All eyes might be on Bungie’s September right now, when Destiny 2: Forsaken launches and begins the second year of content and events, but players won’t have to wait that long to actually get their hands on new updates for the game. A revised Destiny 2 roadmap sets the next major update (Destiny 2 update 1.2.3) for July, with a number of quality of life changes, balancing tweaks, and content additions to hold players over until Forsaken launches on September 4.
The July 17 update is called Solstice of Heroes and brings with it an event of the same name. Nothing is known yet about this new summer event. It’s not a repeat from previous Destiny events like The Dawning or Festival of the Lost. For the PvP players out there, the Quickplay playlist will be shifting from 4v4 to a permanent 6v6. Competitive will still remain 4v4. In addition, Rumble is being added as a permanent playlist for those that want to go it alone. Bounties are returning after disappearing on Destiny 2’s launch. Bounties were a popular feature in Destiny 1, but got replaced by activity-specific challenges in Destiny 2. No further details are available on Bounties at this time. We’ll also finally be getting the Prestige mode for the Curse of Osiris and Warmind Raid Lairs to really challenge players who want something tough in their endgame. It’s unknown exactly how the Prestige mode will function, but we can expect more announcements on that soon.
