'Destiny 2' Season 19 release date, leaks: Here's are the weapons changes and the story next season

"Destiny 2" Season 19's release date is December 6, 2022. Season 19 will run until February 28, 2023, which is also the arrival of Lightfall alongside Season 20, according to Dexerto.

However, players should expect some downtime due to maintenance, which will prepare the game for the release of "Destiny 2" patch 6.3.0. Bungie Support announced that maintenance for "Destiny 2" Season 19 will start at 5 am PST/8 am EST, according to Ginx.tv. Players must note that they will be kicked from the game at 6:30 am PST/9:30 am EST in preparation for the new update.

'Destiny 2' Season 19 will introduce a new dungeon

The new season will also introduce a new dungeon in the game as confirmed by Bungie. The developer has added a new end-game PvE activity starting in The Witch Queen expansion.

For instance, Bungie added the Duality Dungeon in Season 17, while Season 18 added the King's Fall Raid. Thus, it is not surprising that "Destiny 2" Season 19 will be getting another Dungeon as well. However, the theme of the new dungeon or its loot pool is not yet available at the time of writing.
