Destiny 2 Echoes Act 3 Exotic Mission
In a recent interview with GamesRadar+, the assistant game director of Destiny 2, Robbie Stevens gave us a taste of what to expect from this upcoming exotic mission. “We have an Exotic mission coming in Echoes Act Three,” Stevens revealed.
“It is one of the biggest Exotic missions we’ve ever built, and it’s only possible because of this new content cadence. The ability for us to build this massive Exotic mission – literally one of the biggest – it wouldn’t have been possible in the past.
“This is where we see the [development] team taking the opportunity, their willingness to change, their willingness to adapt to this new cadence with us, and really seize the opportunity to expand Nessus, expand this world.
“Because a lot of us, with Destiny, we think of it as a living world, right? A world that is expanding and changing throughout time. And we would not have been able to expand Nessus in this way without the Episode.”

That’s right – after so many requests, Nessus is finally getting some much-needed love in this episode, and it’s all thanks to the new episodic model that’s allowed Bungie to stretch their creative muscles in ways that weren’t possible before.
As of right now, Bungie has not revealed any details on the release date for this new exotic mission.
The new exotic mission isn’t the only major content drop coming during this next Act. It’s also been revealed via datamined leaks that Bungie is planning a Destiny 2 10th Anniversary update that will introduce a brand-new armor set to the game, as well as a new seal and title.
