Looks like Bungie is going to be making some big changes to Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner in Destiny 2. Fans of these competitive modes can look forward to complete overhauls coming in the future for Destiny 2.
A large part of the Destiny series sees players customizing their Guardians and creating unique playstyles. By mixing weapons, abilities, and stat boosts, fans can create some crazy combinations. However, putting these loadouts to the test requires going head to head with other players in competitive modes like Trials of Osiris or Iron Banner. While Trials of Osiris was brought back to Destiny 2 recently, Bungie will soon be switching up how the mode functions.
In a recent post about the future of Destiny 2, the developer goes into detail about the adjustments. At its core, the future updates seek to improve the overall experience for all players. Part of this involves a focus on matchmaking in Trials of Osiris. Bungie commits to widening the audience that can partake in this mode as a way of enhancing the player pool. Another aspect here will have the team targeting solutions on how to rope Solo players into Trials. By expanding the net to casual players, Bungie hopes the broadened appeal with lead to these players making connections with other Guardians.
From the list it also sounds like the reward system for Trials of Osiris is getting an overhaul. Bungie wants players to stick to their Trials cards more, rather than recycling after a single loss. This means changing up cards to encourage continuing on even after a defeat. Higher skill players should want to keep playing, but casual fans will not need tricks to win Trials of Osiris. After these updates, Bungie will then switch to focusing on a refresh for Iron Banner as well.
Both of these modes have been around for awhile and have not seen many changes. Fans who have been with the Destiny series for years will likely be ready for some kind of overhaul. Plus, opening up Trials of Osiris to casual players could be beneficial for the mode’s dropping population numbers. By limiting it to coordinated fireteams only, there will be less playing by default and therefore pressuring Bungie to ignore it in favor of populated activities.
That said, there will surely be hardcore Destiny gamers who are skeptical of these potential updates. Trials of Osiris is meant to be the outlet for highly focused and competitive players to test their skills. By opening it up to solo queue, it could possibly lose its identity and never regain the popularity it once had. And as of now, Bungie is being vague about the Iron Banner changes so it could be tough for some fans to get excited. In any case, these overhauls should keep the competitive scene fresh in Destiny 2.
Destiny 2 is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
