According to the latest This Week at Bungie blog post, it looks as if the studio still doesn’t have a definitive time frame in place as to when Trials will return to Destiny 2, but the developer does know that it won’t be introducing the D1 version of Trials of Osiris when it does finally bring the PvP feature back. As stated by Bungie, due to the fact that “both Destiny and the online PvP scene have evolved since 2015”, the company doesn’t believe injecting the Trials of Osiris gameplay formula from 2015 into D2 “would accomplish what [its] goals are today.”
Furthermore, Bungie went on to say that since it’s not exactly sure how to handle Trials’ comeback for Destiny 2 at the moment, the Crucible activity will be “staying on hiatus indefinitely and will not return over the course of the next few seasons.” That’s not to say that the PvP feature won’t ever return, though, as the studio vowed to provide fans with an update on the matter as soon as it has hammered out “a solid prototype for a pinnacle PvP endgame activity”.
While this may come as a disappointment to many longtime Destiny fans, it’s difficult to fault Bungie for simply being open about the issue and not making any promises regarding Trials’ return to Destiny 2 at this point in time. So, since it appears as if Guardians won’t be making that coveted trip to The Lighthouse for exclusive loot, it will be interesting to see just what Bungie manages to cook up when the Crucible activity does get revived.
Destiny 2 is available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
