Nearly two weeks after the launch of Destiny 2's The Witch Queen expansion, six fiery disciples will gather in pyramids deep in the world of Throne for the Race of the Raids pledge. These fireteams fight against each other to be the first to fulfill the Disciple's Pledge within the first 24 hours of release, where a competition mode is enabled that allows all Guardians at 1530 Power for truly challenging encounters. locks up.
Thousands of teams raced on day one for the re-releases of Deep Stone Crypt Raid and Vault of Glass last year. With similar numbers expected for the launch of Disciples on March 5th, dedicated Red Race after parties are the best way to keep tabs on all the major players who will be streaming their runs.
The official Bungie Watch Party starts at 11:30 p.m. CT. The Pledge of Allegiance will go live 30 minutes later at 12 p.m. CT, and the raid race will begin. You can sign up for email updates on Watch Party's splash page ahead of time to make sure you're ready to go as the Guardians make their way up the pyramid.
As well as Bungie's own channels, several community streams will follow the race as it settles down as well. In a recent This Week at Bungie blog, the Destiny 2 developer specifically highlighted the 'Red Day tailgate' hosted by content creators ProfessorBroman and Rake1568. Professor Broman is a past Raid Race winner in the original Destiny and has been hosting Raid Day Tailgate since he stopped competing, with additional commentary highlighting the Twitch streams of various contestants throughout the day.
