- Bungie has announced that a reprised raid will be released in Destiny 2 on September 1, but the specific raid is still unknown.
- The returning raids in Destiny 2 are not directly tied to the Seasonal story, making it difficult to predict which raid will come back.
- There is speculation that Crota's End may be the raid returning, but no official announcement has been made. Savathun is also set to return to the game in the near future.
Bungie has revealed that Destiny 2’s next reprised raid will release on September 1. This was revealed in the latest This Week In Destiny post, but it didn’t mention which raid in particular will be returning to Destiny 2.
Bungie introduced the concept of returning raids during Destiny 2 Season of the Splicer when Vault of Glass was released, which was also the first ever raid released in Destiny. The next raid to arrive was King’s Fall that launched last year with Season of the Plunder, which is still regarded as one of the best raids of all time. Now, Bungie is gearing up to bring back another raid from the vault and has revealed when players will be able to play it.
In the latest TWID post, Bungie revealed that the raid will be playable on September 1, but has still kept the name under wraps. Along with this, the post also mentioned that rules for the Day 1 raid race in Destiny 2 will remain the same as King's Fall, where the contest mode will last for 48 hours and players will also get access to the Challenge mode upon completing it.
The interesting part about these returning raids is that they have no connection to the Seasonal story, which makes it incredibly difficult to predict which raid could come back. As of now, there are seven raids in Destiny 2, out of which King’s Fall and Vault of Glass are reprised raids from Destiny 1. If Bungie intends to bring back all Destiny 1 raids, the returning one could either be Crota’s End or Wrath of the Machine as these are the only ones that remain from the previous game. A leak has already suggested that Crota’s End is coming back to Destiny 2 this year, but it should be taken with a grain of salt since there is no official announcement. The other vaulted raids from Destiny 2 are Leviathan, Crown of Sorrow, and Scourge of the Past, but the community doesn’t think either of these will come back.
If Crota’s End is the one coming back, Crota won’t be the only Hive God returning to the game as Savathun is also coming back to Destiny 2 in the near future. Season of the Deep revealed that if the Guardians are to stop the Witness, they will need the Witch Queen’s help in doing so. However, Bungie has clarified that this doesn’t mean that Savathun will become the Guardians’ ally considering she still has a genocidal past which cannot be overlooked.
Destiny 2 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
