Destiny Rising Season 3 introduces Bulwark Ops
If you are looking for a break from traditional raiding, a new tower defense mode called Bulwark Ops is set to launch on December 30, 2025.
This mode adds a tactical layer to the gunplay, allowing players to tackle up to 30 waves of enemies either solo or in three player co-op. You will need to earn points by taking down targets to purchase and strategically place defensive towers that help hold the line.
Each battlefield features different environmental hazards, so adapting your tower placement to the terrain will be key to surviving the final waves.
Unlocking Kabr the Resolute
Character collection is also getting a boost this season with the introduction of Kabr the Resolute. In a move to give back to the community, this powerful Mythic Arc character can be added to your roster for free by completing specific in game activities during the season.
It is a solid opportunity for players to strengthen their elemental builds without having to rely on luck, adding one of the franchises most legendary figures to the current lineup of playable heroes.

About Destiny Rising
Destiny Rising serves as a major expansion of the franchise universe, developed as a licensed cross platform RPG shooter. While it carries the familiar DNA of the series, it is set in a unique timeline that explores the era following the Collapse.
This setting allows the game to introduce a diverse cast of characters, known as Reborn, who are discovering their powers in a world that is much more untamed than what fans might remember from the core titles.
The game is built to bridge the gap between mobile and PC play, offering high fidelity graphics and the signature fluid movement that the series is known for. Players can engage in various modes ranging from casual exploration to high stakes competitive strikes.
By focusing on hero based mechanics and expanding the lore of the early City Age, the title provides a fresh entry point for newcomers while giving long time veterans a different way to experience the struggle against the darkness.
