One of the big changes coming to Destiny 2 after The Final Shape will be Episodes, a big shake-up to the post-launch content of the game. While Destiny 2 has used a seasonal structure for several years now, usually four over a one-year period, Episodes will be three larger slices of content that add new rewards over several weeks.
Destiny 2’s first set of Episodes
Echoes, Revenant, and Heresy are the first Episodes arriving after The Final Shape launches and deal with the fallout of that expansion. Each episode has been designed to be a standalone experience that can be played in any order regardless of your experience with Destiny 2, and Bungie says these will provide the foundation for the future of the game.
Episodes will provide new ways to engage with Destiny 2, creating innovative experiences that help define the next stage of Destiny 2’s evolution. Each Episode will be split into three Acts–with a new Act releasing every six weeks–and contain new stories, quests, activities, weapons, artifact mods, pass ranks, and other rewards.
