Season of the Hunt is the twelfth season of Destiny 2 and the flagship season of Beyond Light, occurring from November 10th, 2020 until February 9th, 2021. It kicked off the launch of the expansion and began its first seasonal launch on November 17th, 2020.

In the aftermath of the arrival of the Black Fleet and the on-going fight against the House of Salvation on Europa, the Hive god Xivu Arath makes her move upon the Sol System and sends her High Celebrant to raise an army of Wrathborn in the Reef. Now Guardians must hunt down the Wrathborn and kill the High Celebrant with the aid of Osiris, The Spider and a renegade Lightbearer known only as The Crow.

Story: Rise Of A Hive God

"Entire planets have vanished. In the chaos that follows, Xivu Arath, the Hive God of War boldly moves to seize power. If left unchecked, she threatens a solar system already in turmoil. While investigating the growing threat, Osiris finds himself in need of help. Fortunately, a new – and yet familiar – ally known as the Crow joins you in the rescue..."

Overview
