Destiny 2’s <\/em>new Episode, Revenant, is just weeks away. And so, too, is the game’s newest Dungeon, a three-person endgame activity that will ratchet up the difficulty more than usual.<\/p>
In today’s This Week in Destiny<\/em> blog post<\/a>, Bungie confirmed the new episode will begin in a few weeks on Oct. 8, and the newest Dungeon will kick off a few days later on Oct. 11. No other details about the Dungeon were revealed, other than the fact that it will feature Contest Mode for the first time.<\/p>
Usually reserved for the first few days of a Destiny<\/a> <\/em>raid’s release, Contest Mode ramps up the difficulty by capping off the Power level advantages much lower than normal, meaning everyone is on the same footing regardless of what Power they are.<\/p>
Earlier in the week, Bungie announced what to expect from the franchise’s future<\/a> in Codename: Frontiers and beyond. The developer will switch from the yearly expansion model to instead offer two, smaller expansions every six months, with seasonal drops in between.<\/p>
