Destiny 2 Warmind expansion revealed – release date, season 3, Crucible changes and more
A major new Destiny 2 update is in the works, and early details about it have already been revealed
GOOD news, Destiny 2 fans – the release date and key details about the game's second expansion have been revealed.
Bungie confirmed that the downloadable expansion pack would be called Warmind in a blog post.
Destiny 2 Warmind release date – when is the second expansion out?
According to Bungie, the second Destiny 2 expansion will land on May 8.
However, we'll hear a lot more about the new DLC before then.
The big showing will be on April 24, where Bungie will offer up new details.
It's also likely we'll see some actual gameplay footage of the expansion then too.
Destiny 2 Warmind – what to expect
There isn't a huge amount of detail about Destiny 2 Warmind – yet.
We do know that the expansion's release will be timed to coincide with the competitive play Season Three.
In a brief teaser, Bungie wrote: "It will send you to new places to meet new heroes and battle new enemies.
"You'll earn new loot and master new activities," the game studio added.
Destiny 2 Season 3 – what's new?
Season Three will also mark the introduction of a new way of delivering Crucible content.
Every Destiny 2 player will get all of the new Crucible Maps being developed for Warmind in matchmaking.
The same is true for all of the maps that were released for the first expansion – Curse of Osiris.
It's part of an overarching strategy to keep the Crucible community "unified", rather than splitting them up based on who has what expansion.
Everyone will see new arenas in matchmade playlists like Quickplay, Competitive, Trials of the Nine, Iron Banner, and the new weekly rotators – including Rumble and Mayhem.

However, with the arrival of Private Matches, you'll need to purchase each expansion to get exclusive access to play those Crucible maps with other players in a private game.
This new plan will go live on Warmind release day – May 8.
