Overview of Upcoming Changes to Trials of Osiris
- Bungie is set to revamp the Trials of Osiris in Destiny 2 for the release of Episode Heresy, aiming to enhance its attractiveness and reward structures.
- The existing “flawless or bust”mechanic will be replaced, enabling players to access the Lighthouse after achieving 7 wins, ensuring more enticing rewards for streaks.
Bungie has announced significant transformations for Destiny 2‘s competitive player-versus-player (PvP) mode, Trials of Osiris, which will debut with Episode Heresy in February. This mode, once a fan favorite, faced challenges after transitioning into Destiny 2 due to a previous unsuccessful iteration called Trials of the Nine.
Despite its initial popularity, Trials of Osiris has experienced a gradual decline in player engagement over the years. Bungie has introduced various updates, including new weaponry and improvements aimed at making the mode more rewarding and user-friendly. However, these efforts failed to revitalize interest significantly, prompting the company to implement its most comprehensive overhaul to date.
In a recent blog post, Bungie detailed the sweeping changes intended for Trials of Osiris with the launch of Episode Heresy, striving to make the experience not only more enjoyable but also more rewarding for players of diverse skill levels. The focus will shift towards enhancing combat mechanics rather than adhering strictly to objectives. As part of this initiative, Bungie plans to improve Fireteam-Based Matchmaking and extend the time required for zone captures.
