New Nightfall, Challenges, and Rewards

Updated June 6, 2025: Another week has come for Destiny 2, which means missions, challenges, and rewards have been reset. Episode Heresy rolls forward, though for this reset, fans are finally able to check out the Prophecy Dungeon for Destiny 2‘s Rite of the Nine activity. Starting today, players can grab two new quests that will reward special weapons, while also discovering new lore and what Bungie calls a “new height” in the Rite of the Nine social space.

Better yet, the change to the Rite of the Nine schedule in Destiny 2 means that starting on June 10, next week, will increase the rewards and weapon drops from Prophecy. Naturally, this means next week will be a great opportunity to not only stock up on items and resources, but to also obtain that perfect weapon roll.

Alongside Prophecy, the Destiny 2 weekly reset is back, bringing with it the usual refreshed content, activities, and rewards for players to chase over the next week. For a complete look at all the new content available for the week of June 3, including Nightfalls, Crucible modes, and challenges, here is everything players need to know.
