New Normal and Savage Raid Series
Dawntrail will introduce a new Raid series, The Arcadion. It seems to be set in the same location that Solution Nine is at given the futuristic scenery inside the promotional image. The Arcadion is described as "a grand spectacle unlike any other," as an arena where fighters battle each other for glory. Players will likely have to do battle with other champions of the arena. In addition, two unknown-as-of-yet Ascians, Altima and Deudalaphon, are speculated to be involved somehow due to the Ascian mark appearing on the image.
New Alliance Raid Series
The newest Alliance Raid series will be based on Final Fantasy XI. Titled Echoes of Vana'diel, players will step into Vana'diel to explore the world of the acclaimed MMO predecessor to FFXIV. The specifics of the raid were not discussed, but with twenty years of content there are sure to be great boss battles and gear players can acquire. The first tier of this raid will be released in Patch 7.1.
New Type of Raid: Chaotic Alliance Raid
The Chaotic Alliance Raid, Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic) will be released in Patch 7.1. This raid is designed for 24 players and is meant to be around Extreme Trials in level of difficulty.
New Ultimate Raids
At least one new Ultimate raid was announced for Dawntrail. Ultimate-level raids are the pinnacle of difficulty in FFXIV, and with the challenge comes true prestige and an equivalent "Legend" title that is rewarded to players who conquer these grueling encounters. At least one new Ultimate raid has been announced for Dawntrail. It is titled Futures Rewritten (Ultimate) and the raid will be based on the Wandering Minstrel's retelling of Ryne and Gaia's story in the Eden raid throughout Shadowbringers. Because of this description, it is likely that the raid will feature a cinematic narrative similar to that of Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate).
