Destiny 2According to an announcement by Bungie on Tuesday morning, Guardians will again face the cabal in the final season. The studio has published more details about Season of the Chosen on its website, including a roadmap showing when players can expect new content to appear in the game.
On February 9, Bungie launches Season of the Chosen. Players can immediately start two of the new seasonal Battlegrounds events and jump into the returning Devil’s Lair and Fallen SABER Strikes. Players can also start a quest for a new Stasis aspect on opening day, allowing Guardians to further customize their latest subclass.
February 12 marks the first day of a new Trials season. As Bungie teased last week, Trials of Osiris is coming with a new set of armor and weapons for Season 13. It is currently unclear whether players will be able to re-earn existing Trials of Osiris loot, or if all of the loot has disappeared.

On February 16, a new battlefield will be opened in the Cosmodrome. February 23 marks the return of Iron Banner and sees the release of the final battlefield – which looks like it could be on Mercury, a Destiny 2 planet that is no longer in play.
The calendar then suggests that nothing will happen between February 23 and mid-March. On March 23, season pass holders can try out the new Proving Grounds Strike a week earlier. The season of the second week of Iron Banner of the Chosen Ones also kicks off on March 23. All players will have access to Proving Grounds on March 30, where the new Strike will also appear as Nightfall for the first time.
Iron Banner returns again on April 13. And the much-maligned Guardian Games holiday event returns on April 20. Last year, the Titans smoked the competition due to some bizarre weighing issues. We’ll see if Hunters and Warlocks get a fair fight this time.
Notably, this list lacks the “Edited” exotic quest listed on the Season of the Chosen website. This new weapon looks like a new Stasis weapon built by Tex Mechanica, the weapons manufacturer behind The Last Word and The Chaperone. It’s unclear when players will be able to get their hands on this new weapon, but past seasons suggest the quest may appear sometime during the slow period between February and March.
