Bungie provided some of the first details on their upcoming April update today during their live Twitch stream. Included in the stream was word that the max light level is getting a bump up to 335 (up from the current 320), a new strike, a recycled strike from Year 1, and the re-introduction of the Prison of Elders.
Next week, Bungie will show off some of the "new rewards" that players can expect to earn through the roll of the dice. Some quick glimpses from today's stream showed off some level 335 weapons that have a glowing skin option and a new Ghost shell.
NEW CHALLENGES
MAX LIGHT RAISED
New challenges demand that you become even more powerful to overcome them. Difficulty and Rewards have both been increased in Prison of Elders, Court of Oryx, Heroic Strikes, Nightfall Strikes, and in the King’s Fall Raid, as well as Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris.
RETURN TO THE PRISON
For the first time, face the Taken and eight updated bosses in a Level 41 version of Prison of Elders. Visit Variks to partake in a brand new mode, Challenge of the Elders, featuring scoring, weekly boss battles, gameplay twists, and rewards.
Claim an Elders’ Sigil from Variks each week in The Reef, and put your Fireteam to the test against three consecutive boss waves. The bosses and the gameplay modifiers change each week, for a total of sixteen unique encounters. Your score is tracked on the Elders’ Sigil, and on Bungie.net Leaderboards.
NEW QUEST FEATURING THE BLIGHTED CHALICE STRIKE
The Taken King is dead. Yet still his armies claw at our worlds. Even as you led the assault on the Dreadnaught, a powerful would-be Taken Prince fled for the safety of the shadows. Hunt him down before he grows too powerful.
TAKEN STRIKE: WINTER’S RUN
A cell, from the Prison of Elders! The Taken now corrupt this territory where the Fallen House of Winter once attempted to raise a powerful Archon Priest. Fight your way to the cell. Stop the Taken surge.
UPDATED DIFFICULTY & REWARDS FOR KING’S FALL & COURT OF ORYX
Kingsfall Normal drops increased to light level 320. Kingsfall Hard drops increased to light level 330. Court of Oryx Artifact Drops increased to light level 335
