Note: Concept Art, Not actually Seasonal artwork

Torch has been passed from team who made Destiny 2 to the team that is maintaining (The Live Team)

• Live Team's goals:

• New reasons to keep playing

• New pursuites, rituals, and challenges.

• And more..

• Examples: Iron Banner, Faction Rally's, etc.

• Expansion 1 - Winter 2017 aka Osiris DLC

Seasons

• Max level so that old/smaller clans have a chance vs only larger more active clans to dominate. Keeps everything on a more fair level.

• Seasons have themes associated with them. They take feedback from the community for adding and adjusting things such as new emotes, rewards, etc.

Goals

• More predictable time tables (what to expect and when)

• Destiny 2 year 1: 4 seasons

• Make big changes to the game

• Sandbox tuning, new features, more content

• Big patches to change the meta, etc.

Season 2: The Dawning

• Season 2: The Dawning will make a return shortly after the launch.

• Ice Hockey will be enabled

• Other Easter Eggs

• You can have snowball fights

• Event affects will be throughout the world, not just the social space.

• Armor, Weapons, Shaders, and possibly emotes will come

Armor

Iron Banner

• 1,500 YEARS worth of time played between all guardians.

• Learned how we interacted with the loot system. Will be changes to loot such as letting us direct purchase guns via tokens and legendary shards.

• Unlock ornaments via gameplay vs tokens for some events in the future.

• Heard community feedback of wanting rewards more meaningful.

• One more Iron Banner in Season 1.
