Destiny 2 unveils the Season of the Deep, a $2 season pass price jump, and new Strand Aspects
On the heels of a big Season 21 Super patch, Destiny 2's gone and torn the veil off the Season of the Deep and yet more massive changes attached to it.
Bungie dropped an absolute unit of a blog post (opens in new tab) this afternoon, and the headliner is the first official art for the Season of the Deep (above). I like the look of that armor, and it seems we're taking the whole "Deep" thing very literally judging from the underwater motif.

This is roughly a $2 price increase, but this won't affect the passes included with Lightfall's standard edition, which lets you access Season 20, or the annual pass edition, which comes with everything through Season 23. But if you are buying these individually, be prepared to pay a little extra.
"This will be the new pricing for Season Passes in Lightfall’s year for those looking to maximize their rewards with each new Season, and we’ll be evaluating new approaches to post-launch content in the year of The Final Shape," Bungie says.

All three sound pretty promising, though I am biased toward Warlock, and it'll be nice to actually have a choice in what Aspects to run on Strand.
