Da, comrade!
Bungie has just dropped the trailer for Destiny 2’s next season, which we now know is called Season of the Seraph. It kicks off later today at reset time (10:00 AM PST, 1:00 PM EST, 6:00 PM GMT). Until this video arrived almost nothing official was known about the season, leading to quite a bit of grumbling from players about the studio’s preference for hype-building secrecy over clear communication.
As had been rumoured by lore watchers, the season is themed around the return of the warmind Rasputin, an incredibly powerful militarized AI with a penchant for opera. The old rascal had been stashed in an engram following the pyramid fleet’s invasion of the Solar System, which fried his defences. It looks to me like we’re going to spend the next couple of months restoring him, seemingly culminating in transferring his consciousness to an exo body
I want to post this quickly so am not going to do a voluminous frame-by-frame breakdown of the footage, but the things that jumped out to me are the inclusion of new Ikelos weapons (which will presumably be also able to generate Warmind Cells), and the suggestion that the new dungeon may be set on Europa—or perhaps in orbit over it. I’m basing that off the fact that Clovis Bray is narrating.
Season of the Seraph runs from 6 December to 28 February, which is when Lighfall, the next major expansion, lands.
