But fear not, dear Guardians, as the developer will be revealing all very soon in no less than three livestreams on itsTwitch channel. “Each will focus on a different part of the content update and be presented by our developers,” reads the post onBungie’s official website, “who will be sharing tons of information and providing a hands-on preview.”

The first of these will take place next week on Tuesday, March 19, at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 5 PM GMT. The next will air on March 26, and the final one is scheduled for April 2. The time and place for both are the same as the first.
