destiny 2 year 8

Destiny 2: Year 8 (20242025) What We Know So Far As of mid-2024, Destiny 2 is entering its eighth year following The Final Shape expansion (released June 2024). While Bungie has not yet fully detailed Year 8s roadmap, heres what we know or can speculate based on past patterns and recent announcements: Post-Final Shape Content (Year 8 Seasons) Seasonal Model: Expect four seasons (as in previous years), each introducing new story arcs, activities, weapons, and a battle pass. Story Focus: Likely dealing with the aftermath of The Final Shape and new threats emerging in the Light and Darkness sagas wake. Episodes: Bungie may continue the "Episode" format introduced in The Final Shape (three acts per Episode, replacing traditional seasons). Potential Major Updates New Raid/Dungeons: At least one new raid and two dungeons are expected (one with each major expansion). Sandbox Changes: Balance updates for subclasses, weapons (e.g., nerfs/buffs to meta picks like Rocket Launchers or Hand Cannons). Quality-of-Life (QoL): Improvements to crafting, inventory management, or in-game LFG tools. Rumors & Speculation Vex Mythoclast Rework? Community buzz suggests a potential rework for this iconic weapon. New Enemy Faction: Possible introduction of a faction tied to the post-Witness era. Returning Locations: Old destinations like Europa or the Dreadnaught (from Destiny 1) could resurface. Future Expansions Bungie has hinted that The Final Shape is the end of the "Light and Darkness Saga," but not Destiny 2 itself. Year 8 may set up a new overarching narrative. Key Dates (Estimated) Season 24: Late 2024 (if following the Episode model). Next Expansion (Year 9): Possibly revealed at The Game Awards 2024 or a 2025 showcase.
