TL;DR -
- Torch has been passed from team who made Destiny 2 to the team that is maintaining it aka the Live Team.

- New pursuites, rituals, and challenges.
- And more..
- Examples: Iron Banner, Faction Rally's, etc.
- Expansion 1 - Winter 2017 aka Osiris DLC
- Seasons:
- Max level so that old/smaller clans have a chance vs only larger more active clans to dominate. Keeps everything on a more fair level.
- Seasons have themes associated with them. They take feedback from the community for adding and adjusting things such as new emotes, rewards, etc.

- More predictable time tables (what to expect and when)
- Destiny 2 year 1: 4 seasons
- Make big changes to the game

- Iron Banner - What Bungie Learned:
- 1,500 YEARS worth of time played between all guardians.
