Get ready, Guardians! Bungie has just announced an exciting lineup for Destiny 2, packed with two new expansions and significant updates to the core game, all under the banner of the "Year of Prophecy." This year promises four "major content beats," featuring two paid expansions and two free major updates, ensuring something for everyone in the Destiny community.
Kicking off the year is the "Rite of the Nine," a free update already available to all players. This update offers a fresh take on dungeon diving, appealing to both seasoned players and newcomers. The dungeons—Prophecy, Spire of the Watcher, and Ghosts of the Deep—will feature unique twists, allowing players to reconnect with Orin and enjoy refreshed dungeon weapons.
Next up, on July 15, comes the highly anticipated expansion, Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate. This paid expansion marks the beginning of a multiyear saga centered around the enigmatic Nine, ancient beings predating the Traveler. Players will encounter new characters, including the ally Lodi and the Warlock Vanguard, Ikora. The action unfolds on Kepler, a new destination designed to challenge players with puzzles and deep exploration, introducing new enemies, weapons, gear, and destination-specific abilities.
Simultaneously, on July 15, major core game innovations will be introduced. These include revamped armor and gear systems to enhance buildcrafting, and a new activity selection screen, the Portal. This screen will allow players to choose from Fireteam Ops, Pinnacle Ops, Crucible Ops, and the newly introduced Solo Ops, catering to different play styles and preferences. With 50 new modifiers, players can tailor their gameplay for a more personalized and challenging experience.
As with any new expansion, pre-order bonuses are available, offering instant unlocks of exclusive Exotic Ghosts and Legendary Emblems. Here's a detailed look at the pre-order options:
The Edge of Fate Pre-Order includes:
Year of Prophecy Edition Pre-Order includes:
Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition Pre-Order includes:
A Year of Prophecy Collector's Edition is also available, though pre-orders for the physical edition have sold out.
Following The Edge of Fate, the second major update, Ash & Iron, will launch on September 9, alongside the second expansion, Renegades, on December 2. The year will conclude with the Shadow & Order update on March 3.
Destiny 2: Renegades, the second expansion, draws inspiration from the "legendary Star Wars universe," blending Destiny's unique storytelling and gameplay with iconic sci-fi elements.
These announcements come at a crucial time for Bungie, following the layoffs of 220 staff members in July 2024, just under a year after another 100 layoffs. Despite these challenges, Bungie remains committed to delivering rich content for Destiny 2 players.
In addition to Destiny 2, Bungie is also working on Marathon, a reboot of their classic franchise. Revealed in May 2023, the first real look at Marathon came recently, with IGN's hands-on preview expressing optimism about its potential to satisfy the Bungie PvP community when it launches on PC and consoles in September.
