Destiny Gets the Trials of Osiris Game Mode as Standard Playlist

Those who have played Destiny's Trials of Osiris multiplayer mode in the House of Wolves expansion know how tense that game type can be. However, it does not have teammate matchmaking, and so players must enter with two friends.

In response, developer Bungie has made Elimination a standard playlist with teammate matchmaking enabled in Destiny's Crucible player vs. player arena. This allows players to get the same game type as Trials of Osiris even if they don't have anyone to play with or own the House of Wolves expansion.

As detailed on Bungie's website, Elimination is a 3 vs. 3 mode in which two teams square off, each player with only one life. The goal is to eliminate the other team. Games are the best of nine rounds. Unfortunately, this game type will not have the same special rewards as Trials of Osiris, and instead loot will drop like other standard Crucible playlists. Level advantages, enabled in Trials of Osiris, will be disabled in this mode. Additionally, Elimination will cycle through all of the Crucible maps.

Recently, Destiny's next expansion was reportedly leaked, titled The Taken King. According to the leaked details, it will contain a new raid, new strikes, and a new subclass for each Guardian class. The expansion is rumored to launch in September.
