With the launch date for Shadowkeep and New Light closing in, Bungie?s been releasing a ton of new information about not only the expansion and free-to-play base game, but the changes that will shape the next year of content and activities coming to Destiny 2. Here at Daily Reaction, we?ve always been Destiny fans, going all the way back to the good old days of Dan and I covering the original Destiny alpha more than five years ago. As we reach Destiny?s fifth anniversary and start into its sixth year, there?s one element that?s got me more excited than in all the time I?ve been playing: an evolving world.
Destiny is a living game, but it?s always felt limited by the monetization model of DLC content packs. New optional expansions can?t make drastic fundamental changes to the base experiences without impacting players who don?t want to pay the premiums to move forward. Content drops have always felt like self-contained side stories with only hints at a larger changing world. Bungie did manage to make some changes with each of the yearly releases (The Taken King, Rise of Iron, Forsaken) and the launch of Destiny 2 provided the studio with a huge reset point in which they could make those kinds of big narrative movements, but the game has never quite felt as ?alive? as its potential suggests.
