Get ready, Guardians! Destiny 2 has unveiled its Year of Prophecy roadmap, featuring an exciting Star Wars-inspired expansion pass. Dive into the details to discover what's in store for the game this year and what exclusive benefits await with each edition.
Destiny 2 continues to captivate players with fresh content for the popular free-to-play multiplayer shooter. At the Edge of Fate reveal livestream on May 7, developer Bungie showcased the Year of Prophecy roadmap, outlining the upcoming events for the rest of the year.
This year-long series of events introduces a new format for annual updates. According to Bungie, "Starting with the Year of Prophecy, each year will now feature four major content drops: two paid expansions and two major updates accessible to all players."
These updates will include new events, Exotic Missions, gear, rewards, and more. Importantly, this new structure ensures that all players can enjoy Destiny 2's major updates without needing to pay for seasonal activities.
Kicking off the Year of Prophecy, Destiny 2's first expansion, The Edge of Fate, launches on July 15. Players will explore a new destination, Kepler, and harness unique abilities with the help of new allies.
This update also introduces new features like the Portal, "a new activity selection screen designed to offer instant access to a variety of activities tailored to different playstyles, making it easier than ever for players to embark on their next adventure."
Additionally, there will be enhancements to the game's armor and tiering systems, new set bonuses, and a character stats rework. More details on these changes will be shared in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out.
Later this year, on December 2, Destiny 2 will release its second expansion, Renegades, in collaboration with the iconic Star Wars franchise.
This expansion blends Destiny's innovative storytelling and gameplay with Star Wars' iconic elements and themes, crafting a sci-fi chapter that honors both universes. The story and events within this collaboration are crucial to the Fate Saga, introducing new characters, mechanics, and much more.
