After the recent update, I have been offered a bounty quest to complete 4 instances of the new quest zone (Void Dimension) BUT I haven't unlocked it yet. Please see the attached 2 screenshots.

Happens with all dungeons, not only void. If one could unlock it, it's offered as highest dungeon for bounties. It doesn't even matter if your player level is high enough

Seems a bug to me, they could easily check if it is unlocked when generating the bounty quests.

While i also think one shouldn't be offered to difficult bounties there have been bug reports about this before and it doesn't look like it is a bug.

It is intended and we’ve been told on multiple occasions this is intended
The only time it wouldn’t be is if you’re no way close to the level requirement for unlocking the area

Last time i checked, the game didn't care about level requirement either

there was a time when it was offering those bounties like, 10 levels out - which was a bug
one or two levels I don't think is

if you've beat the previous level the required amount of times its considered available as there is still the option of gem unlocking

Same issue. And I didn’t have cinderlake bounties before I unlocked it….

If it's intended then that is 100% the wrong choice. It should be changed, it is terrible game design.

So to clarify because this keeps tripping me up too:
1: it's intended if you're in the level range but haven't unlocked access to it via the previous quest zone?
2: it's a bug if you're too low level for the dungeon in question but have unlocked the previous quest zone?
For instance, I have currently quests for Cinderlake/Void even though I haven't unlocked access to it through quests yet because my level is 66.
Interestingly I didn't see Cinder (or Void, obv) quests being offered pre 13.0 release

correct. If you're in the level range for the zone, it is intended that you will be offered bounties for that zone even if you haven't unlocked it.
Otherwise, you could theoretically (not that you'd really want to) be level 80 with strong heroes, intentionally not unlocking the quest zones that are suitable for your level and gaming easy bounties.

Ahh right, that makes sense.. similar to item unlocks leveling bounties... trust me, I want to unlock the next zones! Come on game, stop making me send all my heroes to towers and cities so I can focus on quest leveling 😄

Don't think it's a bad choice.. if you don't unlock the higher levels, the bounties become unfairly too easy (quick) compared to other bounties.
And I'm on the side that how I wish it wasn't this way, just saying I see the reason why they're doing it.

Sooo we're defending having "impossible" bounties because a small handful of people might intentionally not unlock higher dungeons for somewhat easier bounties? Dungeon bounties already suck. They don't need to suck more because of like 3 dudes who want to hold back their own progress.

Dungeon bounties are my second favourite (after stones)
jagged sorrel
As I understand, the intention was to push the player "up". So it's just doing it's purpose. It being hard is secondary. Don't get me wrong, if it were up to me it would only offer dungeon bounties that are unlocked, but again I understand the game's rule on it.
Plus assuming it's only a handful (3!) of people might be shortsighted. Lots of adjustments has been made based on data they've gathered. And who knows; if the mechanics were different, then behavior would also be altered.
