A new chapter for Guardians is on the horizon. Bungie has officially confirmed The Edge of Fate, the next major Destiny 2 content drop—and with it comes more mysteries surrounding the Nine. Here’s everything we know so far, ahead of the May 6 reveal event.
🗓️ The Edge of Fate Reveal Event Date
Table of Contents
Bungie will reveal full details about Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate on May 6, 2025.
This date also marks the launch of Episode: Heresy – Rite of the Nine, which appears to be heavily connected to The Edge of Fate, judging by the teaser’s visuals and symbolic ties to the elusive faction known as the Nine.
❗ Expect lore revelations, gameplay previews, and roadmap confirmations for the rest of 2025 and beyond.
What Is The Edge of Fate?
While not yet confirmed as the expansion’s final release title, The Edge of Fate is likely the official name of what was previously codenamed Apollo, one half of the two-part expansion arc referred to internally as Frontiers.
This marks the next major content milestone following The Final Shape (June 2024) and the three narrative Episodes (Echoes, Revenant, and Heresy) that bridged the gap.
🧩 Teaser Clues
- Iconography in the teaser directly matches that of the Nine
- The Emissary, who featured in Trials of the Nine, may return
- Unknown Space, Xur’s rumored origin, could finally be explored
🚨 No official release date has been shared yet, but with Episode Heresy ending July 15, a late summer launch seems likely.
👁️ Who Are the Nine?
“No one knows who, or what, the Nine truly are.”
The Nine are a shadowy collective shrouded in Destiny lore since the original game. They’re known to operate from a place called Unknown Space, and are most closely associated with Xur, the weekly vendor of Exotic gear.
Other known links:
- The Emissary, seen in Trials of the Nine, is an Awoken figure tied to their ranks.
- The Nine have had indirect influence over both PvE and PvP content throughout Destiny 2’s lifecycle.
With The Edge of Fate spotlighting their iconography, Bungie appears ready to finally bring the Nine into center stage.
