Bungie has revealed a sneak peek at the new Artifact for Episode Revenant. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect from the upcoming perks.
Revenant, the second episode in Destiny 2’s Final Shape year, is nearly upon us! With just one week before the official release, Episode Revenant brings new life to the ongoing Fallen storyline, with none other than Fikrul, Master of Souls, taking center stage as the primary antagonist–and yes, that’s his new title.
Much like Episode Echoes, Revenant promises brand-new content, including new quests, legendary weapons and armor, new seasonal activities, and Exotic rewards.
Perhaps most exciting, Bungie has officially announced a new dungeon coming in this episode called “Vesper’s Host.” Learn more about its release date and exotic weapon here.
