Corruption Subclass Concept – August 9
Longtime Destiny content creator Kujay has conceptualised a new subclass/damage type called Corruption, taking inspiration from The Hive and Thorn.
Sure, it’s not from Bungie, but it’s a great watch nonetheless – will Witch Queen bring a new element?
Ability Changes Detailed – August 6
In this week’s blog post, Bungie has revealed players can expect huge changes to Destiny 2’s abilities, regardless of class or subclass.
Find out more here.
No PvP Maps In Season 15 – August 5
In a lengthy tweet thread from Joe Blackburn, Destiny 2’s Assistant Game Director has been discussing the potential for new Crucible maps.
Blackburn explains that the team has been working on the game’s PvP foundation first, and will add reprised Destiny 1 maps in Season 16, and a new map in Season 17. New modes are slated for 2022.
Epilogue Leaks Early? – August 4
Season of the Splicer is getting an epilogue, which we’ve known about for some time. However, it sounds as though it might have been under our noses for a while.
Cross-Play Info Revealed – July 30
Bungie’s latest blog post has revealed how cross-play will work in Season 15.
Looking Back At The ‘Notepad Leak’ – July 27
A few months ago, a big ‘leak’ revealed plenty of news about upcoming Destiny content.
We dug through it today, and there’s plenty to unpack.
Datamined Exotic? – July 23
Ginsor, a longtime Destiny data miner, has shared a tweet saying “Thermobaric Greaves”, suggesting a potential new piece of armour.
The only class that wears ‘Greaves’ are Titans, and Thermobaric suggests a Solar focus. Could we get a new Solar set of leg armour for Titans in the new Season?
Transmog Changes Confirmed – July 23
This week’s blog post has revealed that Transmog is getting a facelift. There will still be a cap on your transmog opportunities, but you won’t need to earn Synstrand. Instead, you’ll be able to buy Synthcord bounties from Ada-1 using 10,000 Glimmer.
Destiny 2 Season 15 Release Date
Season of the Splicer runs until August 24, meaning we’re some way off the next season.
Still, Bungie had suggested more news is coming this Summer, so we could hear more before then.
What’s interesting is that while seasons have traditionally run for three months, The Witch Queen isn’t arriving until 2022 – suggesting that either we’re due a very long season in the interim, or we’ll get an extra one beforehand.
Bungie has announced that they will hold an event on August 24 to reveal some exciting news about the future of Destiny. It’s most likely related to The Witch Queen, but with all the story developments going on right now, which will likely lead directly into whatever happens in Witch Queen; you certainly don’t want to miss this particular show.
Destiny 2 Season 15 Story
We’ve had a Vex-focused season and a Cabal-focused season, but Season 15 could be focused on any of the races.
Savathun, Destiny 2’s next ‘big bad’, is likely to make her influence felt, with some rumours suggesting that she’s already infiltrated the Tower.
In the last few months, we’ve heard Crow, Shaxx, Lakshmi-2, Osiris and more humming Savathun’s song. In Season of the Splicer, it could be heard from the people of the city, too. In fact, the Vanguard is in a pretty strange place right now.
In fact, one lore piece suggests that Savathun is already inside the city, which means things could start barrelling toward The Witch Queen very quickly.
As part of Season of the Splicer, we took out Quria, The Dreaming Mind. That’s caused some celebration in the Last City, but it feels as though there’s more to come before Season 15.
An early ‘leak’ had suggested the next season will focus on the Dreaming City, with Mara returning.
Destiny 2 Season 15 SIVA Theme
Many have been wondering if Season 15 will reintroduce SIVA, but we’re not convinced. Here are our thoughts.
Destiny 2 Season 15 Content
Each season has added at least one new seasonal activity. Season of the Chosen’s Battlegrounds were great fun, and Override and Expunge are off to a good start in Season of the Splicer.
We could get new Legend Lost Sectors on other destinations, and we’ll also get more weekly challenges.
We also know that Bungie is introducing activity streaks for Vanguard activities, as well as a fresh reputation system.
Trials of Osiris is also said to be getting a revised rewards structure, working in tandem with a potential reputation refresh.
One rumour suggests that Bungie is testing destructible environments (thanks, Forbes). You can check it out below, with trees that can be destroyed:
Destiny 2 Crossplay
Hooray! Crossplay will arrive across all platforms in Season 15, meaning Guardians can all play together – whether they’re on PlayStation, Xbox or PC.
In a new blog post, Bungie revealed that PvE will allow cross-play between all platforms (and Stadia!), but that PC gamers will be in their own matchmaking pool for PvP.
Destiny 2 Season 15 Roadmap
We haven’t got the roadmap for the new season yet, but expect plenty of familiar events.
Iron Banner, Trials of Osiris, and likely the return of Festival of the Lost in time for Halloween.
Bungie has done a great job of rolling out content weekly, including story content, so expect regular content drops.
Destiny 2 Season 15 Price
If you’ve got the deluxe version of Beyond Light, then you’ll have access to all seasons heading into Witch Queen – that’s seasons 13, 14 and 15.
If not, you can buy Season Passes with Silver. It works out at around £10, but plenty of content will be free for all players.
Destiny 2 Season 15 Season Pass
Destiny’s Season Passes come in premium and free versions, but both will award players armour, engrams, materials and reputation boosters – but you’ll get more in the premium track.
Stasis Weapons
Bungie has confirmed that more Stasis weapons, a la Cryosthesis, are coming.
Stasis will become a damage type just like Solar, Void and Arc, although this one is likely to be more controversial given Stasis’ reputation since it arrived.
Exotics and Gear
Each season pass adds a new exotic, meaning it’ll be available for redemption when purchasing the paid pass – or reaching tier 35 on the free pass.
Bungie has also been re-adding Destiny 1 exotics, like the Vex Mythoclast. It’ll be interesting to see if any old favourites are about to make a comeback.
The developer has also confirmed a change to Nightfall rotations. There will be eight weapons to earn, with one new weapon and one older one rotating in and out.
Bungie gave the example of one week offering The Comedian and Shadow Price, with the next offering Hothead and Hung Jury.
Ginsor, a longtime Destiny data miner, has shared a tweet saying “Thermobaric Greaves”, suggesting a potential new piece of armour.
