Bungie has announced an exciting preview event scheduled for September 9, where the studio will showcase the highly anticipated Star Wars-inspired Renegades expansion while simultaneously launching the Ash & Iron update for Destiny 2. Although Destiny 2 has experienced a relatively quiet period following the Edge of Fate expansion and annual Solstice event, new content is rapidly approaching for Guardians everywhere.

Before the launch of The Edge of Fate, Bungie shared a comprehensive Destiny 2 roadmap for the Year of Prophecy, providing players with a detailed schedule of upcoming content and expectations. While the number of major content releases has been slightly reduced compared to previous expansions, the Ash & Iron update represents the midpoint of The Edge of Fate narrative, introducing fresh content alongside significant sandbox adjustments. September 9 is shaping up to be a monumental day for Destiny 2 enthusiasts, offering more than just the expected update.

Following their established tradition, Bungie is organizing a new Developer Livestream on September 9, scheduled before the regular Destiny 2 Weekly Reset. This broadcast will highlight the first major update for Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate, known as Ash & Iron. Unlike previous updates, Ash & Iron continues the "Fate Saga" established in the recent expansion, reintroducing The Plaguelands destination last seen in Destiny: Rise of Iron. The update will also introduce new activities like the Reclaim mission, alongside comprehensive balancing changes to the game's Sandbox.

However, the excitement doesn't end there. The Destiny 2 development team will also provide players with an exclusive preview of the upcoming Renegades expansion. As previously glimpsed by the community, Renegades appears heavily inspired by Star Wars, featuring numerous references and callbacks to the iconic franchise. These include a pistol resembling Han Solo's DL-44 blaster and an unmistakable Lightsaber-style sword wielded by the Warlock class. Fans can finally expect detailed information about what the Renegades expansion will offer when it arrives in December.

Many players are eagerly awaiting clarity on the future of Destiny 2's gameplay mechanics, particularly within the Portal system. Recent community controversy emerged after Bungie announced changes to certain Destiny 2 activities, including reduced powerful rewards for Solo Ops participants. The significant backlash prompted Bungie to reconsider these changes, and many community members hope to learn how the developers plan to address current power progression and reward systems.
