Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris is on an indefinite hiatus

The Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris game mode will not feature in the game for some time, developer Bungie has confirmed.

Explaining the decision, Bungie said the original Destiny’s Trials of Osiris was released as “a pinnacle venue for players to show off their best skills, strategies, and gear. The 3v3 elimination mode combined with the card system created the coveted reward of earning a trip to the Lighthouse.”

Bungie admitted that with “the introduction of Trials of the Nine in Destiny 2, we made a few changes to the formula which never really hit the same mark. We were unhappy with its role in the ecosystem. The new activity wasn’t achieving the goal of bringing the community together every weekend.”

The dev team doesn’t believe that reverting the mode to its 2015 version would be successful, so it’s back to the drawing board.

“Until we have a solid prototype for a pinnacle PvP endgame activity, Trials is staying on hiatus indefinitely and will not return over the course of the next few seasons, the update continued.

In the meantime, PvP-focused Guardians can look forward to another round of the Iron Banner. It will run between 19-26 February.

Destiny 2 is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
