SEASON OF ARRIVALS + BEYOND LIGHT

Summary:

• Moments of Triumph has been extended to November 10, 2020.
• Festival of the Lost will now take place during Season of Arrivals, beginning on October 6.
• Bungie is planning a handful of ritual activity modifiers to look forward to:
  • Increased Valor
  • Increased Infamy
  • Increased [REDACTED]
  • A few additional Iron Banner events between September and November.
• And more…

NOTE: The implementation of related systems, such as the moving of certain activities to the Destiny Content Vault and the effect of Max Power Level through Infusion, have also been pushed back.

Here is some info from a recent Bungie.net post: 

Bungie has made the decision to move the release of Destiny 2: Beyond Light to November 10 (view the Official Beyond Light website).

As the first chapter in a new trilogy of expansions, Beyond Light is the beginning of a new era of Destiny 2. Bungie has a powerful story to tell and incredible new features that they are really excited for players to experience. As always, their goal is to make the coolest, most entertaining expansion they can possibly make for their fans. To that end, Bungie is doing what’s best for the game and moving the launch date.

The past few months have been a challenge and will continue to be during this pandemic. Bungie has learned to create together in a new way, by having to work apart from one another. Despite these hurdles, they are still committed to the same level of quality that their fans expect.

Over the coming weeks, they will be unveiling more of what they are working on for Beyond Light and what that also means for Season of Arrivals, which will now extend to November 10. Beyond Light sets the stage for an incredible future in Destiny 2 and, though it’s coming later than Bungie originally anticipated, they are excited to continue that journey with you this November.
