In a first look withIGN,Destiny 2‘s newest PvP game mode,Survivalhas been revealed. The reveal comes with a 7 minute gameplay video on the new map Altar of Flame:
Survival pits guardians against each other in theCrucible, but with a finite amount of lives each team can expend. Here are the particulars of the game mode:
The Altar of Flame map shown in the vid is a very sniper friendly location on Mercury with a heavy ammo drop located in the dead center of the map.
Survival looks like a very welcome addition to the Crucible game modes and the fact that it makes death count should make for some intense combat situations and a heavy reliance on strategy.
Thoughts on the new Survival mode? The Destiny 2 beta was extended and wraps up today if you want to get some last licks in. Destiny 2 releases September 6th for the PS4 and Xbox One and October 24th on PC.

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
I was surprised to read permadeath too haha.
Lol it’s not a roguelike. People would cry bloody murder if that was the case. They used the word permadeath within the context of the game mode, of which the usage is accurate.
This obviously some new definition of “permadeath” of which I was previously unaware, where you can continue to use the same character, and any improvements accrued in the match, immediately afterward. In the traditional definition you would be saying “bye bye” to the character, and maybe your next character would get some sort of upgrade or unlock.
