Destiny 2’s developer, Bungie, has announced its new release method for the game as it turns ten years old. From now on, Destiny 2 will go for a new model, providing players with two mid-sized expansions and four large free update each year, leaving behind the previous model of one large expansion each year.
This new direction is expected to improve the overall experience of the player by-establishing a multi-year saga with a nonlinear story, together with increasing systemic innovation, and greater improvements to core game activities and their rewards. The first expansion under this new model will be dubbed as Apollo, and is expected to launch in the summer of 2025; Mac Walters called the expansion a “nonlinear character-driven adventure”, which means that the events, which are connected to each other via interwoven threads, can be followed in parallel rather than in a linear fashion.
Destiny 2’s Evolving Narrative Structure
In essence, speaking the upcoming episodes of Destiny 2, Lührs, the narrative director calls them the epilogue to the Light and Dark arcs and the opening to the new arc. These episodes will definitely shut some doors while opening others as players prepare for an exciting journey which lies in store.
The new saga, kicking off with Codename: Apollo, will be based around a central theme preferential will be given to a single theme just like in Light and Darkness saga. The fans should be preparing for meeting new characters, factions and story arcs as the entertainment grows into years long journey. Besides, the seasons themselves will be redesigned, the UI of activities, and activity rewards will be changed in Destiny 2, which will make it more accessible to newcomers and those who returned to the game.
