Destiny 2 Showcases New Content Coming on October 8

Key Takeaways

  • Destiny 2 Episode: Revenant Act 1’s entire story will be available when the new episode begins on October 8.
  • New content will include a tonic-brewing mechanic and Onslaught: Salvation, which brings new twists and increased difficulty.
  • The Vesper’s Host dungeon will launch on October 11, with a Twitch Rivals Dungeon Race taking place that same day.

As a seasoned Guardian with countless hours spent traversing the cosmos in Destiny 2, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming Episode: Revenant Act 1! The promise of an entire story available on day one is music to my ears, and the tonic brewing mechanic sounds like a fresh take on the attunement system from Into the Light.

Bungie has unveiled fresh content coming in the initial act of “Destiny 2’s” Revenant Episode, set to debut on October 8th. This upcoming episode follows directly after the final act of the Echoes Episode, where Destiny 2 players will be readying themselves to confront the armies led by Fikrul, commander of the undead Eliksni forces.

In line with Bungie’s announcement, every act in Episode: Revenant will offer its complete narrative right from launch day. This implies that players won’t have to wait for weekly story installments throughout each of the three acts of Revenant. The decision to make this change was based on a significant amount of feedback from players about the pace of the story in Destiny 2’s previous Episode: Echoes, which followed a similar narrative structure to the seasonal model that players had grown accustomed to.

As a devoted Destiny 2 gamer, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the upcoming Act 1 of Episode: Revenant, set to drop on October 8th. During Bungie’s latest developer livestream, we got an exclusive sneak peek at what’s in store, and it’s nothing short of exhilarating!

Destiny 2 Episode: Revenant Act 1 Will Bring Several New Content Additions on October 8

  • Episode: Revenant Act 1’s entire story will be available on day one.
  • New tonic brewing feature with limited-time combat buffs and bonuses
  • Onslaught: Salvation activity
  • New weapons, gear, and artifact perks
  • Vesper’s Host dungeon will launch three days later, on October 11.

As a hardcore Destiny 2 gamer, I’m super hyped for the upcoming version of Onslaught mode: Onslaught: Salvation! This fresh take promises three thrilling maps, an expansion of enemy factions like the Scorn and Shadow Legion, and exciting new twists to keep things fresh. One key difference from previous versions is that Onslaught: Salvation won’t be power-fixed, which means our weapons and gear will play a crucial role this time around. This makes the mode slightly more challenging than Into the Light’s Onslaught, but if we manage to get our hands on Revenant’s new weapons and make use of the new defensive measures, we’ll have a fighting chance. Bungie hasn’t unveiled the names of these new weapons yet, but they did confirm that one will be a badass double-firing Stasis grenade launcher! Bring it on, Guardians!

On Friday, October 11, exactly three days following the launch of Revenant, we’ll see the debut of the latest Vesper’s Host dungeon in Destiny 2. Bungie has kept quiet about further details regarding this dungeon, but they have revealed that the first-ever Dungeon Race with Twitch Rivals will feature Vesper’s Host. The Twitch Rivals Dungeon Race streaming event kicks off on October 11 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time.

Lastly, Bungie shared a few more details about Destiny 2 Codename: Frontiers, the new content model slated for 2025, near the end of the Revenant developer stream. The Codename: Frontiers model will have two medium-sized expansions per year, with the size of each expansion being comparable to 2016’s Destiny: Rise of Iron. Codename: Frontiers will also have four major free updates per year with a focus on “non-linear storytelling, systemic innovation, and enhanced core game activities,” according to Bungie.
