The Edge of Fate will be the starting chapter in Year of Prophecy, and the first expansion being released on July 16, 2025. As per the released trailer, the entire expansion seems to be revolving around the 'Nine' race, alongside new enemies, locations, and more.

The Edge of Fate will also host multiple changes to the core game, such as Armor 3.0, a complete UI rework, and armor sets. However, none of that will be explained here. Interested readers can tune into The Edge of Fate VOD for increased details.

I) Ash and Iron

Ash and Iron will be the major update revealed alongside The Edge of Fate expansion. Major updates will replace the seasonal model from before and will be free for all players. However, note that both the expansion and the following update will have separate reward passes.

Ash and Iron will release on September 9, 2025.

2) Renegades

Renegades will be the second expansion in the Year of Prophecy, scheduled for December 2, 2025. Similar to The Edge of Fate, Renegades will be a paid expansion alongside a free major update. Nothing much is known regarding the content and story, except for the fact that Bungie has taken several inspirations from Star Wars.

II) Shadow and Order

Shadow and Order will be the major free update for the Renegades expansion, scheduled for March 3, 2026. Again, not much has been announced regarding this, except for its name.
