After months of scattered hints and cautious updates, Bungie has officially marked May 6, 2025, for a special livestream event. This broadcast promises to reveal the next major chapter in Destiny 2’s journey, an expansion titled The Edge of Fate.

Destiny 2 has carried players through galaxies, battles, and timelines for years, but right now, the future feels like uncharted territory. The game’s recent shift from Seasons to Episodes brought an unpredictable pace change, and players have been left hanging with The Final Shape closing its long-running saga. Adding to the tension, Bungie’s other title, Marathon, has taken the spotlight, while Destiny 2 quietly lingered in uncertainty.
The Episode Heresy storyline recently concluded, leaving fans to speculate wildly. And while Rites of the Nine offers a brief diversion, the real question remains: what’s waiting just beyond the horizon? Now, with fresh whispers and a cryptic tease, something major is about to surface, but not everything is as it seems.
Bungie Sets the Stage for Destiny 2’s Next Big Leap
After months of scattered hints and cautious updates, Bungie has officially marked May 6, 2025, for a special livestream event. This broadcast promises to reveal the next major chapter in Destiny 2’s journey, an expansion titled The Edge of Fate. The announcement arrives at a tense moment for the community, where the future felt stalled by the end of the episodic structure, and Codename: Frontiers remained half-formed in the public eye. Bungie, while offering minor insights into Frontiers over the past months, has largely held back.
This reveal will finally confirm long-running speculations. Notably, this expansion was internally dubbed Codename Apollo, with previous roadmaps hinting at a summer release alongside two updates and a reward pass. While details remain sparse, expectations are building fast, as fans crave solid information. Adding fuel to the fire, Destiny 2's assistant game director Robbie Stevens hinted at expanding the series' universe, possibly hinting at new destinations like the long-lost Eliksni homeworld, Riis.
Join us on May 6, 2025 as we reveal The Edge of Fate and the upcoming year of Destiny 2.

In the backdrop, Destiny 2’s presence in competitive events and races has dwindled slightly, overshadowed by major Marathon news and the conclusion of The Final Shape. Yet, the next content race could reshape everything, setting new milestones as the game edges into uncharted systems and stories. The May reveal might just trigger a new sprint for supremacy.
Could Riis Finally Become Real?
Speculation has swirled around Destiny 2 venturing beyond its decade-long Solar System setting. Past expansions teased outer worlds, but none fully delivered. Now, with The Edge of Fate looming, Bungie’s promise of “world-building and expanding the universe” feels more than rhetorical. The idea of Riis, once home to the Eliksni and a symbol of Destiny lore, returning as a playable location excites lore fans and PvE race participants alike.
If this happens, it could redefine upcoming Raid Races, famous for intense day-one competitions, by adding exotic new terrain, mechanics, and enemy types. As the competitive scene anticipates fresh arenas, the expansion might well become the next proving ground for elite fireteams. This May, all eyes turn to the reveal and the fate Bungie’s been quietly building.
