Season of the Drifter (also known as Joker's Wild) is the sixth season of Destiny 2 and the second seasonal content of the Forsaken Annual Pass, which began March 5th, 2019 and ended on June 4th, 2019.

This season focuses on the Drifter as he unveils a new mode of Gambit much to controversy within the Vanguard and doing so splits the allegiance of Guardians between him and them; all while the mysterious Emissary of the Nine reveal visions to the Guardians of the Drifter's past and of enemies yet to come.
