TL;DR:
Can it be July 15th already?
Just a few days ago was the reveal event for The Edge of Fate and the Year of Prophecy. If you missed it, you can catch the full stream here or read MoSadie’s TL;DW here.
The Edge of Fate expansion, as well as major core game updates, will arrive on July 15th. Renegades, the second expansion, is slated for December 2nd.
Pre-orders are live now! You can learn more here!
Post-Reveal FAQ
Will Renegades be a Destiny Story?
Yes. It’s the aesthetic, tone, and vibe of Star Wars being used to tell a Destiny story with Destiny characters.
Will vault space be increased?
Not in The Edge of Fate, but there is more space planned (and some quality of life features) for Renegades.
Will the Director still exist?
Yep! Under the “Worlds” tab.
Power??? 10 Power???
Yep, more details to come in future TWIDs, but power will be rebased at launch!
What stats are being rebalanced or replaced?
More details in a full breakdown in June.
What is a reward pass and how much does it cost?
There are 4 of them for Year of Prophecy, and cna be purchased for 1000 silver in the Eververse if you want to buy them standalone. They’re jam packed many of the cosmetics you know and love from years past including an Exotic Weapon and Universal Ornament Set.

Some other languages may have muted dialog or English dialog in place of the original language. Subtitles will be enabled by default.
Player Support Report
Pre-Order Items Info
Instantly unlocked items are available from the Special Deliveries kiosk in the Tower, across from Banshee. You may need to restart the game to get the items to appear.
Rite of the Nine Quest Issue
There was a server-side fix for an issue where players did not receive quest progress for defeating Persys, Primordial Ruin, in the Spire of the Watcher dungeon.
Through next Tuesday, all players can receive an additional reward when defeating the final boss and completing the dungeon.
Cruel Mercy Clarification
In last week’s TWID, it was mentioned that the new Nightfall weapon, Cruel Mercy, would drop with Jolting Feedback. This was incorrect, as it drops with Rolling Storm instead. The TWID has been updated to reflect this.
(Relevant) Known Issues
- The Explorer difficulty in Rite of the Nine dungeons requires PlayStation Plus if playing solo.
- Some Rite of the Nine rewards drop with 0 Power Level. This can be fixed by infusing another weapon.
- The Cruel Mercy Pulse Rifle drops without a Masterwork.
- Only Pale Heart Lost Sector completions count towards the By Heart Seasonal Challenge.
- Curio of the Nine that were put into the Vault cannot be converted into Nonary Manifolds.
- The Champ Title has lost its gilded status.
- The Sunless Cell Grandmaster is not available in Fireteam Finder.
- When speaking to a vendor, you can hear their ambient dialogue.
- Ionic Sentry sometimes doesn’t Chain Lightning enemies.
- Steps 6 and 9 of the Drowning Labyrinth quest aren’t able to be completed by some players.
- Due to this quest being a fix between character-scoped and account-scoped, if you have an alternate character and make progress on the quest, you need to play on that character to get back into the correct research paper level for your main character.
- Sometimes in the Derealize Exotic mission, the Taken relic can drop below the surface during the Vhriisk encounter.
- When damaging Shrieker bosses in the Sundered Doctrine dungeon, players receive critical damage feedback, but damage is actually regular base damage.
- When tracking Ikora’s Drowning Labyrinth quest, completion of certain steps may stop progress on the next steps.
- Sometimes the Tome of Want: A Primer quest does not progress after meeting Step 3 and Step 4 requirements.
- Memento shaders can be previewed on armor in the Armor Management screen. This is not intended, and Mementos aren’t being considered for use on armor.
- Secant Filaments and Spirit of the Filaments can’t grant Devour while Facet of Protection is equipped.

What?
These are summaries of announcements from Bungie. This site mainly focuses on their weekly This Week at Bungie/This Week in Destiny series, but other blog posts and announcements are summarized when important. There summaries are targeted towards Destiny 2 players who are familiar with the game. I will do my best to put spoiler tags on any major reveals that happen in a given week, but I would always recommend being caught up on any weekly story quests before reading a TL;DR or TWAB/TWID.
Why?
I write these for my clan every week and post them in our Discord, figured others would want a TL;DR as well. Discord has a small character limit so I made it a website instead. This is also a chance for me to learn more about GitHub Pages and Jekyll.
