Destiny 2's big Into the Light update, an interim patch to catch players up and tide them over in the lead-up to The Final Shape expansion, is coming April 9, and I don't say this lightly, Guardians, but its headlining activity might be the horde mode we've wanted for years.
As Bungie explained during a reveal stream today, Into the Light is built around a new game mode called Onslaught. It's a three-player activity available to all players – no season pass required – that comes with a normal playlist with 10 waves, and a challenge variant with five sets of 10 waves for a total of 50. It's also possible to opt-in for a solo run, though associate designer Noah Lee thinks it's "impossible" to solo. The short version and lower-difficulty challenge version have matchmaking, but you'll need a pre-made team for the Grandmaster-style high-tier challenge version.
