New Destiny 2 Roadmap Announced!

It has been a while since I played Destiny 2 which I continue to put as my favorite video game series I have ever played in the new online era of video gaming (cannot take that away from Zelda series). In fact, I have missed the last two Seasons within the game despite having preordered them with the Deluxe Edition of the latest iteration of the main game last year. However, since announcing their departure from Activision as their main investor, I have been eager to see where this will lead the group of talented developers. They have now announced the timeline for the game for the next three years for players to prepare!

Many say that it was disappointing to see that a Destiny 3 was not announced as it will continue to be expanded upon the Destiny 2 platform. However, they have announced an interesting transition to the next generation of game consoles. They will allow players to move into the next generation of consoles with all of their progress for free! In addition, they will be able to play with players across the ecosystems of those platforms, no matter the console. It will also mean eventually playing cross platforms as well.

The latest Season, Season of Arrivals, was also announced as a transition into the next yearly iteration of the franchise called Beyond Light which will be released on September 22, 2020. The new year will bring many new experiences but will also take some old ones as away as the game has become so large for the capacities of the applications. While it will new playable places in the Solar System, we will also lose a number of those currently in game. However, they will eventually rotate back into the game with a new approach called the Destiny Content Vault which will bring back old experiences from Destiny 1 like the Cosmodrome and the first Raid, The Vault of Glass. The new year will also bring all new abilities and elemental energy for the first time ever in the franchise.

Surprisingly, Bungie also presented the following two years of the game as well! The 2021 iteration will be called The Witch Queen while the 2022 installment will be called Lightfall. It will be amazing to see how they develop the story within the game as they not only bring back past characters like the Stranger from Destiny 1 but also new characters that we will be seeing as well. I have to admit that the announcement got me excited enough to go back and play the game once again. Amazing to see how much content is available in the game although most tough to complete alone. Maybe the friends will get back to play!
