Alongside the expansion reveal, Bungie announced that previous expansions Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, and The Witch Queen are available to access for free during this week. The developer also announced its newest content season, Season of Plunder, which is available now. The content sees players challenging Eramis, the Kell of Darkness, after she escapes and begins hunting down dark relics with her outlaw crew.

Finally, Bungie announced a partnership with Epic, which brings Destiny 2′s PC version to the Epic Games Store, free for a limited time.
