A new theory shared by Commander_Prime on Reddit suggests that the focus of Season of the Worthy will be on proving the Warmind Rasputin is worthy to the Vanguard and the Guardians at large. Because Rasputin is such a valuable entity in the Destiny 2 world, this theory suggests that Rasputin is necessary to push back the darkness but the Warmind has also made some questionable choices in the past.

Using the Grimoire Card “Ghost Fragment: Mysteries” and the Warmind prequel comic, Commander_Prime contradicts the competing theory that it will be the players’ Guardians that will need to prove their worth to Rasputin. According to those texts, the defeat of Xol in the Warmind campaign already proved that Guardians are worthy of Rasputin’s respect and so it wouldn’t make sense for them to have to do it again.
As part of the Warmind campaign, players brought Rasputin back into the fold, even though the Warmind has a checked past. But while Rasputin’s utility was shortsighted, it may have a bigger purpose if the triangle ships and the Darkness are to return in a future Destiny 2 Season. There are bound to be those with reservations, though, and this could set up the idea of Rasputin proving it is worthy.
Of course, this is just a theory even if there is some evidence in Destiny 2’s history to support it. With the name Season of the Worthy and the rumored return of Trials of Osiris, many members of the community believe that the central focus of Season 10 will be on reaching the Lighthouse in the fan favorite PvP mode. It has been suggested that “becoming worthy” will be the equivalent of going flawless in Trials’ past and will allow entry into the Lighthouse to collect rewards.
Regardless of how Season of the Worthy makes use of its namesake, there is a lot of mystery surrounding the upcoming Destiny 2 content. While past seasons have featured some hints about what is to come, this latest has only been revealed through leaks and datamines. Perhaps once Empyrean Foundation is complete, Bungie will offer more info about Season of the Worthy.
Destiny 2 is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
