There's one final event to close out the year in Destiny 2: The Dawning. If Festival of the Lost wasn't to your liking, then perhaps a more jolly seasonal event is right up your alley.
While not everything is known about the 2024 edition, Bungie has already revealed some details about this year's format and rewards players will be able to chase.
So, let's break down everything we know about The Dawning in 2024 so don't miss out on everything the final event of the year in Destiny 2 has to offer.
Destiny 2 The Dawning 2024 start date
Bungie has confirmed that The Dawning will begin on December 10. This means it will kick off just a couple of weeks after Episode: Revenant Act II begins.
Expect the event to last roughly three weeks, ending on Tuesday, December 31.

During the recent Episode: Revenant Act II livestream, Bungie revealed a brand-new weapon that players will be able to obtain during this year's Dawning event: the Mistral Lift linear fusion rifle.

The Dawning 2024 activities
Bungie hasn't confirmed what will be the main gameplay loop of The Dawning in 2024. Do expect it to not divert too much from previous years.
This means you will likely be tasked with baking cookies, gathering various ingredients from each location, and delivering those baked goods to NPCs to earn rewards.
