In the MMO shooter Destiny, the “event” before the launch of “The Dawning of the Iron Lords” has started. Private Matches are available for everyone – on PS4 and Xbox One.
Weeks ago, rumors were circulating in the community that something great would happen before the release of “Rise of Iron.” A pre-event, similar to the “treasure key quest” before the “House of Wolves” expansion, was speculated – possibly an invasion of the Splicers into the known Destiny universe.
Many Guardians assumed that this event could start with update 2.4.0, which went live last week. This update did bring some changes to the game, such as the hunt for the Unlawful or significant weapon balance changes, but no major “event.” And now it is officially known: It is the Private Matches that are available for all Guardians – at least on PS4 and Xbox One.
Private Games Not Just for MLG
Two weeks ago, DeeJ announced in the weekly letter to the community that “Major League Gaming,” abbreviated MLG, will host a live stream on September 13 at 7 PM, in which they will showcase “the true meaning of war.” A private game in the new Control Mode, a best-of-five matchup, will be played. After the 5 matches were played, it was announced: From now on, the private games are available.
Today around 8:15 PM, the Private Matches went live. Dive into the fray now and challenge your pals. To do this, select the Crucible in the orbit. About in the middle of the screen is the “Private Match” selection. Now you can set the game options and off you go.
As game settings, you can set the game mode, the map, the score limit, the time limit, and the light level advantages.
Update: Reports are currently flooding in that dead Ghosts are being found on the maps. Have fun searching!
Have fun, Guardians.
