In the latest weekly blog post, Bungie teases a new game mode coming toDestiny 2Iron Banner later this season. The Crucible,Destiny 2’s PvP modes, have been a sore spot for many in the community over the past few years. While seasons and expansions typically focus on PvE style content, many have felt that theCrucible has been largely ignoredwith no major overhaul changes or content additions in years.
Thankfully, Bungie has started to address these concerns from the community, first adding the Disjunction map earlier this year, and then provided a glimpse at what the company has planned for the mode in upcoming seasons.Bungie has promised another new map as well as two refreshed maps in 2023and a unique seal to chase called Glorious. New game modes have also been arriving faster than ever before, with Iron Banner seemingly serving as the test ground for Eruption and the return of Rift.

Now, during Season of the Seraph, Bungie is planning to utilizeIron Banner again to introduce another brand-new mode. In the latest weekly blog post forDestiny 2, Bungie revealed that Valus Forge, formerly Lord Saladin, has a few new tricks up his sleeve for Iron Banner this season. Starting on January 3, Iron Banner players can take part in the new Fortress mode, which introduces a few twists on the classic capture zones style game modes.
According to the blog post, as players fight over capture zones, Cabal enemies start to get involved by invading the matches. During this time, the objectives will change to add a few wrinkles into the match. Unfortunately, Bungie was fairly vague with just how the mode will work, butDestiny 2players don’t have too long to wait to experience everything at the start of 2023. In addition, players can earn refreshed Iron Banner armor as well as the Dark Decider Auto Rifle and the Gunnora’s Axe Slug Shotgun.
In the meantime, Season of the Seraph has arrived with tons of content in tow. Naturally, there’s a new season pass and storyline involving restoring the Warmind AI known as Rasputin, but alongside side that, Bungie has also launched the Moments of Triumph, a series of challenges encompassing tasks from the entireDestiny 2year. If that wasn’t enough, this week saw thereturn of the Holiday event known as The Dawning, adding even more things to get done.
