A new dungeon awaits players in Destiny 2's Season of the Deep, promising exciting new content to explore. As with previous dungeons and raids, the name of this new location offers tantalizing hints about the challenges that lie ahead. Building on the season's dark and ominous theme, the dungeon's name suggests that Guardians will be facing a formidable foe in their quest to save the galaxy.
Season of the Deep is the latest chapter in Destiny 2's ongoing saga, following on from the events of Lightfall and Season of Defiance. Returning to the moon Titan, players will join forces with Deputy Commander Sloane to protect a mysterious creature that resides in the planet's methane oceans. As they battle to uncover the Witness' true intentions, Guardians will be pushed to their limits as they fight to save the galaxy from certain doom.
Bungie has finally revealed the name of the highly-anticipated upcoming dungeon set to go live on Friday, May 26. Ghosts of the Deep is the ominous title of this endgame activity that has Guardians eagerly awaiting its release. Although details about the dungeon are scarce, players were given a brief outline of start dates for other activities in Season of the Deep, including Iron Banner and Solstice. Stay tuned for more updates as the release date approaches.
Some members of the Destiny 2 community have been theorizing about the dungeon's title despite the lack of information. One popular speculation is that the title has a dual meaning as it will take players deep beneath the surface of Titan's oceans and could be focused on the Hive since they refer to the Darkness as "The Deep." Many players believe that Xivu Arath's involvement in Season of the Deep supports this idea as she is directly communicating with players in-game for the first time.
There are also ideas about what kind of ghosts players may encounter in the dungeon. One theory is that they may be connected to Oryx in some way. After his defeat in the King's Fall raid, the former Taken King's body was last seen floating around Saturn, and many players speculate that his remains may have ended up on Titan since it is Saturn's largest moon. Whether these theories prove to be true or not remains to be seen, but it would be a fitting conclusion to the Light and Darkness Saga if one of the guardians' most formidable adversaries were to make a comeback.
Destiny 2 is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
