Destiny 2's next batch of content, titled Season of the Drifter, is set to kick off next week, and in true Bungie fashion, the team has detailed what we should expect over the next few months in the form of a ViDoc. Check it out above.
Focused on the character of the Drifter, the gentleman who takes centre stage in the PvEvP mode Gambit, the Season of the Drifter will introduce a new mode named Gambit Prime. This is set to offer an even tougher test than the original mode with just one round of combat and higher risks, but of course better rewards. If you win the match, you get to put those rewards on the line in a further mode named The Reckoning, Here, you'll be confronted by swarms of enemies in a task that sort of acts like a horde mode that's always on the move.
Elsewhere, the classic Destiny exotic hand cannon Thorn returns to the battlefield, while new pinnacle weapons can be found at the top of the Crucible, Gambit, and Vanguard ranks.
Most interestingly though, Luke Smith made an appearance where he teased what would be coming after the Annual Pass. He says: "We're starting to figure out what the roadmap for a Bungie-controlled Destiny looks like. This is just the beginning of a conversation we're going to have with you about where Destiny can go". Two other developers then jump in to tease that there is something coming after the Annual Pass wraps up its content delivery.
Do you think this will be another Taken King-like expansion, or another sequel? Shoot some Cabal in the comments below.

I still play this almost daily. Too much fun and laughs running with a solid group....or even a crappy group would be fun😂 I’m glad more content is coming.
Looks interesting but they're going to have to do a lot more than just new gear and remixed modes to bring me back. With Anthem and the Division 2 out they have an uphill battle but I like the line about "Bungie control". Looking forward to seeing the next big expansion probably fall time.
Hopefully they don't attempt to parcel this content out into $10 chunks like they did here. Either wrap everything up in one package, make your game a monthly subscription, or make it free to play, but please stop with this ridiculous setup.
Not playing it at the moment, but I will pop back to have a look at the Drifter content, as I already bought the pass. I still think D1 was the better game, but fair play to Bungie for pulling D2 out of the mire it was in a while back. As far as future content, I reckon another big expansion, the cynic in me says just before xmas
@shafedog247 - Same here, still play every day. Really looking forward to the new season. Gambit Prime looks fantastic as does The Reckoning. Roll on Tuesday!
@XurAgentofthe9 I'm the same, been playing fallout 76 and anthem at the moment, fallout I enjoy but as soon as drifter is released anthem will be shelved. It feels empty and the loot is boring. I have enjoyed destiny all the way bar Osiris and black armoury.
What’s after the annual pass? Let me guess, another annual pass after that. No thanks bungie.
@THEundying27
I actually have no issues with that at all it makes more sense and as Im a more hardcore player of d2 I appreciate it
