Master the Ultimate Power: Deckbuilding Revolutionizes Destiny 2 Season 22

Highlights

Destiny 2 Season 22 introduces the Deck of Whispers, a unique gameplay mechanic based on deckbuilding, offering players buffs and rewards.

Players will face Xivu Arath and explore their connection to the Hive through exciting new seasonal activities called Savathûn's Spire and the Altars of Summoning.

In preparation for these activities, players have the opportunity to assemble a powerful deck of major arcana cards which can be utilized before engaging in the seasonal challenges. Additionally, minor arcana cards offer ongoing benefits throughout the entire season.

Bungie unveils details for Destiny 2 Season 22, The Final Shape showcase, which introduces an exciting gameplay mechanic called the Deck of Whispers focused on deckbuilding. In Season of the Witch, the Hive takes center stage as Savathun's Ghost Immaru proposes a deal with the Vanguard to resurrect Savathun, offering knowledge of Traveler navigation to chase after The Witness. However, the presence of Xivu Arath, the Hive god of war, remains a challenge as players assist Eris Morn in harnessing her Hive abilities. Through engaging in activities like Savathûn's Spire and the Altars of Summoning, players can enhance their power and collect valuable loot, gear, and a fresh gameplay loot inspired by deckbuilding games.

The Deck of Whispers, a new progression system in Season of the Witch, is introduced. As Destiny 2 players engage in various activities or receive rewards, they will occasionally come across unidentified cards. These cards can be unveiled and activated at the Lectern of Divination. Before any seasonal activity, players can draw major arcana cards from their deck, granting each member of the fireteam a unique buff corresponding to the card's abilities. If multiple members draw the same card, its strength is increased for that particular encounter.

Minor arcana cards in Destiny 2's 22nd season offer passive bonus upgrades that remain active. These cards can also provide tangible rewards such as keys, engrams, currencies, and weapons. Bungie's goal for this deckbuilding system is to allow players to customize their playstyle, fireteam, and class.

Aside from Season of the Witch, Destiny 2 fans gained insight into The Final Shape expansion, which includes new story details and The Pale Heart destination. Bungie also unveiled three new supers for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks, each with support abilities and formidable firepower. Surprisingly, Bungie shared a glimpse into Destiny 2's future beyond The Final Shape, transitioning to standalone episodes instead of the current three-month seasonal cycles.

Destiny 2 is now available PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
