The Destiny franchise is entering its sixth year, and the first full year of content while not under the Activision umbrella. After going independent and riding out what remained of this past year?s Annual Pass releases, October 1 will mark the beginning of Bungie?s renewed vision for Destiny. More than just a fresh yearly expansion, Shadowkeep and the free-to-play New Light will fundamentally change how players engage with the game. It?s designed to have less roadblocks and allow more people to play more content, but it?s come with its fair share of confusion as people try to figure out how to tell new, returning, and even existing players what they?ll need to purchase to get different content.
I think most of the confusion comes from trying to relate the new Destiny 2 DLC structure and monetization plan with the way that Destiny?s been doing things for the last five years. From the expansion passes for smaller expansions, bigger yearly expansions, annual pass, seasonal content, and Eververse cosmetics, there was a lot to take in. The best way to begin understanding everything is to completely forget how things have been done before. Starting October 1, here?s how everything will work:
PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};
