Bungie just revealed their Year of Prophecy for Destiny 2. During a big reveal livestream, Bungie announced two expansion, various core game updates, major seasonal updates, and more that will be out over the next year.
The next chapter is called Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate, which Bungie says will set "the stage for a new saga: the Fate Saga." The Edge of Fate is the first expansion and it will have players uncovering "one of Destiny 2's biggest mysteries." The Nine will "play a central role in this storyline."
The Year of Prophecy and The Edge of Fate expansion kick off on July 15, 2025.
When The Edge of Fate releases on July 15, players will be reintroduced to the Nine, powerful and mysterious beings who existed long before the Traveler, and face a new threat that predates everything Guardians know about Sol. Two major characters will step into the spotlight: Lodi, a new ally from a distant place, and the legendary Warlock Vanguard Ikora. The Edge of Fate will propel Guardians into a multiyear saga that will unfold across multiple expansions.
A key feature of Kepler is the abundant dark matter energy, which powers the abilities available to the Guardian while exploring the destination. The new Matterspark ability allows Guardians to bind to dark matter to change forms, enabling them to squeeze through tight spaces, jump and dash across terrain, and become a rolling force of destruction. Additional abilities include the new Relocator Cannon, which uses Fallen dark matter tech to teleport players across the environment, and Mattermorph, which lets Guardians manipulate their surroundings using the combined forces of dark matter and Strand.
Bungie also announced Destiny 2: Renegades. This will be the second expansion for the year, and it is expected to be released on on December 2, 2025. Destiny 2: Renegades is an entire expansion based on a collaboration with Star Wars. Yep, that's the point we're at now.
The reveal featured a brief cinematic teaser showcasing Renegades, a definitive Destiny 2 Expansion with a narrative integral to the Fate Saga, while also suffused with inspiration from and homage to Star Wars. Renegades will introduce new Destiny characters, innovative activities, and evolved mechanics designed to surprise and delight players.
“With each of our Fate Saga Expansions, we’re looking to break from our past formulas and deliver something truly unique, and Renegades is no exception,” said Justin Truman, Destiny Vice President. “It’s a Destiny story at heart, but with a Star Wars-inspired take that’s been a dream for us to explore.”

Starting today, the Rite of the Nine event is live for all players. This event is a good way for new and veteran players to experience some of Destiny 2's dungeons. The three featured dungeons are: Prophecy, Spire of the Watcher, and Ghosts of the Deep. This event will add "unique twists to familiar encounters, including refreshed dungeon weapons with a striking Nine-inspired look."
Rite of the Nine serves as a prologue for The Edge of Fate. Players will again be in contact with "the mysterious Emissary of the Nine," Orin.
