Yesterday, Bungie dropped some pretty big news on how it’ll be handling new seasons in Year 3 of Destiny 2.
With four seasons planned in Year 3, each one will kick off with a new seasonal event, the first being Season of the Undying which will begin with the events of the Shadowkeep expansion.
Every player will be able to see how the universe of Destiny changes during each season, and at the end of it the collective actions of all Destiny 2 players will cause the world state to change. However, those who purchase a Season Pass will have access to a “seasonal matchmade activity” which allows them to get “that extra level of sweet gear”.
