At the Destiny 2 Showcase, Bungie has revealed that Season 18 (Season of Plunder)’s raid will be King’s Fall returning from its predecessor on August 26, 2022. Alongside the King’s Fall raid, Season 18 will also be featuring the return of Eramis, who has escaped from an icy prison. You will have to stop her with your Drifter and your crew. Watch the reveal trailers here:

From within the furthest reaches of the Hive Dreadnaught, Oryx draws on the power of Darkness. Infiltrate the lair of the Taken King and seize the weapons and armor within.

Eramis, awoken from her icy prison by a Dark benefactor, has rallied old pirate lords of Eliksni legend to assist her in recovering lost relics of great power… unless you plunder them first. There is no horizon to reach, no edge to your map, but there most certainly is treasure. Assemble your crew, Guardian. 

Engage in ship-to-ship combat to stop Eramis and her pirate crew from wreaking chaos across the galaxy in this new 6-player activity.

Apart from this, the developers have also revealed that all the previous Destiny 2 expansions up until Lightfall are all free-to-play for the entire week on all platforms. Destiny 2 Season 18 starts today, August 23, with Patch 6.20. The game is available for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Google Stadia, and PC.
