Destiny 2: Revenant Act I Launches Today
Today, Destiny 2: Revenant launches, where Guardians will take up the mantle of ‘Slayer Baron’ as they take on the leader of an undead Scorn army, Fikrul, now empowered by an Echo formed after the defeat of the Witness in The Final Shape. Revenant releases with all of Act I’s story content available on day one and includes new features and content including Tonic brewing, Onslaught: Salvation, new weapons and Artifact perks, a new earnable Skimmer, and more.
This Episode is truly chilling, featuring more Stasis mods than ever and icy Exotic armor updates for all Stasis wielders. Players will earn the new vampiric inspired Exotic Stasis Grenade Launcher, Alethonym, which supports fireteams by providing ammo for their Special and Heavy weapons. Onslaught: Salvation introduces three new maps to the activity, Widow’s Court, Eventide Ruins, and Kell’s Grave, and adds new defensive upgrades to dominate the battlefield, such as airstrikes and rideable turrets. Players can also look forward to the eerie Festival of the Lost in-game celebration, returning on October 30 AEDT/NZDT.
The new dungeon, Vesper’s Host, launches this Saturday, October 12 AEDT/NZDT alongside Destiny 2’s first-ever official Dungeon Race. Tune into the Twitch Rivals Dungeon Race stream here on Saturday, October 12 at 4:00 AM AEDT/6:00 AM NZDT to watch the best fireteams in the world compete in Contest Mode for glory (and prizes) in a race to the finish line. All players who Triumph over this challenge during the first 48 hours after the Dungeon launches will earn bragging rights and a special emblem. Moreover, the iconic Ice Breaker Exotic Sniper Rifle last seen in Destiny returns as a reward for any who completes the activity in Contest Mode, with the weapon also added to the dungeon’s Normal Mode loot pool.
Additionally, those who complete the Vesper’s Host dungeon by 4:59 AM AEDT/6:59 AM NZDT on February 6, 2025, will be able to purchase the Vesper’s Host bracelet, the activewear hoodie, and the collectible Dungeon pin through Bungie Rewards. Those who complete and earn the Unleashed Title by the same deadline will also be able to purchase the Collectible Medallion pin in the Bungie Store.
Last week, Destiny 2 developers hosted a livestream showcasing gameplay and features in the new content coming to Revenant, and they also provided new information on Codename: Frontiers, Destiny 2’s new content model slated for 2025. Watch the developer livestream here for more information.
