Because Destiny 2 is one of the biggest games on the market at the moment, the seasonal model Bungie came up with makes a lot of sense due to how often it can provide new content for players. One of the pillars that make the very for the very foundation of live service games is having enough content for players to go through every now and then, which is why having new seasonal activities and storylines every three months works so well for Destiny 2. It's a way to make the game relevant throughout the year, even when there wouldn't be much to do otherwise, and this is further emphasized by the fact that there are recurring in-game events like the Festival of the Lost or the Dawning.

Every season is almost guaranteed to feature a specific event based on the time of year, and then there are activities like secret Exotic missions, such as Harbinger and Presage. These things make Destiny 2's community come together every single time thanks to convoluted puzzles to solve, competing in the Guardian Games, or even working out Raid secrets and the likes of them. And yet, after the current Festival of the Lost ends next Tuesday, players will have nothing much to look forward to in the game for at least a whole month, excluding a single Iron Banner round.

Destiny 2's Lack of Content in November is Great to Take a Break

Destiny 2's Season of the Lost is the longest ever for the game, with only Season of Arrivals coming close to it from before the release of the Beyond Light expansion in November of last year. The same thing happened with Season of the Lost, which presumably was only going to last three or four months before the pandemic hit, delaying work on The Witch Queen expansion for a few extra months. In fact, Season of the Lost is now going to end on February 22, when the next big expansion launches. This means it will have lasted for over six months when The Witch Queen drops next year.

This is an exceptionally long timeframe for a single season, and Bungie is slapping a bandaid on it by releasing the 30th Anniversary Pack in December, acting as a sort of Season 15 and a half to compensate for the lack of content in the holiday season. Still, there was no way Bungie could manage to make all six months a desirable time to play Destiny 2 because there wasn't enough time to do so, otherwise it's safe to assume that The Witch Queen would have been released according to schedule. As such, this November looks like a void month for the game, at least for those players who don't need to farm for gear or complete specific achievements.

For those who did all those things already or are starting to feel a bit overwhelmed by the game, now would be the perfect time to take a break and play other games. The 30th Anniversary Pack is confirmed to include all content at launch, too, so that gives Destiny 2 players a better idea of what to do until then, considering it drops on December 7. Titles like Forza Horizon 5, Battlefield 2042, and Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are all great alternatives, and all will be released next month.

One of Destiny 2's biggest problems is with FOMO, the fear of missing out, which is triggered by having content removed all the time or available for short spans of time. This approach can also make it easier to be stuffed up with the game because players will never really feel free to take even a week off. Thus, the "November void" is a great time to do something else, if players so wish, without the fear of missing out on anything too big.

Destiny 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.
