Amid raid leaks and revelations, Bungie took to Twitter to announce the upcoming raid for Destiny 2: Light would be called the Root of Nightmares–that begins on March 10 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. Players will have 48 hours after launch to complete the new raid in Competition mode.

Bungie’s official description reads: “Traveled from an unknown place and time, a haunting presence has been discovered.

Players first see Nightmare on the Moon in Destiny 2: Shadowkeep when the subsurface Pyramid ship awakens.
