Bungie today detailed Destiny‘s new Trials of Osiris mode.
A 3v3, PvP Crucible affair, Trials of Osiris is like the Iron Banner but not. Each weekend, Trials of Osiris resets, meaning reputation and skill are built from the ground up each week. Those who want to compete and prove they’re the best will have to prove such with every reset.
As such, it’s safe to say Trials of Osiris isn’t for casual players.
To take part in Trials of Osiris, you’ll first need a Trials Passage. A quest inventory item, the Trials Passage can be purchased from Brother Vance or picked up as you start the “House of Wolves” storyline.
Once you’re in, you have to stay in.
Trials of Osiris works via the new Elimination mode. In this scheme, three losses or nine wins is all it takes for your current Passage to expire. Each time that happens — or a weekend comes to a close — your progress resets. Harsh, eh?
Rewards Packages can also be purchased from Brother Vance at the two, five and eight win marks. You can basically trade in your Passage for rewards in the transaction.
Finally, Trials of Osiris comes with some Egyptian-themed level 34 gear, which is as cool looking as it is shiny. Check it out above.
Gear will drop randomly, some can be purchased from Brother Vance, and others will be part of the aforementioned Passage reward tiers.
Here’s the whole thing explained in video form, thanks to Arekkz Gaming:
Destiny‘s “House of Wolves” expansion — and its Trials of Osiris — launch on 19 May.
