Destiny 2 is in a strange spot at the moment after the highs of last year's Final Shape gave way to middling episodic content for the first two episodes.

Thankfully, Episode 3 'Heresy' is here, and launches later on today to give players more to do, loot to claim, and even a surprise Star Wars crossover.

It's got us more than a little excited to hop back into the shooter/RPG hybrid, and if you're just as excited as we are, we've got a quick rundown of everything coming, and the release time for it.

Destiny 2 Update 8.2.0 Heresy release time

As is always the case, Heresy will arrive at weekly reset.

That's 5 PM GMT for UK gamers, meaning you'll see the game go offline around 4 PM before being prompted to back out and download the update on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

We're not yet sure how big the file will be, but expect server queues when you attempt to log back in.

Destiny 2 Update 8.2.0 full patch notes

Here's all we know that's coming so far, but Bungie has the full patch notes live too.

Star Wars armour

As part of the latest crossover event, Destiny 2 players will be able to enjoy new skins based on Stormtroopers and the Royal Guard from Star Wars, and they look incredible.

As always, these cosmetic armour sets will be available in the in-game Eververse Store, along with a ship (which looks to be Vader's TIE Advanced) and an as-yet unseen Finisher.

New activity

Perhaps most excitingly for anyone that loves roguelike games is The Nether.

This will involve some resource management as players juggle health and ammo drops, meaning a support-frame weapon is likely to be a must for harder encounters.

New Exotics and Weapons

We've seen fresh new weapons like the Lodestar Trace Rifle and Barrow-Dyad SMG, but we won't be getting any new Exotic Armour.

We are, however, getting fresh Arc Aspects and Artifact Perks so we can bring the lightning.

Some weapons are being reprised with fresh perks, too, and there will be new Legendary armour, at least.

New Dungeon

Sundered Doctrine, the game's latest Dungeon for three players, is arriving on February 7 (Friday) but we don't know a great deal about it just yet.
