Note: This article contains spoilers for the end of Destiny 2's Season of the Splicer, so you might want to complete the epilogue before reading further.

Two more weeks remain in Destiny 2's Season of the Splicer, but with the launch of the final Override activity, the story of the season seems to have officially concluded. The epilogue quest, "As Prophesied," closes off the story threads of the season, brings together its themes, and sets up where things are going as we draw nearer to Destiny 2's next expansion, The Witch Queen. In a big way, the Season of the Splicer also just upended a lot of long-standing elements in Destiny 2, and that could have a big impact on the game's future.

First, a quick rundown of everything that's happened during this season. After the Vex created the Endless Night simulation and Ikora recruited Mithrax and the House of Light Eliksni to help deal with it, we found ourselves in the uncomfortable situation of having Eliksni refugees in the Last City. After centuries of fighting the Fallen in a war that could have meant humanity's extinction, we were giving quarter to our longtime enemy. That angered a lot of people in the City, the loudest voice being that of Future War Cult leader Lakshmi-2.
