We got a Destiny 2 Season of Plunder trailer and tons of details about the latest season

The Destiny 2 Season of Plunder trailer has dropped and there's a lot to unpack - including the revival of Eramis, the main antagonist from Destiny 2 Beyond Light, and the return of the fan-favorite Destiny 1 raid King's Fall.

This will kick off a suite of swashbuckling loot and game modes coming in Season of Plunder, including new Exotics, seasonal story missions, the Ketchcrash and Expedition activities, and a brand-new Season Pass to work your way through. Some activities, including new Pirate Hideouts and the King's Fall raid, will be free to all players as well.

Destiny 2 Season of Plunder is also bringing the Arc 3.0 upgrade, one final update to the Light subclasses that will expand your build-crafting options with electrifying mobility and handheld lightning. 

This season runs from today, August 23 through to December 6. Starting August 26, you'll get to re-infiltrate the lair of the Taken King and snatch all the returning armor and weapons tucked away inside of it. 

The Season will also debut a new Exotic Fusion Rifle called Delicate Tomb and other pirate-themed Legendaries and Exotics. Of course, all of the outfits available to you will be pirate-themed as well, so it'll be a very seaworthy season Destiny.

The Season of Plunder was announced not long after the hotly anticipated Lightfall reveal trailer. Destiny 2 Lightfall is the next expansion coming in February, and it heavily features Calus, Destiny 2's original raid boss. Calus is now a servant of the Witness, the scion of the Darkness - and no, that's not good, not for us or the Neptunian city of Neomuna. 

Destiny 2 Season 18 might have the best artifact mods of all time.
