The company has laid out its schedule for revealing various parts of what is coming in the update, such as new gear for players and a new battle arena. But the company made clear that “House of Wolves will not have a Raid activity”, leaving out one of fans’ favourite game modes.
“We didn't make this decision lightly,” Bungie wrote in a post Our team has been humbled by the reception of Raids in Destiny and we are creating a new Raid for a release later this year. House of Wolves will have a new cooperative end game activity focused on variety, replayability, and skill – a new battle Arena called The Prison of Elders.”
Raids let six gamers play together. The game currently has two raids available to those that have got to the end of the game, both of which have been made available in updates after launch.
The company instead detailed new additions to the game, including activities called “Trials of Isiris” and “Prisons of Elders”. The first will be unveiled on April 29, and the latter will be revealed a week later on May 6.
