Bungie is getting ready to launchDestiny 2Season 19, and the free-to-play FPS has received a new in-game cutscene ahead of its release that caps off the Season of Plunder with an epilogue.Destiny 2entered the Season of Plunder with a late August update that provided a season pass, pirate hideouts, a new expedition, and Season 19 is set to introduce plenty of its own content when it starts on December 6.
Destiny 2just dropped a Season of Plunder video that focuses on Osiris and Saint-14 in a classic hand-drawn animated art style as opposed to the usual CG visuals that fans are used to seeing alongside expansion launches. Similar to howDestiny 2’s Season of Plunderencompassed the Halloween holiday season with an event called Festival of the Lost, Season 19 will include the Winter seasonal activities with the return of the Dawning. Beyond this and the expected battle pass,Destiny 2will also see an overhauled Crucible PvP experience, a new dungeon, and subclass changes with the transition into Season 19.

The Season of Plunder epilogue clip posted to YouTube by Esoterickk begins with Mithrax and his allies being helped by the Guardians in the Last City, acentral hub ofDestiny 2, as Osiris fades away in his bed with Saint-14 helplessly watching. During Mithrax’s studies, a mass of primal darkness is distilled into a drinkable potion that restores a deathly ill Osiris who is being tended to by Saint-14. The cutscene then shows Osiris' infirmary room filling with visible memories as the character explains that the distilled energy helped him remember the thoughts and fears of the Witch Queen, one ofDestiny 2’s most prominent villains to date.
During the Esoterickk YouTube video, Osiris states that there’s a secret power hidden on Neptune which he discovered through the cosmic connection toDestiny 2antagonist the Witch Queen. The clip concludes with birds flying into the Cosmodrome horizon after Osiris and Saint-14 embrace each other for the first time since his coma began in theCurse of OsirisDLC. Because the YouTube clip ends by loading the player’s ship in orbit, this Season of Plunder epilogue animated cutscene may be available upon loadingDestiny 2, soplayers can refresh their memory on the lore leading up to Season 19.
ManyDestiny 2players have expressed their entertainment by the fact that Mithrax could turn Nezarec into what appears to be tea in response to the Esoterickk clip, while others have celebrated the unification of Osiris and Saint-14. With much of the community anticipating the arrival ofDestiny 2Season 19in December, some players have voiced their enthusiasm for the additional lore context leading up to the update.
