Destiny 2: Season of the Haunted reveal trailer and details

Destiny 2’s 17th season, Season of the Haunted, is Guardians’ next adventure, Bungie revealed Tuesday morning. Season 17 will take players back to The Leviathan, a massive, planet-devouring ship that’s been the setting of many previous activities. Guardians will get the Solar 3.0 subclass rework and a new dungeon as a separate purchase. There’s also a lot of loot.

Before Beyond Light, The Leviathan and its owner, Emperor Calus of the Cabal, fled Nessus’ orbit and our solar system. The ship is now back, and has made its home on the Moon. It also took over its Nightmares. Players will board the ship to discover what’s going wrong, wield a powerful scythe, and “become the reaper.”

There are two new activities in this season’s second season. The first is Nightmare Containment, which is a free public event for all players and takes place on The Leviathan — likely in a free-roam area similar to the game’s other location, based on some image titles. Sever can only be obtained through the paid season. It takes place in the Leviathan’s underbelly and some old raid arenas. Players will need to remove the Nightmares from Calus’ control and discover what he’s up to.

The Trespasser Exotic Ark sidearm has returned to the original in terms of loot. DestinyIt comes from the Season Pass Track. There are also four new seasonal weapons (including what appears to be a Stasis trace rifle), and four weapons returning from Season of Opulence’s Menagerie activity.

Season of the Haunted is also getting some new event updates. Trials of Osiris will get new loot, and Iron Banner is getting a major overhaul — including the return of the Rift game mode, which is similar to Capture the Flag. Solstice is getting quality-of life improvements through the introduction of the Event Card system.

Season of the Haunted starts on May 24 — mere hours after this trailer’s debut — and will run until Aug. 23.
