Destiny 2 – Echoes

After brave Guardians led the charge to defeat the Witness and stop its Final Shape, mysterious objects of immense power called Echoes were strewn across the system in reaction to the climactic battle. Echoes takes players on a journey to discover the meaning of these objects, leading players to Nessus, where the planet is evolving. Working with Failsafe, Saint-14, and Osiris, Guardians will mobilize against an expanding army of Vex and a mysterious new enemy. Guardians from across the globe battled to be the first to bring the final fight to the Witness, leading the ultimate battle with the allies of the Traveler. Congratulations to Team Parabellum for emerging victorious as the first fireteam of six to complete the raid on Contest Mode. All six members will receive World First title belts and will forever be known as the World First Champions of Salvation's Edge.

Each Episode released will feature three Acts, each about six weeks in length, with Echoes Act 2 launching on July 16, and Act 3 going live on August 27. Each Act will include new activities and missions, such as the new three-player Breach Executable activity launching in Echoes Act 1. Echoes will also introduce new weapons and armor; additional unlocks for the Seasonal Artifact and Season Pass, and more.
