On June 5, 2018, Bungie revealed the Forsaken expansion and further plans for the second year of Destiny 2. However, they have also specified the goals for the rest of the first year. Here’s what Guardians can expect in the summer of 2018.
Alongside the autumn expansion “Forsaken” and its plans for the next year of Destiny 2, Bungie has also provided more details on what fans can expect by the end of Year 1.
The first year is coming to an end over the course of the summer, culminating in the “Solstice of Heroes” update, before Destiny 2 then enters its second year with the Forsaken expansion in September.
Solstice of Heroes – What Guardians can expect in the summer
To clearly communicate their plans, Bungie has now released another roadmap update. According to the update, version 1.2.3 is scheduled for July 17, 2018, and includes the following new features:
- The end of Year 1 will be celebrated with the seasonal event “Solstice of Heroes”
- For PvP enthusiasts, the 6v6 Quickplay will be introduced to the Crucible
- The Rumble playlist will be permanently added to the Crucible
- Public Events return
- The two raid lairs of the Leviathan raid will get prestige modes
- The long-awaited clan text chat comes to PC
- Additional sandbox changes for exotic armors are coming
- With the Year 1 Triumphs, Guardians will have something to do at the conclusion of the first year
Year 2 begins with “Forsaken”
On September 4, the Forsaken expansion will presumably kick off the second year of Destiny 2. In addition to the expansion itself, fans can expect these features:
- Armor collections
- In-game Triumphs
- Changes to weapon slots
- Random rolls on weapons
- Update to the mod system
- Mass deletion of shaders
- A new Crucible mode
- Four new Crucible maps

Additional content is expected to be incorporated into the game throughout the second year as part of the annual pass.
