Bungie has revealed that Destiny 2's Trials of the Nine is being put on ice 'indefinitely.'

The 3v3 elimination mode has been on hiatus since during Season 4 of the shared-world shooter sequel, although it doesn't seem like it'll be making a comeback for quite a while yet.

You may remember the feature was introduced back in 2015, when it was known as Trials of Osiris for the original Destiny. However, Bungie admitted that revamping it for the sequel didn't really work out as well as it had hoped.

'The new activity wasn’t achieving the goal of bringing the community together every weekend,' said the company. 'Both Destiny and the online PvP scene have evolved since 2015, so we don’t believe that bringing back the 2015 version of Trials of Osiris would accomplish what our goals are today.'

Bungie is now the captain of its own ship as far as Destiny goes, having split with publishing partner Activision after nine years. Apparently, the series was not performing as well as the company had expected.
