Destiny 2 Weekly Update: Fresh Nightfall, Challenges, and Rewards

Updated June 3, 2025: A new week has arrived in Destiny 2, prompting the reset of missions, challenges, and rewards. The Episode Heresy maintains momentum, and this week, players can finally access the Prophecy Dungeon as part of the Rite of the Nine activity. Commencing today, gamers can embark on two new quests that not only yield special weapons but also reveal fresh lore and what Bungie describes as a «new height» in the Rite of the Nine social space.

In addition, adjustments to the Rite of the Nine schedule indicate that from June 10 onwards, players will experience increased rewards and weapon drops from Prophecy. This makes the upcoming week an excellent opportunity to gather items and resources, as well as acquire that ideal weapon roll.

The routine weekly reset for Destiny 2 has returned, offering refreshed content, activities, and rewards for players to pursue throughout the week. For a detailed overview of all new content available for the week of June 3, including Nightfalls, Crucible modes, and challenges, here’s what players should know.
