Destiny 2 Season of the Seraph is the next entry in The Witch Queen chapter, leading up to the Lightfall expansion. As confirmed by Bungie's official reveal regarding Season 19, players will be facing Hive force across multiple matchmaking activities.

As teased by the company, the launch trailer regarding Season of the Seraph shows Ana Bray and her quest to manifest the Rasputin AI in an Exo body. Typically, Guardians will play a big part in helping create weekly quests and updates.

The Destiny 2 community finally has information regarding Season 19 ahead of its launch

Destiny 2 Season 19, titled Season of the Seraph, will go live in the upcoming weekly reset and stay until Lightfall releases next year on February 28. Hence, there is a lot of ground for Bungie to cover following the controversial secrecy approach the company has taken.

The official trailer showcased bits and pieces of upcoming stories, activities, weapons, and enemy types. Hence, it can be safely assumed that the main goal for players ahead of Lightfall is weaponizing the most powerful AI in the game, Rasputin. Several dialogs and scenes from the trailer confirm this.

However, by digging a little deeper, players will find additional information on the Season of the Seraph by going to Bungie's official website. The company has also put in the following description to summarize the theme of the season:

The Hive God of War moves to seize control of Rasputin’s network of weaponized satellites. In her hands, she would turn its devastating power on the Last City. To stop her, the Vanguard has authorized special covert operations armed with the Warmind’s most advanced weaponry. Agents conducting these operations are known as Seraphs.

The matchmaking activity will be called "Heist Battlegrounds," where players might have to take a stealth approach on what appears to be lethal lasers in the trailer. Since the description of this activity states "fireteam," each player can matchmaker with a party of three or solo with two randoms.

The Exotic mission will also go live with the season, where everyone has to take a walk down memory lane and infiltrate an orbital platform above Last City. The page also features an Exotic weapon called Revision Zero, which seems to take a different approach toward catalysts.
