It’s been a big week forDestiny 2fans, as Bungie revealed a ton of new information for the game, both in the short term as well as what’s coming over the next 12 months.
After plenty of teases over the past month, Bungie finally revealed the upcoming future ofDestiny 2, previously known as Codename Frontiers. July 15 will bring the first post-Light and Darkness Saga expansion to the game known as The Edge of Fate. While there’s still plenty of mystery left to uncover,Destiny 2:The Edge of Fate focuses on The Nine, a group which has been teased but is still largely unknown. Bungie is also planning major core changes toDestiny 2, one of which launches later today on May 9.
Starting on May 9 at the game’s daily reset, Bungie is launching a special Crucible event calledHeavy Metal. While thePvP side ofDestinyhas experimented with vehiclesin the past, this limited-time game mode puts them front and center. Players will be able to use Brigs and Drake tanks in these matches to spice things up and, better yet, new rewards are up for grabs, including the Gryphon Combat Sparrow, which finally gives players offensive weapons to use while riding around. Alongside a special Reward Track, players can also earn the Heavy Metal title and Mad Dog emblem.
Heavy Metal Launches Destiny 2’s Event Home
Previously, these limited-time events would come with Bungie’s Event Card system, showing the challenges and reward track from a menu. However, Bungie is introducing a completelynew feature called Event Home intoDestiny 2with Heavy Metal. Bungie calls it a one-stop shop for all things events, where players can see their daily and weekly challenges, the event overview, Event Rank track, and a new token system.

In addition to the Event Home and Edge of Fate news, Bungie went a step further and revealed the full year’s worth of content coming during the Year of Prophecy. While there are certainly plenty of missing details, theDestiny 2roadmap of contenthighlights both expansions as well as the major updates within each, including Ash & Iron and Shadow & Order.
