After 10 years, Destiny 2 will no longer see one big expansion per year, nor the seasonal or episodic content drops in between–in 2025, it’ll get two expansions, with four “major updates” per year.
Alongside some of its plays to celebrate Destiny’s 10-year annivesary, Bungie laid out some of the details for Destiny 2’s future in a series of new blog posts outlining plans for Destiny 2: Frontiers, the next phase of the game now that its current story is being wrapped up in The Final Shape expansion and the three Episodes that follow. As game director Tyson Green wrote, in 2025, Destiny 2 will see two “medium” expansions instead of one big one, which was the approach Bungie has stuck with ever since the release of the Forsaken expansion in 2018.
“We’ve loved creating annual Expansions and are especially proud of The Final Shape. But the truth is that they dominate almost all our development effort,” Green wrote. “We need to free ourselves up to explore and innovate with how we deliver Destiny 2 content so we can invest in areas of the game that will feel more impactful to players.”
