In this mode, players fight through increasingly difficult waves of Hive combatants. Included in the expansion and going live on Friday, 11th May is a new Raid Lair, a Destiny fan-favorite endgame activity, called “Spire of Stars,” that offers new areas to explore, a brand-new boss to conquer, and unique rewards to acquire.

He added, “Warmind represents another step toward bringing the Destiny 2 hobby back to our dedicated players.”

With Warmind, we want to show we are actively listening to the global community and that we are also committed to respecting players’ time in game. We know many of our fans have expressed a need for deeper endgame activities in Destiny 2, with more meaningful rewards, and we are excited to continue to improve that experience for them with this release,” said Sam Jones, project lead at Bungie.
