Tons Of New Information Revealed About The Next Episode Of ‘Destiny 2' Content, Heresy
Destiny 2’s next Episode of content, Heresy, has been shrouded in mystery for some time. While fans were aware the focus would be on the Hive, one of the game’s main enemy factions, and Bungie would be bringing back the Dreadnought (a devastating starship that blew a hole in Saturn’s rings as part of the original Destiny’s The Taken King expansion) in some form, other core information was missing in the lead-up to the content’s launch.
But on January 28th, in a livestream across Twitch and YouTube, Bungie staffers laid out the Episode’s first act and provided a lot of good context for the first wave of content. The focus is still on the Hive, but the enemy faction of the Taken, and the new enemy faction of the Dread introduced in The Final Shape will also play major roles. The Dreadnought has started to undergo a strange transformation, its huge slabs of armor plating peeling away and bleaching, while tendrils and eyes coil through the ship, giving this Episode a particularly Eldritch edge.

The gameplay for the Dreadnought will focus on a new three-player activity called The Nether, broken up into three different modes of play. The first is a more relaxed exploration mode allowing players to move around the different areas available on the returned Dreadnought at their own pace, the second is the standard, somewhat difficult mode, and then the last is an incredibly challenging mode. There is also a rogue-lite element to the activity, with three types of boons granting bonuses and debuffs to players as they acquire them throughout the activity.
There was also a mysterious mention of something called Path of Resolve that seems to revolve around the storyline and quests in the game, and how Bungie is trying to change how players interact with the narrative side of the episodic content Destiny 2 has to offer. In addition to these details, plenty of weapons, armor, and other smaller features for the Episode were discussed.
Act 1 of Episode: Heresy begins February 4th, 2025.
