Destiny 2's new era begins in 2025 with the Year of Prophecy, which begins the Fate Saga of the franchise after the Light and Darkness Saga ended with The Final Shape expansion.
As part of Year of Prophecy, two main expansions will launch, called The Edge of Fate and Renegades. With the first one just around the corner, we know a bit about what to expect, including a new destination called Kepler, a new raid shortly after launch, and an all-new story that pushes the world's lore in new directions.
Basically, Destiny 2 isn't going anywhere any time soon, especially with two more expansions confirmed for 2026, called Shattered Cycle and The Alchemist. While the Light and Darkness Saga has ended, it seems as though the world of the Destiny franchise may just be getting started.
For now, though, here's what we know about when you can get your hands on D2's next big DLCs.
Destiny 2: Year of Prophecy release dates
There are several key dates to keep in mind when it comes to Destiny 2 in 2025, with even more dates to be revealed. But here are some big ones for you to mark on your calendar for this year.
Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate countdown
The newest expansion for Destiny 2, The Edge of Fate, is due to launch on July 15, 2025. If it's like other expansions, there will be some server downtime beforehand, and the game should be playable again starting at around 11am CT on that day.
Here's a countdown that ends exactly on July 15 at 11am CT:
The Edge of Fate seems to deal with time travel, including relics of the past and a mysterious new character named Lodai. Guardians must head to the edge of the Sol system to find Kepler, the new location, and unravel the mysteries within.
The new expansion will add new story missions, new locations to visit, new missions, new weapons and gear, a new Fallen enemy that can fly, a new raid launching on July 29, and more. Launch day is just the beginning for the expansion, with a large-scale update named Ash & Iron due to come out on Sept. 2, boasting new and reprised activities, new sandbox meta, new events, new modifiers and challenges, and new gear and artifact mods.
But that's not the last DLC coming for Destiny 2 in 2025. Oh no, we're just getting started, and up next we will go to a galaxy far, far away.
Destiny 2: Renegades countdown
The second expansion for Destiny 2 in 2025 is called Renegades, and it draws heavy inspiration from Star Wars. Characters can be seen holding Star Wars-like blasters and lightsabers, but the story will be true to Destiny's lore and world, and is an official partnership between Bungie and Lucasfilm Games.
Destiny 2: Renegades is scheduled to launch on Dec. 2, 2025 at around 11am CT. Here's a countdown until then:
Renegades will include a new dungeon, new story, new missions, new weapons, gear, and a bunch more when it drops to close out 2025, and another new year of Destiny 2 can begin again when the DLC's major update Shadow & Order arrives on March 3, 2026.
This article will be updated with more information whenever it becomes available.
