Whereas we already knew that one other new Future 2 dungeon will arrive with the beginning of its subsequent episode, Heresy, in just a few weeks time, little or no else was identified about it. At this time although, Bungie revealed its title, location, and (for me) an important element of all: the world’s first dungeon race is returning after its success on the launch of Vesper’s Host.
Vesper’s Host is a good dungeon, however Bungie’s determination to kick off its launch with a world’s first race made it really feel even higher. Beforehand reserved only for the discharge of recent raids, Future 2 world’s first races make up a few of my favourite gaming reminiscences through the years, and lengthening it to a dungeon that ended up being tougher than some raids was a fantastic transfer. It was so nicely acquired that Bungie goes to carry it again for the discharge of the brand new Heresy dungeon, Sundered Doctrine.
Sure, we’ve obtained a reputation! There are not any screenshots or trailers simply but, however what we do know is that it’ll require us to “journey to Savathun’s Throne World and infiltrate Rhulk’s Pyramid Ship.” This in fact was the setting for the FPS sport‘s Vow of the Disciple raid the place the Guardian killed Rhulk, in order that ship has been mendacity dormant ever since. No matter’s occurred in there, or whoever has gotten into it, clearly wants finding out.
We all know that Heresy would be the last chapter in Future’s decade-long Mild and Darkness saga and units up an entire new saga that’ll be explored in its subsequent growth, which is at the moment codenamed Apollo. Bungie has stated that with its three Episodes this 12 months (Echoes, Revenant, and Heresy) it needs to tie up all of the unfastened ends of the Mild and Darkness period, and if there’s one actually huge unfastened finish that’s nonetheless dangling, it’s the Hive god Xivu Arath. That is purely speculative in the intervening time, however Heresy, what with its confirmed Hive theme, appears ripe for a Xivu look – probably within the Sundered Doctrine dungeon.
Anyway, again to the dungeon race itself. Bungie has confirmed that, like with Vesper’s Host, the difficult Contest Mode will likely be stay for the primary 48 hours. Regular issue mode will likely be obtainable as soon as the dungeon has been cleared by the winner of the Sundered Doctrine race.
Nevertheless, there’s a twist this time round. Whereas raid and dungeon races have beforehand awarded podium positions for the primary three groups to finish the exercise, Bungie is taking away that this 12 months and can simply crown the winner. No prizes for coming second (or third) on this race. To make that primary spot really feel much more particular, Bungie goes to dish out an precise trophy, which it says it’ll reveal within the construct as much as Heresy’s launch.
The brand new Future 2 dungeon, Sundered Doctrine, goes stay on Friday, February 7. The dungeon race begins as quickly because it drops at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm GMT.
