Destiny 2's Season of the Deep has dropped a major cutscene revealing the origins of The Witness, Black Pyramid ships, and The Traveler. The conflict began when a civilization tried to control and destroy The Traveler, leading to a mass suicide ritual that turned them into The Witness. This sets up the last two years of Destiny 2 heading into The Final Shape expansion.
Xur is back in Destiny 2 with Exotic gear for sale, including Sweet Business, Aeon Swift gauntlets, Lion Rampant leg armor, and Vesper of Radius armor. Xur can be found in the Winding Cove area of the EDZ. Xur also offers the Xenology quest, which requires players to complete 21 Vanguard strikes or win Crucible and Gambit matches to earn an Exotic Cipher.
Destiny 2's Season of the Deep has introduced a new dungeon, which will be available from May 26th. The dungeon is an endgame activity that offers a Raid-like experience but on a smaller scale. To unlock the dungeon, players will need to purchase the Lightfall Dungeon Key, which costs 2,000 Silver. The dungeon will provide its own Exotic weapon and collection of rewards to earn.
Destiny 2's Season of the Deep brings three new Exotic armor pieces for Warlocks, Titans, and Hunters. The Warlock's Cenotaph Mask reloads Trace Rifles and marks combatants, rewarding allies with Heavy ammo. The Titan's Arbor Warden creates grenades that explode and create a barricade at the impact location. The Hunter's Triton Vice makes the Glaive come alive with power and overflow with each foe they dispatch. The usefulness of the Titan Exotic is questionable, while the Warlock Exotic may become a go-to for endgame content.
Destiny 2's Season of the Deep introduces new missions, activities, and a dungeon, while the PlayStation collaboration brings premium cosmetics inspired by Sony's biggest games, including The Last of Us, God of War, Horizon, and Ghost of Tsushima.

Destiny 2's Season 21, Season of the Deep, is set to release on May 23, 2023, with major changes including a new dungeon, economy updates, weapon sandbox tuning, and abilities tuning. The new Strand Aspects for each class have been revealed, and a new NPA Repulsor Regulator will be introduced as the new Seasonal Artifact. Other quality of life improvements are also expected, with full patch notes to be released on or around the day of the update.
Destiny 2's Season of the Deep will bring changes to the Strand subclass, including the loss of powerful Strand mods that transform the subclass. The new mods coming in the next season are not as powerful, and there is nothing to make up for the lost elements of this season's builds. This could be a problem when there are no Strand seasonal mods in the future.
Destiny 2's Season of the Deep will feature Void and Arc builds, with new seasonal mods and exotic weapon and armor changes. Stasis is not a featured element this season. The article lists the new mods, void and arc exotics, and subclass changes to help players prepare their builds.
Bungie has greatly reduced the seasonal grind in Destiny 2's upcoming Season of the Deep, with no seasonal vendor grind, no power cap increase, and solutions to crafting grind. The focus will be on higher-end content such as new Dungeon, Nightfall, Trials, and possibly updated raid weapons, which will require a long-term grind for god rolls.
Destiny 2's Season of the Deep is set to release on May 23, which is less than two weeks after The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and a week before Diablo 4 early access. The game also faces competition from Final Fantasy XVI and Jedi Survivor. The author believes that Diablo 4 will be the biggest competition for Destiny 2 as both games share significant overlap in terms of their looting/farming ambitions. However, the author notes that Destiny seasons are not urgent, and players can jam a bunch of playtime into the last month of a season when there's little going on.
Destiny 2's upcoming Season of the Deep will feature underwater exploration and potentially even combat in the methane seas of Titan. While it's unclear how this will work in practice, it's possible that weight gravity boots/suit tech or anti-gravity mechanics could be employed. It's also uncertain how enemies will function in these segments, but the new addition is a welcome change from just getting old Patrol Titan back with no new additions.
Destiny 2's Season of the Deep will begin on May 23, bringing new weekly storylines, gameplay changes, and new armor. The storyline is still under wraps, but the teaser image hints at the return of Titan and Commander Sloane with a Taken-like arm. The new armor is thematically linked to the season and features flowing robes and choral armor pieces. Gameplay changes include upgrades to roaming Supers, new armor mods, and improved accessibility options. Older raid Exotics will also be easier to obtain, and a new dungeon is on the horizon.
Bungie is raising the price of the standard season pass for Destiny 2 from 1,000 Silver to 1,200 Silver starting with Season 21, Season of the Deep. The cost of the Season Pass plus 10 ranks bundle will also rise from 2,000 Silver to 2,200 Silver. The price increase is due to the team's investment in crafting compelling seasonal experiences for the year of Lightfall. Pricing will remain unchanged for the Lightfall standard edition and Lightfall + Annual Pass edition.
Starting with Season of the Deep, Destiny 2's standalone season pass will cost 1,200 Silver ($12), up from 1,000 Silver ($10), while the season pass bundle will cost 2,200 Silver ($22), up from 2,000 Silver ($20). The price change will not affect Lightfall purchasers or the Lightfall + Annual Pass edition. Bungie is also considering new approaches to post-launch content for the year of The Final Shape. The new season and price changes launch on May 23.
