Bungie has officially lifted the veil on Destiny 2’s future, revealing the Year of Prophecy, a post-Final Shape era that promises a bold narrative shift, unexpected collaborations, and major new content drops. The new annual roadmap includes two full expansions: The Edge of Fate, launching July 15, and Renegades, arriving December 2—and yes, the Star Wars rumors are true.
Here’s everything we know.
The Edge of Fate – July 15, 2025
Serving as the first expansion of the Year of Prophecy, The Edge of Fate plunges Guardians into uncharted territory—literally and narratively.
Bungie is leaning deep into cosmic horror and high-concept mysticism, with the story centered around the Nine, mysterious beings that have loomed over the franchise since Destiny 1. Players will explore a never-before-seen celestial body on the outskirts of the solar system, guided by a new character named Lodi, while reuniting with Ikora Rey for the first time since The Final Shape.
Key Features:
- New destination: A shifting, dreamlike planetoid tied to the Nine
- Narrative sandbox: A non-linear campaign with branching missions and player choices
- New subclass fragments and exotic gear, themed around time manipulation and void geometry
- Fireteam-based puzzles integrated directly into the open world
Sources inside Bungie suggest The Edge of Fate will be a more experimental expansion, setting the tone for the game’s future beyond the Light vs. Darkness conflict.
Renegades – December 2, 2025
Yes, Destiny 2 is going full Star Wars. The Renegades expansion marks an official collaboration between Bungie and Lucasfilm, and it’s not just a cosmetic event—this is full-blown, narrative-integrated crossover content.
Set on a remote desert world heavily inspired by Tatooine, Renegades will introduce a rogue Guardian faction wielding experimental Light-forged weaponry—many of which take visual cues from Star Wars tech.
Confirmed Content:
- Lightsaber-inspired melee weapons
- Armor sets based on Darth Vader, General Grievous, and Kylo Ren
- New exotic missions styled like classic Star Wars hero moments
- PvP mode with power-limited loadouts and force-like ability interactions
While this partnership is surprising, sources familiar with the development indicate this was in motion long before Sony’s acquisition of Bungie in 2022. The crossover is expected to extend beyond cosmetics and into lore relevance, with thematic ties to Guardians questioning their purpose in the galaxy.
Collector’s Edition – Year of Prophecy Bundle
A Collector’s Edition priced at $275 USD will include:
- Both expansions (The Edge of Fate + Renegades)
- Four season passes
- Two dungeon keys
- Exclusive emotes and shaders
- A physical collectible: A starmap of the Nine’s realm + “artifact from Lodi”
Quantities are limited, and Bungie has confirmed this CE is “the only way to get the physical lore book” included in the bundle.
Final Thoughts
Bungie is making it clear: Destiny 2 isn’t winding down—it’s transforming. With The Final Shape bringing closure to a decade-long narrative, The Edge of Fate and Renegades mark a pivot to new ideas, bigger collaborations, and a multiverse-scale sense of freedom.
For longtime fans and curious newcomers alike, Year of Prophecy could be Destiny’s most unpredictable and ambitious year yet.
