Bungie released their plans for raids in Destiny 2 in 2025, but a lack of mention for Wrath of the Machine has led to further dwindling of any hopes for its return. Wrath of the Machine was originally released on September 23, 2016, as part of vanilla Destiny’s last expansion, Rise of Iron. From a chaotic World’s first run to Datto and its team figuring out the World’s First Outbreak Prime, this raid holds a special place in the hearts of Destiny fans.
As such, they have been asking for it to be reprised for a while now. However, on September 25, 2024, Bungie announced plans for raids with Frontiers and claimed there’ll be just one raid every year that’ll be released at the very beginning. This seems like a final nail in the coffin for any chances of Wrath of the Machine returning to Destiny 2 as a reprised raid.
The developers stated that they’ll focus more on Pantheon towards the end of an expansion by adding challenges to already existing raids. This is definitely a surprise since after Vault of Glass, Crota’s End, and King’s Fall were all reprised, it only seems natural for Wrath of the Machine to return. However, the content overhaul from Bungie has seemingly pushed this raid out of their plans.
