The centerpiece of this update is the Pantheon, a series of boss encounters designed to test the most seasoned Guardians. Players can now dive into Calus Resplendent and Morgeth Surpassing, with a third redacted activity scheduled to unlock this Saturday. These gauntlets are more than just nostalgia trips; they are the primary path to the prestigious Godsbane title. Starting next Tuesday, boss rotations will go into full effect, keeping the endgame loop fresh for those chasing world-class loot.
Competitive players should mark June 12 for the return of Trials of Osiris, which features a fundamental shift in how we farm gear. Bungie is moving to a three-map rotation per weekend, and all Trials weapons will now drop with attunement. This is a huge win for respect-your-time mechanics, making it significantly easier to focus the specific rolls you need for your PvP loadouts without fighting against layers of RNG.
On the balance side, Update 9.7.0 has brought some friction. The Howl of the Storm Titan Aspect has been temporarily disabled due to unforeseen issues, and the team is tracking a list of bugs across activities and gear. While this is noted as the last "big" patch before the game moves into a maintenance phase, Update 9.7.0.1 is already slated for June 18 to address these early launch hiccups. For the veterans, the Old Lights emblem distribution is ongoing, rewarding those who have stood by the City since the Red Legion first stripped our Light back in 2017.
