A number of changes--along with a seasonal event--are on the way to Destiny 2 in the coming weeks. Bungie has announced preliminary details about two updates that are set to launch before the end of October, as well as the start date for Festival of the Lost.The annual Halloween event starts on October 16.

This is tentatively set to make some of the changes that have been mentioned previously.
