With Season of the Wish\u2014the final season of the Lightfall<\/em> expansion\u2014releasing tomorrow, Nov. 28, what was originally scheduled to be a three-month season will now extend out to over half a year. Bungie is keenly aware of how big a blow this delay could be toward its goal of retaining players heading into The Final Shape<\/em>, and so with the delay confirmation came a simultaneous announcement that a new content update called “Destiny 2<\/em>: Into The Light” will be dropping in April. The post offers very scant information on what this update will include but says it will “prepare players” for their journey into the Traveler.<\/p>
“We know you\u2019re eager to get your hands on The Final Shape<\/em>,” Bungie said. “In that sense, delays aren\u2019t fun. For our part, we are excited to have the extra time needed to bring our vision for The Final Shape<\/em> to life for all of you.”<\/p>
While Season of the Wish’s content will only run up to the end of February as planned, players won’t be entirely hung out to dry for the remaining three months before The Final Shape<\/em> will now launch. In February, Moments of Triumph will return alongside new weekly quests that Bungie is calling Wishes. In March, Guardian Games will start\u2014an event that’s been traditionally hosted in May. April brings the aforementioned Into The Light content update, which is followed up by the release of three new PvP maps in May.<\/p>
