![]() ![]() As of now, Bungie’s plan is to keep evolving Destiny 2 – like World of Warcraft and other MMOs – instead of releasing a new game every few years. Lightfall, the penultimate chapter of The Light and Darkness Saga, arrives on February 28, 2023. If you want to experience the post-Y1 campaigns, raids, Nightfall strikes, proper endgame, and much more, you’ll eventually need to grab the expansions (which aren’t too expensive on sale): Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, and The Witch Queen. Thankfully, the game now has a quick timeline of major past events to get newcomers up to speed as soon as they enter the game through its new introductory missions. The sad catch is that much of that early content, including the original Red War campaign, has been “vaulted” for in-universe reasons – and because the game was becoming too big – though it all may return at a later date. As of now, Destiny 2 has become a “live universe” that permanently changes over time alongside the story and gameplay additions.ĭestiny 2: New Light is the free-to-play base game, which includes all Year 1 content and access to all destinations (including those in paid expansions) and basic activities and progression. In fact, you might feel slightly lost at the start of some expansions if you haven’t paid attention to the narrative of previous seasons. In between expansions, free seasons (with optional paid extras) and events keep both the gameplay loop and expansive storytelling alive. Past 2019 and into the current decade, Destiny 2 has embraced the yearly model that has made several MMO games successful in the past: one paid expansion arrives each year, introducing large chunks of content and big story chapters. Shortly afterwards, Bungie announced it was breaking away from publisher Activision to seek independence and total control over the IP. ![]() Launch woes and a number of concerns regarding the expansion model made its first steps a bit slow, but Destiny 2 picked up with the launch of Forsaken (2018), its meatiest expansion so far, and several key reworks. ![]() In 2017, Destiny 2 continued the main story and brought the franchise to PC for the first time. Destiny started in 2014 as Bungie’s brand-new sci-fi universe/franchise, though growth plans back then were much different. ![]()
