This week at Bungie, we dove deep into feedback about all of the exciting things that have been happening in the game. As we continue to conquer the Nightmares that Calus and his army have to throw at us, we’ve got some next steps to share about Solar 3.0, an updated known issues list for players to track with so many new things being introduced, and a special tribute to our community that we think you’ll find welcome.

The last week has been filled with dangers lurking at every corner. Whether it’s confronting our fears in the newest Duality dungeon or getting a little spicy with the recent Solar 3.0 update, there is a healthy dose of newness for Guardians to take on. But before we dive into what’s next for Solar, let’s talk about Iron Banner and Rift’s launch.

This week at Bungie, we geared up and set out to answer the ultimate question. The question that matters more than anything else: Is the Moon haunted? Well, that’s for you to decide, but while you’re knocking that around in your noggin’, we’ve got some exciting things to share for Season of the Haunted, including preparing for the new dungeon that drops on Friday, brand-new activities, and even more surprises to uncover.

We know the wait was tough, but the team here could not be more excited. Sure, we’ve got the meme behind the new name, but this Season also houses a deeper look into the minds of some of our favorite characters, while also challenging Guardians to find their courage once more and persevere no matter what, especially when facing down twisted Nightmares of the past. So, what are we showing off today? Well, how about we start with a second look at the trailer you’ve all been so patiently waiting for, and then dig in more on some gear of the Season, a breakdown on how to get the Solar 3.0 Fragments, shiny new ornaments inspired by the subclass upgrade, and even a little rap surprise from one of our community members.

There is also a larger portion for the Known Issues section where we are highlighting the most common issues we are seeing while the team continues to work on addressing the bugs being reported.

Excited? Yeah, me too. Let’s dive in, shall we? To read more, check out the full blog post here.

Driven by an insatiable lust for power, Calus seeks the approval of a new master. His once-opulent ship, now derelict and corrupted, has returned to our galaxy—its sights set on the power promised by the Pyramid ship lying dormant on the Moon.




As the Leviathan forms a connection with the Pyramid, Nightmares of humanity’s past awaken and threaten to torment any who dare intervene. Stare into the abyss and find bravery within the mantle of the reaper and the steel of the scythe. 




To better respond to the imminent threat, the H.E.L.M. has engaged its mobile command center capabilities and is now running dark within the Moon’s orbit.




Evil resonates within the hull of the emperor’s wretched vessel. Summon the most challenging Nightmares and cleanse them with fire.




Navigate the Leviathan’s labyrinthine Underbelly, uncover the truth behind Calus’s sinister plan, and sever the Nightmares he controls. 




Solar becomes the latest subclass to receive a complete redesign empowered by the ultra-customizable Aspects and Fragments system. Light the flames of creativity, discover new builds, and prove that there’s never a bad time to fight fire with fire.







Wield Shiro-4's Exotic Sidearm and let lightning flash across the tarnished gold of the Leviathan’s twisted halls.




Reap a host of legendary armaments and fabled weaponry last seen within the emperor’s coveted collection.




Ghostly glowing Guardians carrying the Light into the shadows of the Moon – you are the nightmare your enemies fear.




Collect new Season of the Haunted ornament sets and become a gleaming bulwark of fire and steel.

This week at Bungie, Guardian Games is coming to a close, and we’re but days away from a new Season.

That’s right Guardian Games is nearing its end. Warlocks are dominating as of this writing. Will they hold on for their first Guardian Games victory? Only time will tell. Actually, not true—our social media channels will also tell. And you might be able to do the math by visiting the podium in the Tower, as they might have such a commanding lead that Titans and Hunters couldn’t possibly catch up to their space magic.

We’re just a few days out from a new Season. We’ve covered quite a few systematic changes coming to Destiny 2. Sandbox changes, ritual reputation changes, and a few other details on how gameplay in general will be updated. Many of you (and when I say many, I mean almost every single one of you) have been asking about the new stuff. What is Season of [Redacted] all about? What’s the next challenge our Guardians are about to face? What’s going on with [Redacted] and their [Redacted]!? Where’s the trailer?! Which subclass is getting the 3.0 treatment!?!

There will be a day where many of your questions will be answered, but today is not that day. It’s a scary, but fun, balancing act in the grand scheme of things. I’ve said it before, but player discovery is one of the most potent things in gaming. Do we spill the details in TWABs and tweets, or do we hold things a bit closer to the chest with each Season to let players dig in on day-one and find out some cool things in the game itself?

If you’d like to go dark, this should be one of the last Bungie communications you read before Tuesday at 10 AM Pacific. If you’d like to get a quick taste before launch, tune in a bit earlier on Tuesday morning and keep an eye out for a countdown for our next trailer.

So, what will be our final TWAB before launch? We’ve got some details on how Seasonal Events will be evolving, a quick spoiler free patch note preview, a rundown on when our next dungeon is going live, and a preview of upcoming Trials of Osiris armor sets. Keep an eye out for our Player Support section too, as we’ll be breaking down the timelines for Destiny 2 Update 4.1.0 (which kicks off Season of [Redacted] on Tuesday)!

This week at Bungie, we think it’s time we talk about Iron Banner, check out the new PvP Map, and show introduce the Cosplay Cosmodrome. Trust us, it’s really cool.

Lord Saladin continues to show why he has the mettle to inspire the likes of people like Zavala. His inner strength has once more become a vital part of the evolving Destiny 2 narrative, and the team thought that it was high time that his Iron Banner event reflected his resurgence in the story. That, and Rift is back, baby, alongside a brand-new map! We also have a nifty new initiative we’re calling Cosplay Cosmodrome, and an update from our specialist team that has been digging deep into the perplexing world of... emails.

But first, Iron Banner. To read more, check out the full TWAB here.

Before we get into it, we wanted to take a moment to reiterate talk about the commitment we made as a company earlier this week in response to the leaked draft decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. Standing up for reproductive choice and liberty is not a difficult decision to make, and we remain dedicated to upholding these values. You can read our full statement here.

This week at Bungie, the third annual Guardian Games have begun.

Welcome back sports fans! The Guardian Games have commenced, and Hunters Warlocks have taken the lead. But it's still early in this three-week competition and it’s anyone’s game.

Every single Community Focus has mattered. Every single Guardian offers something unique to our community and this is our way of saying thank you for being a part of it. With our latest Community Focus, it’s going to get a little bit personal.

As a gamer with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - a nervous system disease that affects mobility, coordination, vision, and more - and a former journalist who has covered the ways the disabled perspective and the gaming industry intersect, I've always been deeply passionate about furthering accessibility within video games. For that reason, it is my immense pleasure to introduce Grant Stoner: a writer you might have seen in some of the biggest publications in the world, like IGN and Fanbyte, that has been loud and proud when it comes to educating this space on what it means to say, “gaming is for all.”

He's also a total beast when it comes to kickin' some foe butt in Destiny 2. Learn more about his journey with our ongoing Community Focus series right here.

This week at Bungie, we’ve been heads down making sure Season 17 is poised to rock ‘n roll and recovering from that whopper of a TWAB last week. I’m not going to lie, I really struggled writing this, only because the previous one by DMG dropped lots of solid info about sandbox changes, weapon tweaks, and more. This TWAB will be less extensive, but we hope you enjoy what we’ve got lined up to talk about this week. That, and we still have a few surprises up that proverbial sleeve, but we want to keep some aspects of what is next under wraps. We don’t want to ruin the surprise, after all.

This week, we’re talking about the return of our yearly tradition which is the Guardian Games. Each year, Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans go head-to-head to prove who is the boss (even though it’s clearly Titans). Hunters took the gold last year, so Warlocks and fellow Titans, it’s time to suit up. This year, we’re changing things up a bit.

We’ll also be talking more about Season 17 reward changes, pool rotations, and more. So, without further ado, let’s get into it. Read more here.

This week at Bungie, we seem to have written a short novel about upcoming weapon sandbox changes.

Hello, dear reader. I’d like to kick this TWAB off with a quick word of advice; never end your drafting phase with your introduction. I’ve been kicking this thing around for about 15 minutes now, trying to figure out the best way to launch you into yet another Mega-TWAB worth of sandbox information. We’ve got quite a few changes planned for next Season, and we’re excited to start spreading the word.

Let’s keep our conversation about the live game short and sweet, shall we? It’s an interesting week, to say the least! Master difficulty for Vow of the Disciple has kicked off, with just a few short weeks left before Guardians begin to claim their raid titles. Grandmasters continue to push the limits of player skill, buildcrafting, and general gameplay strategy. Iron Banner has come and gone, but Trials of Osiris returns this Friday with some light changes to the post-Flawless experience. There’s still quite a bit to do, especially if you’re trying to finish off each fresh Triumph released with The Witch Queen and Season of the Risen. All said, we’re having a good time, and we hope you are too.

Even with a solid launch in our sails, the winds of change will always catch up to Destiny. As mentioned, we’ll be talking about how those winds are shifting the sands of our weapons sandbox. Some of you know the Destiny sandbox like the back of your hands. In some cases, well enough to release a forty-five-minute video about the intricacies of Shotguns. Well, do we have some changes ready for you...

I’ve been known to recommend grabbing a drink of water and a snack for larger TWABs, and this is no different. Take this at your own pace, have a good time, and ask questions once you’re through. Our community and sandbox teams will be at the ready to issue clarifications as we can, and will follow up in future posts, TWAB’s, or other means of communication if necessary.
