![]() What Destiny 2 taketh away it giveth back! Sunsetting of weapons has been a controversial part of Destiny 2 since it was introduced, and while the intent to keep player arsenals fresh by adding a power-level expiry date to gear was noble, in reality it was an annoying reminder that everything you’d spent time obtaining was going to be less useful than a pea shooter when the next season rolled around.īungie’s changing gunsetting up, although current older weapons that have already become obsolete within the system won’t be made relevant all of a sudden. Destiny 2 will still continue to exist after those content drops land, but we’ll be in new territory. Instead, the plan now is for The Witch Queen to arrive in 2022, Lightfall afterwards, and then a final expansion that will definitively conclude the Light and Darkness Saga. ![]() Even Destiny 2’s narrative structure is getting a shake-up, as The Witch Queen expansion was meant to lead directly into its paradigm shift add-on Lightfall a year later. With so much leading to and dependent on what happens in The Witch Queen, we wanted to make sure that we gave ourselves enough time to build out this journey in the right way, starting with an exceptional first chapter in The Witch Queen.īungie also plans to continue work to “upgrade the systemic foundation of Destiny 2 to support everything we want to do in the future,” and maintain Destiny 2’s level of quality in a manner that doesn’t put undue stress on the game’s developers. “Beyond Light built the foundation and allowed us to weave the world-building of Destiny and Destiny 2 together, but The Witch Queen will light the fire on a strongly interconnected narrative across Lightfall and beyond, unlike anything we’ve ever attempted before, with characters, arcs, heroes and villains that persist over multiple future releases,” Bungie wrote. This means that Destiny 2’s next expansion, The Witch Queen, will no longer arrive in 2021 and is now scheduled for release in “the early half of 2022.” The Witch Queen, Lightfall, and beyondĪs Bungie explained in its latest blog post, pushing back the release of The Witch Queen was done “primarily for the health of the team,” as this expansion is shaping up to introduce changes which could be on par with the original Destiny’s Taken King. The first notable one? Annual expansions are no longer a thing, as Bungie is changing up the cadence for when those game-changing upgrades are released. Destiny 2 has always been a game that you could set your clock to, but some big changes are on the way to Bungie’s sandbox.
