History of New Arcadia

New Arcadia is a Gambit map in Hellas Basin on Mars, reflecting the Golden Age look of the planet. It supports 8 players, first appeared in Season of the Drifter, and was also used in Gambit Prime. Layout details for it are limited. See also Deep Six.

Overview

Like every Gambit arena, New Arcadia is played between two teams of Guardians who bank Motes collected from enemies, send Blockers and invade the other team's side, until a Primeval is summoned and killed. The Drifter runs the mode from his ship.

History

Season of the Drifter (released 5 March 2019, part of Destiny 2: Forsaken) added two new Gambit maps alongside Gambit Prime and private Gambit matches. New Arcadia (Mars) is listed with Deep Six (Titan), Emerald Coast (Earth) and Legion's Folly (Nessus) as the Gambit Prime maps, and it is still listed among active Gambit maps. Beyond Light put Mars into the Destiny Content Vault. Whether New Arcadia is currently in rotation is not confirmed here.
