Players will be able to dive into Destiny 2: Season of the Chosen on February 9, 2021. Bungie hasn’t shared an exact release time just yet, but it will most likely be available to play as soon as the usual weekly reset time arrives at 12 p.m. EST.

According to the reveal trailer, Season of the Chosen will focus on the arrival of Empress Caiatl, the leader of the Cabal seeking an alliance with the Guardians.

These include new triumphs, new Iron Banners, Trials of Osiris, and even Guardian Games, as well as some brand-new activities like new strikes and a mode called Battleground.
