Bungie has officially rolled out patch 1.1.2 that ushered in massive changes in "Destiny 2." It was then followed by the game's development roadmap that detailed the developer's future plans for the online-only shooter. However, it was observed that the game's next expansion - likely to be dubbed "Gods of Mars" was not mentioned. That being said, the devs made another follow up as to when it will be released.
Barrett confirms
Bungie's seemingly tireless Game Director Christopher Barrett has yet again taken to Twitter to announce that the mentioned game segment of "Destiny 2" will be out sometime in May.
He did not disclose a definite date on when will it go live, though he made sure that it will go alongside season 3. Additionally, he went on stating that such intel was not "entirely clear" from their recently released development roadmap.
Expansion 2 will launch in May alongside Season 3.

- Multi Emote
- Vault Space Increase
- Exotic Masterworks
- Eater of Worlds Prestige Mode
- Seasonal Crucible rankings
- Faction Rallies improvements

- Mods System improvements
Sandbox changes down the pipeline
DeeJ, on the other hand, also tweeted that Sandbox Design Lead Josh Hamrick will "speak at length" in today's blog post as he is slated to give out details about the sandbox changes that are bound to happen.
Something you've been talking about is probably on this list. We'll talk more about these developments before they arrive. Tomorrow, @Josh_Hamrick will speak at length on the blog about what the Sandbox Team is working on.

He gave a heads up though that the release dates of the inbound "D2" patches that were posted on the roadmap are still subject to change.
However, he assured the community that if such would happen, they'll be "refreshing the dialogue with new expectations."
Hoax
Meanwhile, the "Destiny 2" community is pretty much aware by now about the recent posting of Microsoft's official store regarding the game's second DLC. Nevertheless, the information that was posted on the DLC's description was pretty vague and there's nothing too much to talk about.
There's also an alleged leak coming from a Redditor known as DarkS0ul which he claimed to have come from the same store. It was, later on, found out that it was just an elaborate hoax and the Redditor already deleted the misleading post.
Update 1.1.3 will be released on February 27 while the next game tweak (1.1.4) will go live on March 27. Bungie has yet to disclose a specific release date for the "Gods of Mars" expansion and "Destiny 2's" third season. In the meantime, check out a video about the game here:
