Destiny 2: Beyond Light just released last week, and while I?ll have more thoughts on the Beyond Light campaign and renewed hobby later, I did want to talk about one major element Beyond Light improves in Destiny 2: the new player experience.
Back in 2019 when Shadowkeep launched and Destiny 2 went free-to-play with Destiny 2: New Light, the new player experience was somewhat at odds with the rest of the game. As a living game, in Destiny 2, the state of the in-game world stands at the current narrative arc, so the difficulty then becomes how to best bring new players onboard. At launch in 2017, the Red War campaign provided a sufficient onboarding ramp that introduced players to characters, mechanics, and all of the basics you needed to know to enjoy Destiny 2.
