The dungeon “The Shattered Throne” is one of the most popular activities in Destiny 2 among Guardians. Many fans would like to see more such content. Bungie has recently commented on this.
What is The Shattered Throne? The Shattered Throne is a challenging dungeon activity that was introduced with the Forsaken expansion. It is longer and more demanding than all missions and strikes in Destiny 2 but shorter than most raids.
Essentially, The Shattered Throne represents a kind of mini-raid for a fireteam of three Guardians. The team must fight through numerous challenging passages to ultimately face a tough boss.
Due to the Cursed of the Dreaming City, this endgame activity is only available once every three weeks. Additionally, the exotic bow “Wishender” can be obtained through this activity.
That’s why many Guardians wish for more dungeon activities like this: The Shattered Throne is very popular among many fans. It offers just the right length, has challenging encounters, is varied in design, and is visually impressive. The overall package of the activity simply feels right to many players.
Moreover, it’s significantly easier to form a 3-player team than to find six players for raids like Last Wish. Nowadays, many are also seeking the challenge of a solo run through this dungeon.
Since this top-tier activity went live in the fall of 2018, there have been regular posts on Reddit where fans demand more such dungeon activities from Bungie. Numerous Guardians repeatedly emphasize that The Shattered Throne is among the best and most fun activities in all of Destiny 2, and they finally want to see more of it.
What does Bungie say about this? Recently, Bungie commented on these wishes. And it looks like the fans’ demands will be met in the future.
On April 29, a Ride Along with Bungie took place in The Shattered Throne. The developers played this activity in a stream, and some selected guests chatted about the creation of this dungeon as well as other topics.
During this, some community questions were traditionally addressed and answered. One fan explicitly queried and wanted to know from Bungie: “Looking at the success and recognizing how well The Shattered Throne is received – Is this an activity that we will see more of in Destiny 2 in the future?”
When the guests present looked a bit puzzled and uncertain, the Community Manager DeeJ addressed this question and answered: “You never know what might happen in the world of Destiny. If none of you (the present developers) want to say it, I will. We currently have people upstairs working on new surprises for you. So we are certainly not done with this kind of content. Not by a long shot.”
When could this activity come? DeeJ doesn’t get very specific, but for many, it’s quite obvious that more activities like The Shattered Throne are on the way. Many fans interpret his statement as kind of a teaser. However, the Community Manager did not mention when to expect it.
It is possible that further activities of this format could come in Season 7, the Season of Opulence. Because besides a new 6-player activity that is not meant to be a raid, there are other unknown contents that Bungie has not revealed anything about yet. Some players speculate that it could be in the fall of 2019 when the first original content from Bungie is expected after the split from Activision.
What do you think of The Shattered Throne? Would you be happy to see more of such top-tier activities?
