A new in-game event has gone live in Destiny 2, giving you a chance at some new gear and challenges through August 28. Best of all this is considered a holiday event, which means it's free for all players regardless of whether you've purchased either of the expansions or the season pass.

　　In Solstice of Heroes, you can talk to Ikora to play through reimagined story sequences, along with reworked Strikes and PvP matches. You can upgrade a new armor set to level 400 as well, which will make for a nice powered-up set in preparation for Forsaken in September. This is the only way to achieve a level 400 armor before then.

　　You can also snag some neat cosmetics from the Eververse, either by completing in-game challenges or purchasing loot boxes. All of this comes alongside the 1.2.3.1 patch, which squashes a few bugs to the Fabled Guardian Triumph and storing items in your Vault.

　　This lays the groundwork for the Forsaken expansion, which will release on September 4, just a week after Solstice ends. That expansion will introduce a ton of new weapons and gadgets, a new story that appears to signal the probable death of Cayde-6, a new faction, new Supers, and a new Raid. It will cost $40 by itself, or you can pay $70 for the Annual Pass. For more details, check out our pre-order guide.
