In September, Bungie announced they would approach the Destiny 2 live-service content cycle in four chunks each year. Starting in 2025, the new model of one bigger annual expansion will give way to two smaller expansions per year. Within these two expansions will be two updates. As the company moves away from episodic releases, this new strain of content will be a change of pace for players but one that hopefully results in an equally enjoyable reason to keep playing. Here’s the latest on the new update, Destiny 2: Revenant.

Destiny 2: Revenant tasks players and their Guardians to take up the mantle of Slayer Baron as they take on the leader of an undead Scorn army, Fikrul. This leader is empowered by an Echo formed after the defeat of the Witness in The Final Shape, the last major content update to Destiny 2. Revenant releases with all of Act I’s story content available on day one and includes new features and content, including Tonic brewing, Onslaught: Salvation, new weapons and Artifact perks, a new earnable Skimmer, and more.

This Episode features more Stasis mods than ever and icy Exotic armor updates for all Stasis wielders. Players can earn the new vampiric-inspired Exotic Stasis Grenade Launcher, Alethonym, which supports fire teams by providing ammo for their Special and Heavy weapons. Onslaught: Salvation introduces three new maps to the activity, Widow’s Court, Eventide Ruins, and Kell’s Grave, and adds new defensive upgrades to dominate the battlefield, such as airstrikes and rideable turrets. Players can also look forward to the eerie Festival of the Lost in-game celebration, returning on October 29.

The new dungeon, Vesper’s Host, launches this Friday, October 11, alongside Destiny 2’s first-ever official Dungeon Race. Whether this model works for Destiny 2 players is yet to be seen, but as someone who has always admired the game, I hope things work out for the team and its community.
