When Beyond Light launches next month, kicking off a new trilogy of expansions over the next three years, the Destiny 2 new player experience is getting an overhaul that should help onboard new players better. Destiny 1?s original full Cosmodrome patrol location is returning?minus the Plaguelands addition from Rise of Iron?and will serve as a place for new Guardians to grasp the fundamentals of the game before ever stepping foot in the Tower.
Joining a living game years into its life is tough. There are systems in place that have evolved and been built on years of updates and additions. When Destiny 2 went free-to-play alongside the launch of the Shadowkeep expansion last year, its new player experience was criticized as dumping players a bit too unceremoniously into the Tower with no real sense of direction or tutelage on where to go or what to do. Destiny 2 felt like a game for the ?in crowd;? you either had been playing the game for a while, or knew people who could help out. But without that guidance, being a new player in Destiny?s world is currently confusing.
