Final FormThe Pale Heart is the new destination within The Traveler. The destination is a mashup of multiple locations we’ve seen in the past as well as some completely new architecture. It’s a nostalgia play, and Bungie isn’t being coy about it.

Final Form’s destination will also unfold differently than other new locales. The Pale Heart is not patrolled before the campaign ends. Players have “a job to do” on day one, and the game will only serve up missions to players until the campaign is over.

Original gameplay is a favorite among many veterans. Destiny 1. tower will seemingly act as the player hub for the location — standing in stark opposition to The Witness’ Monolith citadel.

Season of the Witch

Season of the Witch has players trying to revive Savathun the Witch Queen. They must first deal with Xivu Arath’s sister before they are able to do so. Eris transforms herself into a Hive in order to solve the problem.

The Deck of Whispers is a brand new system that will enhance how the players utilize their abilities and skills throughout the year.

New seasons are not coming.Destiny 2, a sequel to the popular Destiny 1.Three different episodes will be released four times each year. The three-act episodes each have new Artifacts, levels of the season pass, weapons and other features. The season pass will include a unique Exotic for each episode, as well as a fresh Exotic mission.

These Episodes will also be divorced from the game’s main story and should — theoretically — be playable in any order. Bungie did clarify in an after stream Q&A that these are only replacing seasons, and that the studio’s developers still want to create the big, exciting content players love.

Nobody said the word “expansion,” but it was heavily hinted that players will see something similar to another Destiny expansion in the year following The final shape.
