Summary
Bungie announces that the first instance of Iron Banner inDestiny 2is going to miss its early November start date by a few weeks, giving players a new launch time. It’s been a busy week for currentDestiny 2players following the launch of Episode Revenant earlier this month, followed closely by the Vesper’s Host dungeon activity.
While usually reserved for new raids, Vesper’s Host becameDestiny 2’s first dungeon with a Contest Mode race. Providing an added challenge with more aggressive enemies and a lack of power advantage for players, Bungie promised plenty of rewards for those who could finish the task including a guaranteed drop of the returningDestiny 2exotic, Ice Breaker. With Vesper’s Host now live, manyDestiny 2players are looking ahead to see what else is arriving on the calendar, though fans will have to wait just slightly longer to get their first Iron Banner fix.
In a new post on the Destiny 2 Teams social media channel, Bungie confirmed that Iron Banner isn’t going to arrive in the “early November” window that was previously mentioned. Although the post didn’t go into specifics as to why this delay is happening, Episode Revenant’s first instance of Iron Banner will be launching on November 26 instead. Bungie also confirmed that the PvP mode Control will be the first mode active for Iron Banner, with the second instance featuringDestiny 2’s Tribute game mode.
Destiny 2 Episode Revenant Iron Banner Start Date
While the news may be disappointing to many, especially as Episode Revenant is introducing brand-new gear for players to chase this time around. As Bungie previously confirmed, players can get their hands on the Iron Intent armor sets, which feature highly detailed designs resembling gear that would feel at home on a Medieval Knight. The event also brings with it a revitalized version of Archon’s Thunder, a High-Impact machine gun which has been given new perks and the Stasis element damage type. Finally, a newRocket Frame Sidearm forDestiny 2playersis being added with Tinasha’s Mastery, which also uses the Stasis damage type.
In addition to upcoming game modes, a new leak has potentially revealed thatDestiny 2is crossing over withStreet Fighterin a new collaboration for Ghost Shells, emotes, and finishers. Over the past couple of years, Bungie has seemingly placed a greater emphasis on these cross collaborations with various IPs and franchises, including everything fromFortniteandGhostbusters, toDungeons and DragonsandThe Witcher.
