Bungie has revealed the Destiny 2 Episodes that will be released in 2024 following the launch of the Final Shape. This guide will break down all Year 10 Destiny 2 Episodes, including the Echoes release date.
Destiny 2 Year 10 Episodes Announced
The first Destiny 2 Episode is called Echoes and will launch on June 11, 2024. However, Bungie has revealed that players will be able to jump into a total of three episodes this year that follow the release of The Final Shape expansion.
Here is a list of every Destiny 2 Episode that will be released in 2024 and what they will feature:
| Episode | Features | Release Date |
| Echoes | 1. An echoe has transformed the planet Nessus, and the Vex has been transformed into new enemies. 2. New Arena: Breach Executable Activity. 3. Visit the landmarks of Nessus and discover ancient secrets of the planet. 4. A mysterious new enemy has been added to the game. | Tuesday, June 11, 2024. |
| Revenant | 1. Fallen themed. Centers around the Fallen looking for a new home planet. 2. The Episode will be more “dark-fantasy” themed. Described as “slaying vampires”. 3. Players get to play as a “Slayer Baron,” a role in Eliksni culture that is reserved for powerful “monster hunters.” 4. The episode leans heavily into “Vampire Hunting.” 5. A new system, “Potion Crafting,” will be introduced. 6. Combat Potions will boost your artifact. 7. Loot Potions will let you have “agency over the rewards you are chasing.” 8. Fikrul is back and has the Echo to build his new army of darkness. Fikrul is in an awoken watchtower described as “Fikrul’s Vampire Keep.” | July 2024-October 2024. |
| Heresy | 1. The Episode is themed around the “Hive Pantheon” dealing with “new revelations” in their lore. 2. Bungie describes the story as putting the Hive Pantheon through so much stress that those inside of it leave it changed. 3. A new Eldritch Force is “bubbling up” to the surface and “opening new doors.” All of this leads back to the Dreadnaught. 4. Players will get to return to the Dreadnaught as it has a “whole new purpose”. 5. Bungie also describes the Dreadnaught as now being an “Eldritch fortress of secrets.” 6. New Dreadnaught weapons will be skeletal and “spooky.” 7. The Episode will feature two new armor sets. One will be heavily “Eris-themed,” whereas the other will be a “Hive Ship Navigator” set. 8. Bungie says fans who liked “Shattered Realm” and “The Coil” will like the episode’s new Dreadnaught Activity. | November 2024-February 2025. |
Destiny 2 Echoes Release Date
Destiny 2 Echoes will be released on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, and last until the beginning of July. The episode will have players returning to Nessus. However, the planet has now been transformed by a new enemy, who is making the Vex “act differently.”
The core feature of the June Destiny 2 Episode is the Arena: Breach Executable Activity. Players will take on a wave of Vex who have been taken over. While fending off the machines, teams will need to plug up geysers of energy that are bursting through the ground.
The story portion of the Episode will revolve around players re-visiting landmarks of Nessus, which now have new lore to discover. Bungie states that we will learn “new secrets” about the “long-lost ancient civilization” that once lived there.
Destiny 2 Revenant
The Destiny 2 Revenant episode will be much more “horror-themed” and will lean heavily into the vampire-hunting mythos. Players will take on Fikrul, who is trying to raise up his own Army of Darkness. In the preview, the enemy is being played up as a “Vampire” locked away in his “keep.”
Sticking to the Episode’s themes, players will also be able to unlock vampire-hunting-themed armor. However, the core feature of this Episode is the new “Potion Crafting” system. In particular, the new “Loot Potions” will allow players to progress towards specific rewards.
In the preview, Bungie describes this new system as an overall goal they are working towards. They want players to be able to choose the kind of loot they want to drop so they have something to work towards.
Destiny 2 Heresy
Finally, the last Destiny 2 Episode to be released in 2024 is called Heresy. The story will return back to the Hive Pantheon. While not fully revealed, the Episode will center around a “Dreadnaught” Activity, which is described as a “fortress of secrets.”
The Episode will not only have two plot themes running throughout it, but players will also be able to unlock two armor sets. The first set is full-on Eris-themed, whereas the other set lets players look like a Hive Mind Navigator.
There is still a lot we don’t know about Destiny 2 Heresy. However, the Episode is set to drop in November 2024 and will actually run through February 2025. So this will be the longest Episode featured in Year 10 Destiny.
Destiny 2 The Final Shape is now available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
