Name of Destiny 2’s next season appears in-game, hints at something ominous

By Aaron Mamiit Published April 25, 2023

The name of Destiny 2‘s Season 11 has apparently already appeared in-game, shortly after the destruction of the Almighty that marked the end of Season 10.

In Destiny 2‘s first real-time, in-game event, supercomputer Rasputin launched a barrage of missiles against the Almighty, which was hurtling towards the Last City, sending the ship crashing into the mountains beyond the Tower. The event, which was the subject of complaints due to how long it took to play out, was the culmination of all the efforts of players for the Season of the Worthy.

With Season of the Worthy drawing to a close, Destiny 2 players are looking forward to what the next season will offer. At the very least, it appears that the name of the game’s 11th season is already known.

Season 11’s name appears in messages

A few posts on online forum Reddit revealed that players have received in-game messages inviting them to the launch of Season 11 of Destiny 2 on June 9. The messages, which have appeared in French and German, claim that the next chapter of the game is titled Season of the Arrival. While the Spanish version of the message translates to Season of the Visitors, it appears that Season of the Arrival is accepted as the name of the next season of Destiny 2.

A deleted tweet from late May, captured by freelance video editor Daniel Haynes, was apparently true, though the name was Season of Arrival.

It remains unclear what the specific name of Destiny 2‘s Season 11 will be, whether it will be Season of the Arrival or Season of Arrival. Digital Trends has reached out to try to get confirmation on the actual name of Season 11, and will update this article once we hear back.

Nevertheless, whichever version ends up as Season 11’s name, it appears that something is coming to Earth, and given everything else that Guardians have faced, it probably will not be good news. Speculation is that the Darkness will finally return, but players will know for sure once Bungie officially reveals the next season of Destiny 2.

Don’t ignore Spider-Man 2’s side missions. They’re the best parts of the game

With Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 out, you might be tempted to devour Insomniac’s new superhero adventure as fast as possible like a hungry Venom. I wouldn’t blame you. The sequel’s sprawling story is a complicated web of threads that beg to be untangled. It’s tempting to zoom from mission to mission, ignoring all other side activities until New York City has been properly saved from Kraven’s wrath.

If you find yourself in that boat, consider this a PSA: Don’t skip out on Spider-Man 2’s side missions. Though they aren’t as glitzy as the main campaign, the sequel’s best moments are consistently tucked away in quieter quests that emphasize compassion and community support over comic book violence. They’re the moments that best illustrate what it truly means to be a superhero.

Just like the previous two Spider-Man games, Insomniac’s open-world take on New York City is filled with optional storylines. Early on, Peter and Miles can stop to clean up a mess left by Sandman or take up jobs as local photographers. These aren’t just empty checklists to complete; even something as simple as collecting every Spider-bot in town leads to some kind of narrative payoff that’s usually worth seeing through to the end (especially since a 100% completion only takes around 35 hours).

The Talos Principle 2 is shaping up to be 2023’s can’t-miss puzzle game

1K looks at a cliff in The Talos Principle 2.

It's been a fantastic year for puzzle games, thanks to titles like Viewfinder, Humanity, Fantavision 202X, and Storyteller. This run of engaging puzzlers isn’t over yet, though, as one of the year’s most ambitious puzzle games, both thematically and mechanically, hasn’t come out yet. I’m talking about The Talos Principle 2 from Croteam and Devolver Digital, a long-awaited sequel that I got a hands-off look at ahead of Gamescom.

Try these 2 indie greats before they leave Xbox Game Pass next week

I’m always excited for those two days every month when Xbox drops a blog post detailing the new additions coming to Game Pass. Even in slow months, there’s usually a hidden gem on there that I’m curious about digging into. Though as curious as I am about checking out what’s new, I often forget to scroll to the bottom and see what’s leaving the service. And just as there are a few standouts added to the service each month, Game Pass also tends to quietly lose just as many with each new batch.

That’s exactly the case this July. While the service gains Grand Theft Auto V and Exoprimal this month, it’s also losing two standout indies: Spelunky 2 and Exo One. If you’re looking for some games to play during a slow month for big releases, here’s why you should check out both before they leave the service on July 15.
