When Does Destiny 2 Season 19 Start?

When Does Destiny 2 Season 19 Start?

Every season in Destiny 2 will traditionally run for roughly three months (give or take a few days), with new weekly challenges released each week to keep players entertained alongside a seasonal storyline.

Year 5 of the game started with the release of Destiny 2: The Witch Queen which also kickstarted Season 16 ‘Season of the Risen’.

The current season is Season 17, known as ‘Season of the Haunted’ and it is planned to end on August 23, 2022. Barring any delays to the schedule from Bungie, this is when Destiny 2 Season 18 will begin.

Once Destiny 2 Season 18 begins, we should have a better idea of when Destiny 2 Season 19 begins. For now, we expect Season 19 to start on 22 November 2022 following the conclusion of the Destiny 2 Weekly Reset.

Traditionally on the day of release, the game will be brought offline for several hours of maintenance. Bungie normally announced this a few days in advance to give players fair warning.

Following the conclusion of maintenance, the new Destiny 2 patch will be released across all platforms and regions. At this point, players will normally be able to log back into Destiny 2. Although with so many players attempting to log back in, it’s typical for players to run into a ‘Destiny 2 Is Temporarily At Capacity’ error message.
