Destiny 2’s 17th season is about to get started, but before it kicks off a new trailer for Season of the Haunted has arrived. Finally, we get a glimpse of what’s in store for the upcoming adventure, with Crow, Zavala, Eris, and Empress Caiatl at the center of it, along with Solar abilities for each of the classes and the corrupted Levithan hanging over the Moon. A lot is going on in this trailer, and it should get players amped for what is to come to Destiny 2 over the next few months.
The trailer briefly teases the upcoming Solar 3.0 abilities gifted to each class. The Titans receive a notable one of a second hammer charge, the first returning after they crash into an enemy. All Warlocks can now send out solar charges with a snap of their fingers, lighting foes aflame. As for Hunters, they gain another dagger ability, giving them blinding speeds of dexterity as they cut through their foes.
The big hit in the trailer is a return to Leviathan, Calus’ ship and the site of a massive raid in Destiny 2, overtaken with corruption. It’s anyone’s guess how the corruption got there, but it’s attempting to connect to the Pyramid on the Moon, and the ritual performed by Eris alongside Caiatl, Crow, and Zavala who might be able to stop it.
Another critical point shown in the trailer was a large scythe held by a Guardian. We now know that Guardians will use this scythe when they summon nightmares on the corrupted Leviathan and cleanse them using this powerful weapon. Many hope the flaming weapon will stick long past Season of the Haunted.
Included with this update will be a new Season Pass, weapons, mods, an upgrade to the Solstice event, and more. Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted will be available from May 24 to August 23.
