Happy ~~reset day~~- actually, HAPPY WARMIND AND SEASON 3 DAY!!! Today's the big day!

This could very well be the biggest day for Destiny 2 since it's initial launch. Not only is the franchise's second expansion, Warmind, packed with new features and game modes, Season 3 comes with a long list of community desired features including ranked play, more vault space, exotic weapons changes, and more as listed below.

You can read the full patch notes here.

It's now time to return to Mars to help Ana Bray discover her past and destroy the Hive's gargantuan worm-god, Xol, before it's too late!

Who is Xol, you ask? Here's a description from Destinypedia (https://www.destinypedia.com/Xol,WilloftheThousands):

Xol, Will of the Thousands is one of the five Worm Gods, ancient beings second only to the Darkness itself in the hierarchy of the Hive pantheon. He leads the Grasp of Nokris, and will be the main antagonist of the Warmind expansion.

Xol originated as one of the great Worm Gods trapped beneath Fundament by the Leviathan, who helped orchestrate the rise of Oryx, the Taken King and the corruption of the Hive precursor race. After Oryx slew Akka, the Worm of Secrets, Xol began to fear that Yul, the Honest Worm would eventually turn against him in order to gain the strength needed to withstand Oryx. Making a pact with Oryx's abandoned child, Nokris, the two fled Fundament and sought a new world to rule.[3] Centuries prior to the events of Destiny 2, Xol became trapped under the Hellas Basin of Mars, before being freed by multiple Warsat impacts in the region

Now that we've gotten a glimpse of Xol, one of the 4 remaining worm-gods, I have no doubt that the creature majestically swimming deep within the oceans of Titan is one as well - either Eir, Ur, or Yul.
