Destiny 2 community is upset with Bungie for releasing the new Raid on a weekday
Through the latest This Week at Bungie (TWAB), the developer has announced details regarding the upcoming revamped Raid in Destiny 2's next season. Players can expect it to be released three days after the season's initial launch on August 26.

Many have come forward and expressed their disagreement with the release date.
