Bungie finally announced the next reprised raid coming to Destiny 2, starting next week…and it’s Crota’s End. Yes, many were expecting Wrath of the Machine from Rise of Iron, but at least this fits the Hive theme of Season of the Witch. Regardless, a new raid means a World First race with Contest Mode enabled.

Bungie appears to have done something very, very right with Destiny 2: Season of the Witch, according to the community. After a number of fumbles stemming from Lightfall‘s release onwards, it looked like the studio just couldn’t catch a break with Destiny 2. Now, thankfully, things appear to have settled down, and players seem pretty happy with Season 22’s key novelties.

The Season of the Witch is upon us in Destiny 2. The new season comes fresh off the heels of the Destiny Showcase event, which has the community happier than they have been in a long time. Unfortunately, the Season of the Witch also brought a new unintended threat with it. It’s not the Witness or a Hive bigshot. It’s the Warlock’s Strand Aspect.

Preorder bonuses include exotic items and a unique emote.

The exciting Destiny 2 Season of the Witch is happening right now, but the upcoming Crota's End Raid is not here just yet, but all good things come to those who wait! Bungie, the game developer, is bringing back this famous raid from the original Destiny game for Season 22. However, it won't be exactly the same as before. There are some new twists to make it, dare we say, much more interesting.

Destiny 2: Season of the Witch is the game’s twenty-second season and one of the last before The Final Shape expansion is released in 2024. In it, players will explore a Hive-focused season and story that will take them beyond the realms of possibility and help them unlock the secrets of The Witness and The Traveler.

Destiny 2‘s The Final Shape reveal has come and gone, and, as it turns out, the community isn’t too thrilled about it. Due to launch on February 27, 2024, the long-awaited The Final Shape expansion pack is supposed to fully wrap up the franchise’s seminal Light and Dark saga. With the clash between the two primordial forces officially coming to a close and/or cooling off into a state of equilibrium, some Destiny fans may have expected Bungie to go all-out with a new elemental subclass, a new race of enemies to fight, and more. That, however, isn’t happening for the most part.

Destiny 2 is an MMO and, just like any online game, is subject to various server errors that can impact players. These errors almost always have a code associated with them, making it easy to diagnose the problem and fix it.

If you’ve found yourself lost within Bungie’s chaotic, whimsical world, then you know just how much content Destiny 2 carries. During a recent showcase, Bungie revealed a variety of upcoming features from The Final Shape, bringing even more depth to the expansive game. From an incredibly personal story to a dynamic environment that responds to the player’s history, the developer is packing a huge release.

The reprised raid will kick off with a World First race for Destiny 2's top fireteams.

A number of quality-of-life updates are coming in Seasons 22 and 23, making it easier for you to play with your friends--or make new ones--no matter your level.

Here's how to make an offering in Altars of Summoning and complete the seasonal activity.

The Altar of Summonings is where you’ll be empowering Eris with her newfound Hive magic during Destiny 2’s Season of the Witch. Here, you’ll be conjuring up a variety of enemies to defeat, fueling Eris and her magical powers, and preparing her for the upcoming battle against Xivu Arath, who needs to be defeated by recruiting Savathun for her battle against The Witness.

Here's how to get Insight to unlock Opaque Cards in Season of the Witch.

Bungie officially revealed the details for its upcoming Destiny 2 DLC The Final Shape today, the conclusion of its “Light and Darkness” saga that started all the way back in 2014. The Final Shape will debut on Feb. 27.

Bungie has given Destiny 2's next expansion, The Final Shape, a thorough unveiling, confirming it'll whisk players to the «infinite, vast, unknowable» Pale Heart within the Traveler when it launches on 27th February next year.

Destiny 2’s Season of the Witch has arrived, and your Guardian will be working alongside Eris to prepare for war against Xivu Arath, the Hive Goddess of War. Defeating Xivu Arath is a requirement from Savathun before her Ghost brings her back to life, giving her a chance to redeem herself and fight against the Witness. For Season of the Witch, this season’s quest is called The Bladed Path.

At the 2023 Destiny Showcase on Tuesday, Bungie announced (and launched) a brand new season of the game.

On Tuesday, Bungie officially unveiled Destiny 2: The Final Shape in its yearly Destiny Showcase. We got a glimpse at the cinematic trailer, a look into the new location (which is inside the mysterious traveler), the “return” of Cayde-6, and so much more. Bungie also dove into what’s happening to Destiny 2 once the studio ends the “Light and Darkness saga” in 2024.

Bungie just wrapped up a showcase in which it pulled the curtain back on The Final Shape, the concluding expansion in the saga that has been running since Destiny launched way back in 2014. Last week, game director Joe Blackburn was at pains to point out that this livestream was intended to appeal to as broad an audience as possible, but when you've got developers giddily dropping lines like: «The Witness wants to use the Pale Heart of The Traveller to enact the Final Shape», I think it's fair to say that there's still quite a lot to unpick, even for veteran players like me. Having watched the showcase, here's the stuff that stood out.

Bungie is making a big change to the way it tells stories in Destiny 2. The seasonal model the game has employed so far is being dropped in favor of «episodes,» which will provide players with larger chunks of standalone storytelling that the studio says will deliver «a new, innovative way for players to engage with Destiny 2 throughout the year.»

The next expansion for Bungie's Destiny 2 is coming next February. Titled "The Final Shape," the continuation of the MMOFPS storyline takes players inside the Traveler itself. Also coming are new Episodes, replacing the current Seasonal model for Destiny 2.

We’ve known for a while now that Destiny 2 developer Bungie has been bringing players closer and closer to the end of the War of Light and Darkness. Now, the studio has formally unveiled The Final Shape, the expansion concluding this decade-long story arc, and it launches on February 27, 2024.

The Deck of Whispers is a unique mechanic coming to Destiny 2. It comes with the Season of the Witch, where the Guardians take the fight to Xivu Arath, the Hive Goddess of War. How they’re doing it with Eris is by transforming her into a Hive. As you progress through the season, you’re going to unlock cards for the Deck of Whispers.

Destiny 2's big 2023 showcase has unveiled what's to come in The Final Shape expansion, the Season of the Witch that starts today, and perhaps most importantly, what's due in 2024 as a new Episode model replaces the seasons that the MMO has had (and been struggling with) for years.  

While players will no doubt grind tithes to provide Eris Morn in Destiny 2’s Season of the Witch, everyone can look forward to the next reprised raid on September 1st. Contrary to expectations, it’s Crota’s End from The Dark Below, with players venturing to the Moon to take on the Hive Prince and Son of Oryx.

You're tasked with nothing less than stopping The Witness from remaking the universe, and have to enter the Traveler itself to save the day.

Destiny 2‘s Season 22 is launching on August 22, and the community has some admittedly sensible expectations for some of its key content. Namely, one of Destiny‘s most important features has always been its trademark Bungie gunplay, which naturally ties into the game’s weaponry. One of the reasons why Destiny 2: Lightfall missed its mark was because the DLC’s main weapon set consisted of slightly remodeled and re-skinned Shadowkeep weapons, leaving a bad taste for some players.

Bungie has announced that it'll be hosting its annual Destiny 2 Showcase next week, on the 22nd August. Naturally, it'll feature fresh info on The Final Shape — the shooter's next expansion — Season 22 of the game, the next reprised raid, and «more».

It’s hardly a secret that Destiny 2 and Bungie are in a bit of a pickle right now. Most years, the big “State of the Game” blogs used to signal big batches of positive changes coming to the game with the next paid DLC. This did not happen this time around.
