'''Season of the Chosen''' is the thirteenth season of ''[[Destiny 2]]'', currently ongoing and scheduled to end on May 11th, 2021. It features the [[Cabal]] proposing an alliance with [[Humanity]] to purge the [[Hive]] from the system.
'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' was the thirteenth season of ''[[Destiny 2]]'' and the second seasonal content of ''[[Beyond Light]]'', which lasted from February 9th, 2021 to May 11th, 2021.
After their [[Torobatl|homeworld]] fell to the [[Hive]] under [[Xivu Arath, God of War]], the [[Cabal]] under [[Empress Caiatl]] proposed an alliance with [[Commander Zavala]] and the [[Vanguard]] to purge the [[Hive]] from the Sol system, only for tensions to skyrocket as Caiatl demands their fealty and Guardians must engage her champions in ritualistic combat.
