No bungie has stated the official launch date. But given how previous raids have launched, my guess would be Friday, June 14th. That's just my guess.

Normally it’s the Friday after launch week

after final shape

June 6th i think

It’s basically always the 2nd weekend, but apparently they announced that this one will be the first weekend. There’s some storyline stuff they need to push along quickly.

Be 1965 light level

All due respect, but you're basically completely wrong. TFS will very specifically have a conclusion that is available and playable by all players and NOT just people who can raid. This has already been clarified specifically because of concerns about how past expansions have featured a conclusion that was locked behind a raid

Bungie has already confirmed that the confrontation with The Witness will take place in The Final Shape's raid, but also promised that non-raiders will experience the climax of the story in full, including the defeat of The Witness. (Assuming we win, of course.) Blackburn says that the denouement won't just be a cut-scene. He explains that whereas The Witch Queen and Lightfall campaigns each had eight missions, The Final Shape will ship with seven "on day one". The implication being that the eighth mission unlocks for everyone once the raid has been beaten. He also indicates that the format of that mission will be different to the boss encounters against Savathun and Calus from previous campaigns. "When we did The Witness it just didn't pass the sniff test, so we knew we needed a different strategy."

Calm your outrage, I think in an interview somebody said that when the raid is beaten, a final activity or mission opens where everyone experiences the ending.

Have you read literally anything about Final Shape.

Joe said, in like 5 different ways, INCLUDING IN THE MAIN REVEAL ITSELF, this isn't the case.

Raid team is not necessary to see the story end.

Also, shocker, you have to play content? To see the end?

Stay mad dude. Keep finding shit to be upset about. Learn to read.

Yea let me just boot up my Vex technology and go into the year 2024 to check

Literally how is anybody supposed to know. Who is the question directed at. Bungie themselves wouldn't even know since it's literally 2 years from now.

My guy, you need to stop being so obsessed with raids that don’t exist.

Your post history is hilarious, just talking about the same things. Try live in the now rather than constantly spoiling stuff for yourself.

One sec, let me grab my Crystal Ball...

It could be and I would assume that it will have several encounters.

Please seriously? we dont know nothing about next raid and you are asking about a raid that we'll see around 2024! 🤦‍♂️

Far right of the pale heart map, to the right of the salvation edge raid mission you will find the final mission..... (it's good)

Try talking to ikora

Did you do all the pale heart quests that give you the rest of your prismatic abilities?

I'm guessing it didn't process the Excision mission ending for you. If you go to launch it, is the only option "Narrative" ? If so, you'll have to run it again. If the replay difficulty is on the mission then you should just have to talk to ghost in the pale heart.

In case I need to specify, I got the actual ENDING cutscene. The one where u sit with your ghost on a ship, in front of the traveler and have Crow talk to Zavala about investigating the paracausal blips that flew to Nessus. Yet, it still says I didn’t complete the Campaign when I went to the helm

The excision activity is the "ending" of the story, and takes place after the raid. You do not need to have personally cleared the raid to see the ending.

Thank you everyone for the quick replies. I thought it was the raid but I see it says mission. I appreciate it!

The solo way is there. Play the campaign through on normal then start the mission on the far right of the Pale Heart. It’s called Excision and will pair you with 11 other Guardians to defeat the Witness

It's a 12 man matchmade mission tats outs already, called excision.

The raid is not required. Just the normal campaign missions and the new 12 man activity that opened once the worlds first groups beat the raid.

If you are having trouble with Iconoclasm or Dissent and aren't restricted because of (lack of) PS+, use fireteam finder. Don't feel bad even on the normal difficulty version. Iconoclasm sucks solo.

1. Kings fall and vault of glass raid are in legends tab

2. Raids are harder difficulty that HIGHLY recommends 6 players

The new one is found in the legends section under destinations in your director. Vault of glass is also located there, there’s one in the dreaming city, one on the throne world, one on Europa, and one on the moon.

You need a group of 6 to raid

There’s still dungeon keys with the special edition that says 2 dungeons per year. Not sure on raids.

Episodes are divided into acts that add new activities, loot etc. which last for 6 weeks if I ain't wrong. Every episode will have 3 acts, which will conclude into 3 content updates per episode

You’re also gonna need 5 other people in your party before starting it.

You'll need at least 300. The raid is on Nessus. There's a special spot on Nessus that you click on to load into it.

You can go "look at it" solo, but you won't be able to make any progress of course.

I don't wanna spoil anything, but there's multiple secret entrances that will let you explore the underbelly of the Leviathan. It's like a goddamn maze down there.

You have to beat the red war campaign, then the first raid will be located on nessus, area called nessus orbit. It has a 300 power level recommended though
