Destiny 2 Finally Has Some New PvP Maps

Destiny 2 is continuing to add new content in the lead up to the release of The Final Shape expansion in June, and this time it's getting three brand-new maps for the Crucible, the game's PvP arena. The maps Eventide Labs, Dissonance, and Cirrus Plaza will be available on a 3v3 playlist called New Territory.

New Crucible maps have been few and far between in the last few years, so it's a big deal to have three new maps drop at once. Bungie showed off the new maps in a livestream in April, with each of them showcasing a region that has only been added into the game in the past few years.

The first, Eventide Labs, is set on the icy moon of Europa, introduced in the Beyond Light expansion. The map is set in an old research outpost now used as a refuelling station by Eramis. The cliffside map features a mix of natural structures and built features, with both old human architecture and Eliksni technology.

The Dissonance map is set on a Pyramid Ship in the aftermath of the Traveler's attack on the Witness at the start of the Lightfall expansion. Previously, these eerie environs could only be explored in the Root of Nightmares raid, but now players will have access to a similar map for PvP.

The third map Cirrus Plaza is set in what is essentially a shopping mall in the advanced city of Neomuna. Featuring an arcade, a restaurant, an aquarium, and a sweeping atrium, the symmetrically designed multi-level Cirrus Plaza will be an interesting setting for players' PvP battles.

All three of the new maps were specifically designed with 3v3 play in mind, but they will be available for all game modes in the Crucible. The three new maps can currently be played on the 3v3 New Territory playlist.
