenant territory, the Alik’r Desert can be accessed by players from any faction.

Now, players can explore the home of the Redguard during Tamriel’s Second Era and earn rewards for completing various activities. A Golden Pursuit campaign for the Alik’r Desert is now active in The Elder Scrolls Online until Tuesday, November 10. Players looking to level up quickly can join in the Golden Pursuit by defeating Daedra and dolmens located throughout the Alik’r Desert. By completing up to seven activities throughout the Alik’r Awaits Golden Pursuit, players can earn up to a maximum of 10 Warrior Wave Crown Crates, which can contain collectibles and cosmetics themed around the Redguards’ history and culture. These items include the Swift-Winds Sailor Costume, the Na-Totambu War Elephant mount, and the Tava’s Glinting Talon skin. Additionally, players can purchase Redguard-themed items directly from the Crown Store and can claim a free trial to ESO Plus that lasts until November 10.

Zenimax stated that the Alik’r Awaits Golden Pursuit was released to commemorate the title reveal of The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel. Taking its name from the Redguard capital city of Sentinel, the long-awaited next chapter of The Elder Scrolls series remains in active development at Bethesda Game Studios. Although Bethesda stated it would be some time before the studio could share more details, fans can expect a trip to the arid regions of Hammerfell once Sentinel arrives. However, gamers may be waiting a while for the upcoming Elder Scrolls single-player chapter, as Jason Schreier of Bloomberg stated that Sentinel is still over two years away from a full release.
The arrival of the Alik’r Awaits Golden Pursuit came amid a busy time for The Elder Scrolls Online and its players. On October 21, ESO released Season Two: Echoes of Skyrim, which will allow players to experience the Greymoor and Markarth DLC for free. Greymoor is now available as part of the base ESO experience, while Markarth will be added starting November 9. Events such as Whitestrake’s Mayhem and Domination Battleground will take place throughout the season.
During the final day of the Alik’r Awaits Golden Pursuit, the Return to Western Skyrim Golden Pursuit will run from November 9 to December 2. All in all, The Elder Scrolls Online and its player base are in for a loaded slate of events to wrap up 2026.
