Bungie has officially announced that Destiny 2’s next major expansion, The Edge of Fate, will be revealed during a live showcase on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 2:00 AM AEST. The event will be streamed across Bungie’s official platforms, including Twitch, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter), and is expected to set the stage for the post-Final Shape era of Destiny.

A New Chapter Beyond Light and Darkness

Edge of Fate has been rumored for months under the codename “Apollo,” but this marks the first time Bungie has confirmed its existence—and with it, a new narrative arc that will reportedly steer the franchise away from the long-running Light and Darkness saga.

While details are still tightly under wraps, sources familiar with Bungie’s internal roadmap describe Edge of Fate as the “first true step” into the next evolution of Destiny 2. The studio is shifting away from the now-sunset seasonal model in favor of biannual, medium-sized expansions, each supported by free seasonal content drops.

Player Choice May Finally Matter

One of the biggest rumored features of Edge of Fate is a non-linear progression system that allows players to influence the story’s direction through their decisions and exploration. This would mark a major departure from Destiny’s historically linear storytelling and could add new layers of replayability.

According to leaks shared by data miners and community insiders, Bungie is also set to expand the lore around The Nine, the mysterious celestial entities that have lingered in the background of Destiny’s mythology for years. Expect deeper narrative ties, cryptic mechanics, and perhaps a new destination linked to their realm.

What to Expect from the May 6 Showcase

Bungie’s showcase is likely to follow a similar format to previous expansion reveals, with a pre-recorded deep-dive, developer interviews, and a cinematic trailer that sets the tone for what’s to come. While no release date has been officially confirmed yet, Edge of Fate is widely expected to launch sometime in Fall 2025.

Fans hoping for new subclasses, major PvP updates, or a long-overdue Gambit overhaul may also want to tune in—Bungie has teased “fundamental changes” to the core sandbox in its latest community blog post.

With The Final Shape closing one of gaming’s most ambitious story arcs, Edge of Fate has a massive narrative gap to fill—and Bungie seems ready to take that leap. Whether this next chapter will revitalize the Destiny experience or falter under the weight of expectation remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure: all eyes will be on May 7.
