Overview
- Bungie, which outlined the plan Wednesday, set Season 2: Nightfall for June 2 with a full reveal due the week of May 25.
- Season 2 adds the Night Marsh map, a new Runner shell, new weapons, and The Cradle, a system that lets players tune shell stats for custom builds.
- The first full reset will wipe Runner, Ranked, and Faction levels, credits, vaults, and unclaimed rewards, while cosmetics, Codex progress, faction access, LUX and SILK balances, and Reward Pass progress carry over.
- A pre-season 1.0.9 patch increases late-season rewards with guaranteed locked-room keys and map events, upgrades key templates, adds deluxe key drops from safes, buffs Rook’s Signal Mask, and opens the Cryo Archive activity daily from May 21 with a ranked window from May 24 to May 28.
- Sony cites strong reviews on Metacritic and Steam and pledges to retain core users with more content and fixes, as some players voice doubts that the new season will revive engagement.
