Happy 10th Anniversary Destiny! To celebrate the big milestone, Bungie has a few things to share regarding the future of the franchise. As we all know, Sony performed a little “rightsizing” of Bungie unfortunately, so the studio needed to pivot in a little different direction with the title.
There will be no Destiny 3 at this time and the large expansions are a thing of the past at the moment. In its place will be a new model which will consist of two medium-sized expansions along with 4 free content updates each year, which is expected to add up to a continuous multi-year saga. The first drop, which will kick off Summer 2025, will be known as Codename Frontiers and will include a pair of expansions titled Apollo and Behemoth — each with seasons of their own and respective major updates. The updates will include a non-linear story, updates and improvements to core activities, new and enhanced game systems and more. Confused? See the roadmap below.
Definitely also stop by the official Bungie Blog for additional details, and stay tuned for more info and deep dives from the studio between now and then.
Other than the new roadmap and content for 2025, Bungie also provided some details on the 10th anniversary festivities which will include in game and physical items such as class armor inspired by the original Destiny concept designs, a new Legend Title with access to a Bungie Rewards NERF LMTD Destiny 2 Ace of Spades Blaster, a Legends of Destiny Art Tour event taking place in Los Angeles, New York, and London, and more.
Today, Bungie is revealing major changes for the future of Destiny 2, which will adopt a new model moving forward featuring two medium-sized expansions and four major free content updates annually. This evolution aims to enhance the player experience through a new multi-year saga, introducing a non-linear story, more systemic innovation, and significant improvements to core game activities and rewards. Players can look forward to this new model starting with Codename Apollo, a nonlinear character-driven adventure and the first of the new expansion model, releasing in Summer of 2025.
Bungie is committed to ongoing dialogue with the Destiny 2 community and will be releasing a series of Developer Insight Deep Dives over the coming months. For a comprehensive look into the upcoming innovations and strategic direction, read the full blog post here.
