Destiny 2: New Crucible Map Vostok Revealed

4.9

Destiny PvP players will be pleased to find that today’s new Destiny 2 reveal includes the unveiling of a new Crucible map by the name of Vostok. Destiny PvE players will be pleased to hear that Vostok officially takes place within the same area as the Rise of Iron social area.

High atop Felwinter Peak, across from the Iron Temple, lies the Vostok Observatory. It’s here that players will do battle in Destiny 2‘s Crucible, a layered reminder of the past.

Bungie Environment Artist Jeff Horal gives a guided tour of Vostok in the latest IGN exclusive Destiny 2 video, the first time players will get a look at the snowy map. The preview is accompanied by two new 5-minute gameplay videos featuring Destiny 2‘s Titan Striker subclass and the Warlock Dawnblade subclass. Playing the reworked Control gametype, detailed in yesterday’s new Destiny 2 info drop, the gameplay shows how Vostok is all about making the most of fortified and defensive positioning.

Rise of Iron players will recognize several of these buildings that serve as defensive bastions from the opening mission of the expansion. There’s the gondola station, the observatory, and the fort that’s located in front of the bridge leading to the Iron Temple.
