Each season is now called an Episode, lasting for approximately four months.
It’s more of a content delivery shakeup than a proper rework to Destiny’s seasonal offerings.
That goes for Seasonal Challenges as well, which are all mostly the same as before.
Complete the challenge, and you’ll earn a large chunk of XP and some Bright Dust.
There are 15 sets of Seasonal Challenges this Episode, so let’s go over them.
