Season 17 of Destiny 2 has been officially revealed as Season of the Haunted with a new trailer ahead of a big reveal on May 24. We’ve learned a lot about the mechanics updates in the new Season, including changes to Exotics, primary weapons, Glaives, heavy weapons, the loot pool, and more. We knew next to nothing about the story, activities, cosmetics, weapons, or subclass updates.
That’s all changed. We have plenty of new info to chew on between the trailer and the official Season of the Haunted page on Bungie.net.
The Leviathan, Nightmares, and CalusDestiny 2 players who weren’t around before the Beyond Light expansion will be unfamiliar with the Leviathan, the location of the first three Raids Destiny 2 received. The Leviathan was a planet-devouring ship, and its owner Calus was the exiled Emperor of the Cabal and our ally Empress Caiatl’s father. Calus long held that he held the key to greater power in knowledge beyond Guardian Light, which we would take for ourselves in Stasis during Beyond Light.
Now the vast ship, once a place of excess and debauchery, has returned, likely to feast on the energy of the Pyramid ship buried on the Moon introduced in the Shadowkeep expansion. Now further corrupted, Guardians will return to the Leviathan to hunt the nightmares of our past.

We’ll be navigating through the corrupted areas of the Leviathan and there are plenty of callbacks to the vanilla D2 activities, between the Calus robot remains, the other raid encounter areas, and the Underbelly space. Add to that the two activities players enjoy seem to follow a similar structure to Season of the Splicer.
