Bungie has also announced that a Hard Mode for the raid is also in the final stages of development and will be included in and update after the upcoming patch.
“We’re not going to spoil any hard mode surprises here,” Bungie wrote on an official blog post.
“You’ll need to learn a new trick or two, but given your past performances, we’re pretty sure plenty of you will find a way to come out on top and earn some shiny new trophies to take with you on your next adventure.”
