The Year of Prophecy introduces a new format for yearly updates. According to Bungie, "Starting with the Year of Prophecy, each year will now feature four major content beats: two paid expansions and two major updates accessible to all players." These updates will bring new events, Exotic Missions, gear, rewards, and more. Importantly, this new structure ensures that seasonal activities are available to everyone, allowing all players to enjoy Destiny 2’s major updates.
The Edge of Fate Launches July 15
Kicking off the Year of Prophecy, Destiny 2's first expansion, The Edge of Fate, will launch on July 15. Players will embark on an adventure to a new destination, Kepler, and harness new abilities with the help of fresh allies.
This update introduces the Portal, a new activity selection screen designed to streamline gameplay. It offers instant access to a variety of activities tailored to different playstyles, making it easier for players to find their next adventure. Additionally, there will be significant changes to the game’s armor and tiering systems, new set bonuses, and a rework of character stats. Bungie will release more details in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for updates.
