New Nightfall, Challenges, and Rewards

Updated November 14, 2023: Another week has come for Destiny 2, which means missions, challenges, and rewards have been reset. Two weeks remain in the current season, giving players a limited time to wrap up any outstanding tasks and challenges, or claiming the weapons and armor as well. There’s still plenty of uncertainty going into the recently revealed Season of the Wish, with many fans hoping that Destiny 2‘s future becomes a little less cloudy over the next 14 days.

Part of the problem is Bungie’s lack of clarification to this point, as plenty of reports have indicated The Final Shape expansion has been delayed into the summer of 2024, making Season of the Wish unnaturally long in scope. However, at the time of writing, The Final Shape still lists February 27, 2024 as its release date on the Bungie website, so while its unknown what next year is going to look like at this point, many fans are worried that Season of the Wish could feel stagnant if Bungie doesn’t have additional content to fill the added gaps. Either way, clarification will likely be coming sooner rather than later.

Season of the Witch Activities

Season of the Witch is Hive focused as Eris Morn channels Xivu Arath to bring the conflict to a head.

Two new matchmade seasonal activities are also available, with the first being Altars of Summoning, where players present offerings to summon foes that are increasing in challenge and difficulty.
