Destiny 2’s next seasonal update looks set to be a big one, as it not only starts a new and ominous chapter for Bungie’s sci-fi sandbox, but also adds a sweeping number of technical overhauls. For Season 18, Bungie has kept a tight lid on what fans can expect over the next several months, a tactic that usually involves something major going down in the world of Destiny 2.
While story details are being kept secret, Bungie has confirmed a few of the changes that can be expected in Season 18.
Release date
Season 18 will start on August 23, and will be preceded by some downtime for maintenance. Bungie is hosting a new Destiny 2 showcase that day as well, so expect details on the season, future updates, and the first look at the next expansion, Lightfall, that day as well.
