The 17th season of Destiny 2 is coming to its end, and players are waiting for the next season and all the new things that come with it. Apart from some minor details, Bungie has kept the major information about the new season, like its theme, a mystery that will be unraveled hours before the season starts. So you’ve come to the right place if you are wondering when Destiny 2 Season 18 starts so that you can play it the minute it’s online.
When Does Season 18 of Destiny 2 Start?
Destiny 2 Season 18 will start on August 23 and be preceded by some downtime for maintenance. Bungie is also hosting a new showcase where it will show everything to expect from the new season of Destiny 2.
As for the story of Season 18, Bungie is keeping its card pretty close to the chest. We don’t know much about the new season’s story except a brief synopsis that hinted something terrible would happen in the new season. You can read the full description below:
It has arrived. As we prepare for fate to unfold, the people of the Last City look to the stars–to us–for hope, and while we have triumphed in the face of impossible odds before, this time feels different. But if there is to be no escape, our story will be one of courage, one of the legends.
On the other hand, Bungie shared some more information about Arc 3.0. The studio explained this subclass is designed to offer maximum mobility and power. Players can buff their skills with the amplified effect to hit enemies harder and faster.
