Destiny 2: Revenant launches today, placing Guardians in the role of Slayer Baron. The goal this season is to take on the leader, Fikrul, as he leads an undead Scorn army.
Today's release includes all of the story content for Act I. This means you won't have to wait for the content to be drip fed to you each week. This way, you can rush through the story content in the first day and then complain for weeks about not having anything to do, just like it used to be.
Some new features and content added in this new season include Tonic brewing, Onslaught: Salvation, new weapons, Artifact perks, a new earnable Skimmer, and more.
Today, Destiny 2: Revenant launches, where Guardians will take up the mantle of ‘Slayer Baron’ as they take on the leader of an undead Scorn army, Fikrul, now empowered by an Echo formed after the defeat of the Witness in The Final Shape.
This Episode is truly chilling, featuring more Stasis mods than ever and icy Exotic armor updates for all Stasis wielders. Players will earn the new vampiric inspired Exotic Stasis Grenade Launcher, Alethonym, which supports fireteams by providing ammo for their Special and Heavy weapons. Onslaught: Salvation introduces three new maps to the activity, Widow’s Court, Eventide Ruins, and Kell’s Grave, and adds new defensive upgrades to dominate the battlefield, such as airstrikes and rideable turrets. Players can also look forward to the eerie Festival of the Lost in-game celebration, returning on October 29.
