Destiny 2: Renegades is a medium-sized expansion for Destiny 2, a first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie. Representing the 10th expansion for the game, it was released on December 2, 2025, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It is the second expansion for Year 8 of the game, referred to as the "Year of Prophecy", following The Edge of Fate that released in July 2025.
The expansion follows the player's Guardian along with the Drifter, Eris Morn, Eido, and new Praxic Order member Aunor Mahal as they form an unlikely crew to fight the rising Barant Imperium, a new Cabal force led by the fallen Guardian-turned-villain Dredgen Bael, all while dealing with the fallout from The Edge of Fate prophecy and the mysterious plans of the Nine. The story sees the protagonists operating outside the Vanguard's direct support, establishing a base in Mars' Tharsis Cantina, and tackling bounties and major threats across Mars, Venus, and Europa, culminating in a battle against Bael's attempt to use a superweapon to reshape the galaxy.
The expansion is heavily inspired by Star Wars, with Bungie collaborating with Lucasfilm Games on the narrative and gear featured in the expansion, such as the Praxic Blade, Destiny 2's version of the lightsaber. It also added new content across the game, including new missions, Player versus Environment (PvE) locations, Player versus Player (PvP) maps, player gear, weaponry, and a new dungeon, "Equilibrium", which was released on December 13, 2025. Additionally, the expansion sees the return of missions on the planet Venus, not including the Vault of Glass raid that was ported from the original Destiny (2014) as an extra playable activity during Year 4's Season of the Splicer. Renegades began Season: Lawless for Year 8, with the season's major update planned for June 2026; it was originally scheduled for March and was to be named Shadow & Order, but due to major revisions and change in scope for the update, it was delayed and will also be renamed.
