Destiny 2 Confirms Delay to Iron Banner Launch

Key Takeaways

  • Bungie announces that Iron Banner in Destiny 2 is delayed to November 26, 2024.
  • Episode Revenant’s Iron Banner will start with the Control mode, followed by Tribute.
  • Players can earn the new Iron Intent armor sets as well as the Tinasha’s Mastery rocket sidearm and Archon’s Thunder machine gun revision.

As a seasoned Destiny 2 gamer with more hours logged than I care to admit, the news of yet another delay for Iron Banner has left me feeling like a kid waiting for Christmas…in July. The anticipation and excitement have been building ever since Episode Revenant dropped, and the thought of having to wait just a little bit longer is a tough pill to swallow.

Bungie shares that the initial run of Iron Banner in Destiny 2 will be delayed slightly, moving its start from early November to a few weeks later. This adjustment offers players a fresh debut timeline. With the recent release of Episode Revenant earlier this month and the swift arrival of Vesper’s Host dungeon activity, Destiny 2 enthusiasts have had an action-packed week.

Initially intended for new raids, Vesper’s Host was Destiny 2’s inaugural dungeon featuring a Contest Mode race. This mode presents an extra difficulty with tougher enemies and no power edge for players. Bungie guaranteed substantial rewards for those completing the challenge, including a certain drop of the returning Destiny 2 exotic, Ice Breaker. Now that Vesper’s Host is active, many Destiny 2 enthusiasts are eager to see what else is scheduled, although they must wait a bit longer for their first taste of Iron Banner.

On their official social media platform for Destiny 2, developers at Bungie have announced a shift in the schedule for Iron Banner. Contrary to the earlier speculation of its arrival in early November, Iron Banner will now debut on November 26 instead. The exact reasons behind this delay were not disclosed, but what we do know is that the competitive mode Control will be the initial mode available for Iron Banner, with a subsequent event featuring Destiny 2’s Tribute game mode to follow.

Destiny 2 Episode Revenant Iron Banner Start Date

  • November 26, 2024

Although some fans might find it disheartening, the latest Episode Revenant offers fresh equipment for gamers to pursue, including the Iron Intent armor sets that mirror gear suitable for a Medieval Knight, as Bungie has already revealed. Additionally, this event brings back Archon’s Thunder, a high-impact machine gun refurbished with new perks and Stasis element damage type. Lastly, a new Rocket Frame Sidearm for Destiny 2 players, known as Tinasha’s Mastery, will be introduced, also utilizing the Stasis damage type.

There’s a rumor circulating about an upcoming collaboration between Destiny 2 and Street Fighter. This potential partnership could bring new Ghost Shells, emotes, and finishers to the game. Over the last few years, Bungie has been actively involving popular IPs and franchises like Fortnite, Ghostbusters, Dungeons & Dragons, The Witcher, and more in their collaborations.
