Destiny 2 Ditches Annual Add-Ons for Two Medium Expansions

Bungie has announced a significant shift in how it will deliver content for Destiny 2 starting in 2025. Instead of the traditional annual expansions, the studio will now focus on two medium-sized expansions each year, alongside four major free updates. This change is a response to feedback indicating that previous expansions felt formulaic and lacked long-term engagement. Game Director Tyson Green emphasized the need for innovation in Destiny 2's content delivery model, moving away from the linear storytelling utilized since Shadowkeep. There are upcoming updates culminating in a paid expansion dubbed Codename: Apollo in summer 2025 and another named Behemoth set for winter 2025.

The upcoming expansions for Destiny 2 include Codename: Apollo in summer 2025 and Behemoth in winter 2025. Additionally, there will be four free updates throughout the year, aiming to enhance user engagement and exploration.

Destiny 2 is an online multiplayer first-person shooter that has continuously evolved since its 2017 launch. Initially released by Bungie, it built on the foundation of the original Destiny game, offering a rich universe filled with lore, cooperative gameplay, and competitive modes. The game's expansions have greatly influenced its story and player engagement, making this new approach aimed at diversity and innovation particularly significant for the franchise's future.
