The Witch Queen is now live, and alongside this new expansion comes a brand-new Season, with Bungie now revealing the Destiny 2 Season of the Risen overview! From February to May, players will have the chance to earn tons of new rewards and participate and new events, so head down below to check out everything new in this Season of the Risen.
Here’s a short overview opener on the Season of the Risen for Destiny 2 straight from Bungie:
They Rise
The Witch Queen has stolen the Light. Her Hive army charges across the battlefield, gnashing at your armor before succumbing to the power of your fireteam. The Ghosts of your vanquished foes hover silently, an ominous portent of a battle with no end. In a matter of moments too short to catch your breath, the horde rises before you and charges again.
Eyes up, Guardian.
Fight for the Light
Armed with Light-suppressing technology shared by Empress Caiatl, we will stand against the Witch Queen’s growing army. And in the face of unimaginable odds, we will triumph. For even though the Lucent Brood may rise, Guardians never fall.
Red Alert
The H.E.L.M. has been upgraded with the tactical tools needed to face a new and unrelenting enemy. Plan your psionic special operations and gain the advantage in the war for the Light.
Here are some of the new stuff coming in this new Season:
- MATCHMADE ACTIVITY – PsiOps Battlegrounds Battle through the Witch Queen’s army on multiple destinations. Cut through the horde, make your way to her Hive lieutenants, and stop the unstoppable.
