Bungie talks about needing to add an additional unannounced chapter afterLightfallin order to complete the firstDestinysaga. The “Light and Darkness Saga” ofDestinystarted with the vanilla release ofDestinyback in 2014. Bungie calling the Light and Darkness Saga, the first saga inDestiny, leads to speculation about what comes after. The Light and Darkness Saga has lasted for almost seven years and still has two more major expansions that should also last about a year each.
Bungie’s plans after this unannounced expansion to conclude the Light and Darkness Saga are mostly a mystery. For now, Bungie is focusing on 2021 and mentioned plans to keep weapons and armor fresh for players as well as refining its vision for PVP. Bungie also mentions implementing transmog and adding crossplay.
Bungie stands committed to makingDestinyan everlasting evolving world, and a definitive action-MMO with a unified global community where Guardians can playDestinyanywhere with their friends. Focusing on upgrading the systematic foundation ofDestiny 2now, will allow the game to support what Bungie does in the future.
Guardians should learn plans forThe Witch Queen, and following content, later this summer. For now, Guardians can only speculate as to what plans Bungie has for a newDestinySaga once the Light and Darkness Saga concludes. If a newDestinysaga is planned to be comparable in length to the Light and Darkness Saga, Guardians could be looking at another 10 plus years ofDestinycontent.
With recent news of Bungie increasing the size of its studio, paired with this news of unannounced content afterLightfall, Guardians have a lot to look forward to when it comes tonewDestinycontent. The future ofDestiny’s Guardians may live longer than Bungie originally planned when outlining their ten-year plan forDestiny, good news for Guardians wanting to continue their space magic adventures.
