TL;DR
- Destiny 2 is too large to efficiently update and maintain.
- The size and complexity of the game are also contributing to more bugs and less innovation.
- Instead of building a Destiny 3 and leaving D2 behind, each year, we are going to cycle older, less actively played content out of the live game and into what we’re calling the Destiny Content Vault (DCV).
- This will allow us to add to and support D2 for years, including the three new annual expansions we announced today, starting with Beyond Light this fall.
- The DCV will include all content from Destiny 1 and anything that cycles out from Destiny 2.
- We will bring back (or “unvault”) activity and destination content from the DCV each year.
- Unvaulting starts in D2 Year 4, with the Cosmodrome coming back, as well as its three strikes and the return of the Vault of Glass raid.
- The primary D2 content leaving the game and going into the DCV this fall are the destinations – Mars, Io, Titan, Mercury and Leviathan – and their supported activities.
- There will be new ways to earn the Exotics originally linked to content that has entered the DCV.
- When Beyond Light ships, the Director will have the following destinations:
- Europa (new)
- Cosmodrome (unvaulted)
- Moon
- Tangled Shore
- Dreaming City
- European Dead Zone
- Nessus
- This approach allows us respond to player feedback more rapidly, enable more innovation, and will keep Destiny 2 and your characters thriving for years to come.
- More details to come soon and throughout the year.
Building a Viable Future in Destiny 2Earlier today, we laid out a vision for Destiny's future, built right inside of Destiny 2. A future where we maintain your characters, accounts, and continuity with our game systems and build on each of them for years. This fall ushers in a new era in Destiny's journey, launching off a trilogy of expansions where your Guardians will explore the true nature of Light and Dark:
Put plainly, we are investing in Destiny 2 for years to come. But to continue your Guardian’s journey and deliver on this roadmap, we need to make some changes to our ever-growing world so it can flourish.
