Heresy - Bungie reveals new content and Star Wars crossover
Yesterday - Bungie has announced new details about the upcoming episode Heresy in Destiny 2, which launches on February 4, 2025. In addition to the return of the Tomb Ship and new activities, a Star Wars crossover with themed armor will be introduced. The annual Game2Give event will also be launched, supporting the Bungie Foundation with fundraising activities.
Destiny 2: Heresy brings back new content and familiar elements
During a livestream, the developers of Destiny 2 presented the first content for Heresy, the game's new act. With the release on February 4, 2025, players can look forward to some familiar and new elements. In particular, the focus is on the return of the Grave Ship, an iconic flock ship from the original Destiny. Alongside this nostalgic element, some familiar characters - both friends and foes - are also returning to the game.
In addition to the new exploration option in the Tomb Ship, Bungie is introducing a fresh activity called The Netherworld. Players can also expect new weapons and equipment. In addition, new focus aspects will be introduced to expand the gameplay. A highlight for the competitive community is the upcoming Shattered Lore Dungeon Race, which starts on February 7.
Star Wars meets Destiny 2
A big surprise of the announcement was Bungie's collaboration with Lucasfilm Games to integrate Star Wars-inspired items into Destiny 2. At the launch of Heresy, special armor ornaments inspired by the iconic troopers and royal guards of the Galactic Empire will be introduced. This new cosmetic content adds a thematic crossover element to the game that should appeal to fans of both universes.
Game2Give 2025 - charity campaign for a good cause
In addition, Game2Give 2025 marks the start of another major charity campaign by the Bungie Foundation. In collaboration with over 200 content creators, the event is supporting charitable causes. The initiative supports children's aid projects and people in need.
This year's donation incentives include an exclusive badge, a new gesture and a Sparrow. In addition, the badge vault will bring back some popular designs from previous years. In addition to streams and challenges, the event also includes an auction of rare collectibles. The highlight of the campaign is scheduled for February 6 with a large livestream.
A special aspect of Game2Give 2025 is supporting those affected by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. Players can purchase a pre-order shirt with a badge that will donate at least 15 dollars per order to the California Fire Foundation and Direct Relief.
