Players will be able to get back into the game at 10:00 AM when the update becomes available worldwide on all platforms, but they might face sign-on issues as background maintenance will still be in progress. Clan features will likely be unavailable until the background maintenance concludes at 12:00 PM PDT.

Heresy will be the first episode in 2025, after which the teased content Codename Frontiers will be released. Though no solid details have been revealed yet, players can assume it will be worth the wait because it was specifically teased.
Year 11 of content has been teased twice in the past month, indicating that Bungie is planning something huge to blow the minds of players.
