  • Destiny 2: Heresy Act 1 Launches Next Week with Star Wars Collaboration

    Use the forks, Guardian. Use the forks. That's what they say, right?
    Key art for Destiny 2: Heresy Act 1. The image shows three sci-fi Guardians firing weapons and blasting out abilities against enemies on a floating rock in front of them. The background depicts a large alien ship and behind it looms a three-eyed alien with horns. There are several tentacles and chains floating around in space throughout the entire image.

    Bungie held a developer stream today where members of the team talked about and showed off some of the upcoming content for Act 1 of Destiny 2: Heresy. This new season (or episode or whatever it's called now) kicks off on February 4, 2025, which is just one week away from the time of this article going live.

    Today's stream showcased a return to the Dreadnaught, the highly memorable Hive ship from the original Destiny. We also got a quick look at or at least a mention of some familiar pals and enemies. There was also the discovery of a new Echo.

    The new seasonal activity was shown off called The Nether. Of course, there was also a look at some new weapons, new gear, new subclass aspects, and a bit about the new Sundered Doctrine Dungeon and its accompanying world's first race. That new dungeon will be out on February 7.

    Destiny 2: Heresy will also introduce some Star Wars-themed cosmetic items. A collaboration between Bungie and Lucasfilm Games will add in full armor cosmetics inspired by troopers and royal guards in the Galactic Empire. There will be some additional Star Wars cosmetics sold, but specifics were not shared. These items will be sold, for real money, when Destiny 2: Heresy launches on February 4.

    For those who like to help charity, Bungie also offers up new details on Game2Give 2025 and the Bungie Foundation's involvement. Details on that can be found below along with an embed of today's developer stream.


    Game2Give 2025 has officially launched, bringing together the Bungie Foundation community and 200 top creators to make a significant impact. This annual initiative supports the Bungie Foundation's mission to improve children's well-being, uplift underrepresented communities, and provide aid to global communities in need. Donation incentives for this year include a new exclusive emblem, emote, and sparrow, with additional emblems returning with the emblem vault, giving players a chance to grab fan favorites from the past. The event features live streams with fun challenges, exclusive giveaways, and an auction for rare items, culminating in a major livestream on February 6.

    Game2Give is also supporting communities affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires with an exclusive pre-order shirt and emblem bundle, which will donate a minimum of $15 per order to the California Fire Foundation and Direct Relief. More information can be found in last week's This Week in Destiny blog. Visit www.game2give.com for more information on Game2Give and to find out how to donate to the Bungie Foundation.

      Like the first game, we're left wanting more.

      When Destiny first launched in late 2014, it was something special, almost magical. Bungie and Activision created a new franchise that let players explore parts of our Solar System from their couches, forge new friendships, take down massive enemies, and feel akin to comic book superheroes. However, that game was not without its faults. At launch, the game lacked much in the way of in-game story, opting instead to send the...
