Destiny 2: Guardian Games 2023 is here

Greetings, Guardians. We are happy to welcome Guardian Games back today! Players can enjoy the celebrations of their favorite classes as well as friendly competitions between Guardians from May 2 until May 23. We’ve got new rewards, a returning game mode, class-based matchmaking, and another shot at getting the statue in the Tower. There’s no sleeping on the dream, so let’s get into it!

Heavy Medal

Medals will always be the focus. Earn medallions for your favourite activities that you can bank in the Tower. It’s not just about who has the most medallions by the end of each day.

Do you want to work extra for your classes? We’ve got you covered. You can pick up a contender card from Eva Levante (the OG GG) and get some gold or platinum medals to show off for your team. Winners will receive bragging rights and a statue commemorating their class that is displayed in the Tower throughout the year. Don’t be afraid to go for it. You can win if you go for it.

Bullseye

It’s time now for precision, Guardian. The Supremacy Crucible is returning to Guardian Games in 2023. This high-speed Crucible mode will have you aiming at your target and hitting them to capture their crest.

What Are Ya Playin’?

In addition to all your favorite activities rewarding medallions, we’ve got some more ways to band together and earn medallions with your fellow Guardians.

First up, we’ve got the classic Guardian Games playlist featuring Battlegrounds and strikes that should be familiar to veteran players and a new way to play for newer Guardians. There are three ways of playing the playlist: recreational, training, and competitive.

Recreational is where you’ll get your bearings and get ready for the trials and tribulations of the other playlists. The Guardian Games Recreational playlist is available every day and will have scoring enabled. Once you’ve had enough time to stretch in the Recreational playlist, you’ll want to head over to the Training playlist.

In the Training playlist, you’ll find one strike available each week. Scoring will be enabled, so throw on that build that makes everything explode—looking at you Void Titans—and pump those numbers up.

Guardian Games’ Competitive Playlist is not to be left behind. Now this isn’t a playlist to mess around with – this is for those that want a challenge and some extra gear. This playlist is only up during the weekend, scoring is available and here’s the kicker: certain scores mean more rewards. Make your mark in this playlist and take home the hardware back to the Tower to show other classes what they’re missing.

Enjoyable Party Favors

It wouldn’t be a party without gifts, right? We’ve got you covered with new rewards up for grabs:

• Taraxippos – Can you be-weave it? Just for Guardian Games, a Strand Scout Rifle with a loaded and locked barrel!
• The title – You know it, you love it, you might even have one, but if you don’t, you’ll want to pick up this exclusive Guardian Games Legendary Submachine Gun before the event ends.
• New Cosmetics – Show up to the party in new cosmetics and ensure your fireteam will never ask, “Is that what you’re wearing?” again.
• The New Armor Decorations – If you’re going to win, you have to win in style. We’ve got some new threads in the Eververse ready for your perusal.
• There’s more!

Continue to High Role

Know your role, and do it well. To turn up the heat on the competition a little bit, we’re introducing class-based matchmaking for the event. Whether you’re dicing deep into the Guardian Games playlist or want or showing rival classes how you roll in Supremacy, you can match up with other Guardians in your class.

Keep it classy, Guardian

Guardian Games celebrates what it is to be a Guardian. The Guardians of the World will compete from Paris to Texas for the prize that is the most coveted: the beautiful Statue in the Tower. And bragging rights for a whole year, naturally.

Enjoy yourself. I’ll be out there trying to make my fellow Titans proud. You should be there too, doing the same thing for your class.
