Bungie officially revealed the 13th season of Destiny 2 today and adds new attacks, armor sets, and a handmade activity called Battlegrounds. Chosen Season also check where Destiny 2 he began by leading the Empress of the Cabal Caiatl as the main villain.
This is the first time that players have come to see Caiatl, daughter of Calus, former emperor of the Cabal and Destiny 2The head of the original raid, instead of reading only about it in off-screen knowledge dumps. Chosen Season starts with the new empress suggesting an alliance with the vanguard to fight the growing threat of the mysterious black pyramids and the god Hive Xivu Arath. Negotiations are apparently broken down, although they force Zavala and his colleagues. in another confrontation with Destination ‘s race of invaded Goombas.
Here is the trailer:
In terms of content, season 13 adds the following:
- The Devil’s Lair and Fallen SABER Strikes from Destination 1
- A new strike called Proving Grounds that takes place in the last city and is unlocked later in the season.
- A set of seasonal armor called Governor
- An exotic arch called Divination of Ticuu
- An activity done by three-player matches called Battlegrounds
- The return of the Guardian Games event
- A new staging area for activities called the HELM
This adds to some things that Bungie revealed earlier renewed booty on the Moon and the City of Dreams, new ritual weapons from each of the three main sellers of the Tower, and the return of threshold engrams and prismatic recasterization. Osiris booty trials is also being reviewed. If that means the “more than 25 exotic, legendary, and ritual weapons” promised by Bungie in season 13, you’ll feel enough to see.
Destiny 2 it feels a little squeezed right now, as its sunset mechanic makes older computers obsolete faster than a new booty can be added. It doesn’t help that much of season 13, at least initially, seems to be based on old content from the previous game and previous seasons. Combine questions around this with the news that some of the players’ favorite weapons will be baffled and I have a lot of skepticism about the direction of the game next season.
I hope you prove me wrong. Chosen Season is released live next week on February 9th and runs through May 11th.
