The new season's premise is that Zavala and the rest of the Guardians have come to a shaky truce with the Cabal with Caiatl at the helm. That future is very much seen in the Beyond Light expansion's newest season with the latest development of the Proving questline alongside Caiatl, Calus' daughter. With a move that should have ended in disaster by killing the fan-favorite Hunter Vanguard Cayde-6, this DLC was a catalyst for a brighter future. Much like the Taken King expansion did for the first game, Forsaken took the tale Bungie was trying to tell to a much deeper place. While not the first expansion for the sequel, it was the first expansion to breathe fresh life into the Destiny community truly. The turn for the better first began with the Forsaken DLC. From there, the team had more freedom to realize the vision they had to the start, not an experience reliant upon microtransactions and half-cocked content.


Then, Bungie announced it was officially separating itself from Activision, the publisher at the head of Destiny 2's launch. The first year post-launch was a hellscape, filled with a community fed up with paywalls and apologies to do better from the studio. While Bungie came right out of the gate with a fleshed-out story that resonated with fans of the space shooter, the endgame content was paltry at best. When Destiny 2 first launched, the feedback left little to be desired. Season of the Chosen is vital for many reasons, with the most important one being that it marks a significant turning point for Bungie and the future of the series. Destiny 2 Season of the Chosen Roadmapĭestiny 2 Season of the Chosen runs from February 9th through May 11th.Destiny 2 Season of the Chosen is inching closer to closer towards completion, but this week's step in the Proving storyline featured an incredibly satisfying apex of narrative design that left many feeling pleasantly shocked by this game's turn of events.
DESTINY 2 SEASON OF THE CHOSEN FULL
You can get a look at the full roadmap for the Season below, but keep in mind Bungie likes to keep some things secret, so this is by no means exhaustive. This will be the Seasonal Event, and the usual February Crimson Days celebration is being retired for now. Guardian Games is returning, running from April 20th to May 9th, along with a “Closing Ceremonies” May 7-9th. And players can use the Prismatic Recaster to focus Umbral Engrams and target what gear they earn. More than 25 weapons are being added to the loot pool for the season-including both new and reissued weapons. The Exotic Bow Ticuu’s Redemption has solar arrows that can track targets. An Exotic Quest is currently, redacted, though the imagery makes it appear to be a Tex Mechanica weapon of some sort. Of course, it wouldn’t be Destiny without gear to chase, and there’s plenty coming. Both are Cosmodrome strikes that make use of the returned location from Destiny 1. If they follow a similar pattern to the Will of Crota strike that returned alongside Beyond Light, expect them to be a little bit updated and recontextualized to fit in with the current story and state of the world. strikes are also returning from Destiny 1. The Cabal incursion threatens the safety of The Last City, and a new Strike called Proving Grounds (coming later in the Season) will have players be the last line of defense. The new Activity for the Season is called Battlegrounds, a three-player matchmade activity that sets Guardians in ritual combat against the Cabal following the breakdown of negotiations with the Vanguard. It seems to be a space where Zavala looks to bring honor back to the shattered Vanguard. It’s described as “the ultimate Vanguard staging ground” and seems to finally move the Vanguard operations away from the temporary Tower setup (that we’ve been in for the last three years) to this new, more official location. Season of the Chosen is bringing players an all-new social space called H.E.L.M.
