“Ash & Iron” is a major content update for Destiny 2 that is part of the game’s new content model following the launch of the Edge of Fate expansion. It is a free update for all players, not a paid DLC.

Release Date:
The update is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Destiny

Return of the Plaguelands: The update brings back the Plaguelands from Destiny 1 as a new patrol zone and location for a new activity.
New Activity: Reclaim: A new three-player survival activity is being added.
