Destiny 2 Fate Saga Roadmap Revealed Into 2026
Bungie has revealed its plans for the next long story arc for Destiny 2. The developers have revealed a “multi-year saga” in the form of the Fate Saga. The beginning of this new chapter of Destiny’s story, there will be four expansions to start us off known as the Year of Prophecy.
Starting on July 15, 2025 with The Edge of Fate, players will journey to the mysterious planetoid Kepler and find more questions than answers about the universe at large. After that on December 2, 2025, we will get the expansion Renegades. As per Bungie’s new content roadmap plans, there will now be two expansions a year going forward. So now with more densely-packed expansions than what players have seen with Episodes and less waiting time, more content will be seen quickly rather than the 1-2 year gap between expansions as before.
In between each expansion there will also be what Bungie is dubbing “Major Updates,” with overhauls to the sandbox, new events, modifier and challenge updates, new gear and Artifact mods, and more. On September 9, 2025, the first major update of the Season of Reclamation, titled Ash & Iron, will release. Then, as part of Renegades and the Season of Lawless, the Shadow & Order update will drop on March 3, 2026. The most-enticing detail here is that each major update will not cost anything, nor will it be vaulted or taken away. Major updates will be free to all Destiny 2 players, and the content they bring will always be part of the game at large. These updates will be approximately the size of the Into the Light seasonal update with lots of events and new content to find.
That’s not all, as we already have names for the next expansions for the Year of Prophecy going into 2026 as well. Shattered Cycle will launch in Summer 2026. Finally, in Winter 2026 will be the finale of the Year of Prophecy, The Alchemist.
Bungie have said they promise to show lots of new destinations, new gameplay features, and even some returning favorites. Included among all of the massive updates coming starting this July is a customizable difficulty for destinations, which we detail in this article here.
