Summary
Following the release of The Final Shape, Bungie outlines whereDestiny 2is going in 2024 and beyond, outlining the next 3 content episodes and teasing what comes after. Excitement in theDestiny 2community appears to be at an all-time high, as The Final Shape has finally launched after a big delay and, for most, it has delivered an experience worthy of capping off the journey to this point. Alongside a climatic final battle with The Witness, this expansion has added a wealth of content which aims to keep players busy well after the campaign comes to an end.
With The Final Shape finally putting an end to the decade-long Light and Darkness saga, fans began wondering what was next for the online game. Last year, Bungie teased fans with its plans, announcing a shift away fromtraditionalDestiny 2seasons into Episodic content, though details at that time were fairly slim. With the launch of The Final Shape, players saw a bit more details for Episode 1: Echoes, which seemed to place an emphasis on Failsafe and the Nessus destination. Now, thanks to a new trailer, fans have a better understanding as to where Bungie intends to takeDestiny 2next.
Revealed inside a newDestiny 2trailer, Bungie detailed each of the three new episodes the studio previously revealed. Starting on June 11, Episode 1: Echoes will begin, bringing players back to Nessus where the Vex have begun acting strangely amid major changes happening to the destination.Destiny 2players will be working with the chaotic AI known as Failsafeonce more and take on a new 3-person, arena-style activity where players are fighting waves of enemies while capturing points before a mysterious new enemy and lost civilization appears.
Destiny 2 Episodes Roadmap
Episode 2, known as Revenant, places the focus on the Fallen enemy faction as they continue to look for a new home. Bungie describes episode 2 as having dark fantasy themes like vampires mixed with the techno style seen through the House of Light leader, Misraaks. During this episode, players will take part in potion crafting, being able to make combat and loot-specific enhancements that is intended to give more agency over what sort of pursuits they want to chase while playing. The big bad for this season isFikrul from the Forsaken expansionand former leader of the Scorned Barons, who has now moved into an Awoken Watchtower, which Bungie indicated features design inspirations taken from the horror genre.
Finally, Episode 3 is called Heresy and may be the most unique of the trio that have been announced. Not only does this episode focus on the Hive Pantheon, but it brings back the massivelypopular Dreadnaught destination from the originalDestiny. However, there’s a new “eldrich force” that is opening doors and mysteries, including the Dreadnaught, which Bungie is designing to hold plenty of secrets to uncover and new weapons which look like they’re being peeled back, revealing bones.
However, following the three episode reveal, Bungie left one major tease forDestiny 2fans at the end, revealing that there will be a Year 11 of content, and it’s currently known as Codename Frontier. Unfortunately, nothing else was revealed, leaving the community to endlessly speculate over what this could mean, either as another episode or something more significant.
