When is the next Destiny 2 expansion? Our band of Guardians has been through a lot recently; we finally faced off against the Witness and, eventually, took it down for good. Now The Year of Prophecy is here, and new expansion Renegades whisks you, not quite to a galaxy far, far away, but it'll certainly feel like it.
To help you gear up for the latest Destiny 2 expansion, we have guides on the best Destiny 2 builds for you to combat the Darkness with. So, no matter what you do in the space game, you'll crush it.
Destiny 2 new expansion release date
The latest Destiny 2 expansion release date was December 2, 2025. 'Renegades' is Star Wars-themed adventure, focusing on the Drifter and an underground criminal cabal. A major mid-xpac update is scheduled for June 9, 2026.
The major content update, initially named 'Shadow & Order,' was originally set to launch on March 3, 2026, but has since been delayed by Bungie. "This update is being changed and expanded to include sizable quality-of-life updates and as a result, will also be renamed," Bungie confirmed in mid-February.
Bungie announced The Year of Prophecy roadmap and new structure for this year's content, moving away from episodes and instead releasing four content updates a year, including two paid expansions and two major updates. The updates include new activities, missions, gear, and rewards, with all players able to take part in seasonal activities.
Destiny 2 Renegades story
As stated by Bungie, in Destiny 2 Renegades, "Guardians infiltrate a criminal underworld to save a friend whose past has caught up with him, and disrupt the rise of powerful new enemies." Spoiler, it's the Drifter that's in a spot of bother, and he's gotten himself encased in carbonite; well, D2's carbonite equivalent.
Considering D2's struggles to retain players post-The Final Shape (and indeed before the excellent Light and Darkness Saga), having a big IP like Star Wars on-side is a major boon. Bungie says Renegades "redefines what an expansion can be," and it looks like the studio has generally stuck the landing.
Destiny 2 Renegades new gear
The 'New Weapons and Gear Trailer' revealed, you guessed it, a ton of new tools of the trade that wouldn't look out of place in Mos Eisley. The full list of weapons and armor, including new Exotics, is as follows:
