Just a few hours ago, Bungie went on Twitch to open the lid on Destiny 2 seasons and what it means for the shared-world shooter. Now if you weren’t able to catch the livestream, or just wanted a condense version, you’ve come to the right place! 

Thanks to the fine folks over on the Destiny subreddit, a bulletpoint breakdown can be read that focuses on the important stuff. We’ve broken it down to two slide pages since it’s super long. Just for clarity’s sake, we’re currently in season 1, and there will be four  seasons in the first year of Destiny 2.

  • Expansion 1 – Winter 2017 aka Curse of Osiris DLC
  • Seasons:
    • Max level so that old/smaller clans have a chance vs only larger more active clans to dominate. Keeps everything on a more fair level.

    • Goals:
    • More predictable time tables (what to expect and when)
    • Destiny 2 year 1: 4 seasons
    • Make big changes to the game
