Destiny 2's current seasonal model is tired, and it knows that. After persisting for many years and following what is essentially the same pattern, Destiny 2's seasons are being retired in exchange for a brand-new episodic format. With the first starting just a week after the launch of Destiny 2's highly anticipated Final Shape expansion, each of Destiny 2's episodes will offer players three six-week-long story acts, along with new Exotic weapons and quests, new activities, new armor, and more. Despite giving up seasons, Destiny 2 will continue utilizing its season pass model, though some things will be different about them during the game's episodic era.
