Bungie has teased Destiny 2 Codename Frontiers, coming at some point in 2025 during what will be the series’ 11th year.
Teased at the end of a new video detailing what to expect from The Final Shape expansion’s upcoming three episodes was a solitary image, below. It reveals Codename Frontiers, which we know is due out in 2025. Bungie did not say anything else about this mysterious update, but with the codename Frontiers, some fans are already speculating that it may involve taking players to planets beyond the Sol System.
Some had thought Bungie might have teased Destiny 3 based on tweets from one of its developers, but it looks like the wait for that game, should it exist, goes on.
The Final Shape brings to an end the overarching Destiny that began with the first game in 2014, but it is not the end for the series. In Year 10, as Bungie calls it, three episodes will be released, each revolving around ‘echoes’ that spark significant change across the galaxy.
The first episode is called Echoes and is set on Nessus, with a focus on the Vex acting up. Players end up unearthing the secrets of a lost civilization and face a new enemy, although Bungie kept its cards close to its chest on this.
The second episode is called Revenant and revolves around the Fallen. This episode has more dark fantasy themes, and lets the player become a Slayer Baron, aka a vampire hunter. This episode introduces a new system called Potion Crafting. This includes combat potions and loot potions.
The third and final episode is called Heresy and revolves around the Hive pantheon. Heresy brings players back to the Dreadnought, the massive Hive spaceship introduced with 2015 expansion The Taken King.
After a Destiny 2 clan completed The Final Shape raid last week, Bungie unlocked a final mission for all players that concludes the main Destiny story. In previous videos, Bungie developers have teased that The Final Shape is not the end of Destiny 2 or even the series, with the developer — now owned by Sony — also working on multiplayer game Marathon.
For now, The Final Shape is going down well with fans, despite initial server problems Bungie ended up apologizing for. Check out IGN’s The FInal Shape review in progress to find out what we think.
