While Expansions get most of the attention, Seasons keep Destiny 2 alive throughout the year. Yet Seasons have changed a lot. For years, 3-month Seasons were the norm. Episodes replaced Seasons last year. And now Seasons are back on the menu, except they’re now 6 months long.

* For clarity, Bungie’s 30th Anniversary pack was not technically a season. That said, it was more expensive than a Season and acted as a Season following the massive delay of the Witch Queen DLC.
If you’re unclear on what is still available in the game and what has been removed to put into the DCV, we cover all the content moved into the Destiny Content Vault here.
New Destiny 2 Season: Reclamation
Season: Reclamation, released alongside The Edge of Fate DLC, is the first 6-month season in this new Destiny 2 era. It is too early to tell how a 6-month Season compares to previous Seasons or Episodes, but expectations are high and Bungie can’t afford another year of slow updates…
Next Destiny 2 Season: Lawless
The content plan for the Year of Prophecy is clear. After Season: Reclamation, Season: Lawless will be released on December 2, 2025. We cover the Year of Prophecy Roadmap in detail here.
The Edge of Fate Roadmap, Destiny 2
What to Expect from a Season
This is everything you can expect from a Season in Destiny 2:
- New story missions
- A new seasonal activity
- New weapons (10+ per season)
- New armor sets
- A new (reprised) raid or dungeon
- New Portal activities
What not to expect from an Episode
Seasons might be a great value, but you can’t be surprised if some things are only released as part of the more expensive Yearly Destiny 2 Expansions. These are the pieces of content that are generally reserved for yearly Expansions:
- A new story campaign
- A new activity (like Nightmare Hunts or Empire Hunts)
- A brand-new raid
- A new destination
- A new element or subclass (like Stasis or Strand)
While Seasons all cost the same, $10, the same can’t be said about their quality levels. Some were real bangers, while others left a lot to be desired. That said, the quality of Seasons improved over time. We shall see if the new Seasons format delivers more value…
Just finished Season 23 quests. When will these new seasons start?
Great breakdown of the upcoming seasons! I’m really looking forward to the new power cap and the storyline developments. It’s exciting to see how they’re evolving the game. Thanks for keeping us updated!
