Building a Viable Future in Destiny 2

</ul>
<p>Earlier<br />
today, we laid out a vision for Destiny’s future, built right inside of Destiny 2. A future where we maintain your<br />
characters, accounts, and continuity with our game systems and build on each of<br />
them for years. This fall ushers in a new era in Destiny’s journey, launching<br />
off a trilogy of expansions where your Guardians will explore the true nature<br />
of Light and Dark:</p>
<div>

<p>Put plainly, we are investing in Destiny 2 for years to come. But to<br />
continue your Guardian’s journey and deliver on this roadmap, we need to make<br />
some changes to our ever-growing world so it can flourish. </p>
<p><h2>The Limits of Growth</h2>
</p>
<p>Over the<br />
past couple months, we’ve mentioned the problems that come with maintaining a<br />
game the size of Destiny 2; and we’ve said that it cannot grow infinitely.<br />
After three years of non-stop growth, the scope and complexity of Destiny 2 has<br />
ballooned to unprecedented scale.</p>
<p>As of this<br />
writing, Destiny 2 features nine destinations, 40 story missions, 54<br />
adventures, 42 Lost Sectors, 17 strikes, 31 PvP maps, 12 one-off special<br />
activities (like Menagerie or Zero Hour), seven raids, six Gambit arenas, three<br />
dungeons, many, many<br />
quests, patrols, public events, and of course, thousands of associated rewards.<br />
All of that, plus hundreds of game systems which layer on top of that content.</p>
<p>This<br />
unrelenting growth has resulted in a game that requires players to download up<br />
to 115GB to play, as well as huge patches tied to frequent updates. And those numbers<br />
are rising rapidly, as we’ve been adding approximately 25GB of content each<br />
year to Destiny 2 since launch. Those sizes not only stress hard drive capacity<br />
but also push the limits of patching capability. It also makes the time to<br />
generate a stable update for the game after all content is finalized, tested, and ready to go balloon to literal <i>days</i> instead of hours.</p>
<p>Worse<br />
still, that 115GB includes a lot of content that isn’t relevant anymore – and<br />
can’t remain relevant – as we evolve the world and introduce new experiences<br />
that will take center stage instead. For example: Warmind’s campaign represents<br />
only <b>0.3%</b> of all time played in Season of the Worthy and yet the Warmind<br />
Expansion accounts for <b>5%</b> of our total install size. This dramatic<br />
imbalance between player engagement and overall cost to maintain is found in a lot<br />
of our legacy content.</p>
<p><h2>Impact on the Live Game</h2>
</p>
<div>Maintaining<br />
that much content in perpetuity slows down our ability to update the game with<br />
fresh experiences, reduces our ability to innovate, and delays our reaction to<br />
community feedback. The test surface alone is massive, to say nothing<br />
about how it impacts our designers, artists, and engineers trying to make cool<br />
new stuff every day under the weight of the crushing complexity of our scale.</div>
<div>Unfortunately<br />
it also means that we sometimes ship content that doesn’t meet the quality bar<br />
we’ve set for ourselves and that our players have come to expect. Recent<br />
examples are the issues with Felwinter’s Lie quest or when we had to perform<br />
our first-ever <a href="https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/48723" title target>rollback of player progress</a> due<br />
to a bug. </div>
<p>Our<br />
ambition is for Destiny 2 to be the best Action MMO in the world and that means<br />
being far more agile and nimble than we are today. But the simple fact is that our<br />
game’s size and complexity prevents us from improving Destiny as fast as we –<br />
and you – would like. </p>
<p><h2>The “Destiny Content Vault”</h2>
</p>
<div>With Destiny<br />
1, we solved the “ever expanding, exponential complexity” problem by making a<br />
sequel in Destiny 2. We left behind all of Destiny 1’s content and many of the<br />
features players grew to love. We believe now that it was a mistake to create a<br />
situation that fractured the community, reset player progress, and set the<br />
player experience back in ways that took us a full year to recover from and<br />
repair. It’s a mistake we don’t want to repeat by making a Destiny 3. We don’t<br />
believe a sequel is the right direction for the game and for the past two years<br />
we have been investing all of our development effort into new content, gameplay,<br />
and new engine features that directly support a single evolving world in Destiny<br />
2.</div>
<div>
To create a sustainable ecosystem where the world can<br />
continue to evolve in exciting ways, and where we can update the game more<br />
quickly, we’re going to adopt a new content model that we’re calling the <b>Destiny<br />
Content Vault (DCV)</b>. Each year, usually at the expansion boundaries, we<br />
will cycle some destination and activity content out of the game (and into the<br />
DCV) to make room for new experiences. </div>
<div>
The first cycle of Destiny 2 content going into the DCV<br />
begins this fall, with the appearance of the Pyramid ships in Season of<br />
Arrivals and the <i>Beyond Light</i> expansion, which we revealed today. Those<br />
events will usher in dramatic changes to the Destiny universe, affecting characters,<br />
destinations, and Guardians for years to come. </div>
<p>
To set a<br />
new maintainable foundation for the game this fall and to create room for <i>Beyond<br />
Light </i>and the future roadmap, the first Destiny 2 deposit into the DCV will<br />
be larger than those to come in the future.</p>
<h2>Curating the Vault</h2>
<div>Content<br />
that goes into the Destiny Content Vault may return in the future, altered (if<br />
necessary) to fit the new state of the universe. Furthermore, we consider all<br />
Destiny 1 and 2 destinations and activities part of the new DCV and we’re going<br />
to be pulling from that archive – revisiting some of the most interesting<br />
places in Destiny’s history – from now onwards. It’s why the original Destiny 1<br />
Raid – the Vault of Glass – will be returning to Destiny 2 in Year 4.</div>
<p>
Going<br />
forward, our explicit goal will be to try to keep the scope and scale of Destiny<br />
2 at a relatively consistent size in order to increase our agility and to be<br />
able to properly support and maintain the game. Over the course of each year,<br />
the game’s content scope will grow as we add new destinations and activities in<br />
our expansions and Seasons. As we approach the next expansion, another cycle of<br />
content will go into the DCV to make way for a new influx of destinations and<br />
activities. </p>
<p>We will<br />
always do our best to give early notice of what’s being cycled into the DCV, to<br />
help you and your friends plan around how you want to complete your collections<br />
and build up your account before the new Destiny year starts. The vast majority<br />
of content we choose to vault will also be from destinations and activities<br />
that have been free for all players for several months prior to their<br />
departure. For example: the Curse of Osiris campaign, which has been free since<br />
Shadowkeep launched in October 2019, and part of the Destiny 2 experience since<br />
December 2017, will go in the DCV later this year. </p>
<p><h2>Year 4 Destiny Content Vault<br />
Preview </h2>
</p>
<p>Here is an early<br />
preview of some of what’s going into the Destiny Content Vault (DCV) and what’s<br />
returning in Year 4.</p>
<h3>Returning from the DCV</h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>On September 22, 2020:</li>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Cosmodrome as a selectable, explorable destination (but not yet at<br />
full Destiny 1 parity on 9/22).</li>
<ul>
<li>Note: We’re looking to leverage Cosmodrome’s initial return to expand<br />
the new Guardian origin story to the world of Destiny. Veteran players will be<br />
able to experience that story as well.</li>
<li>Cosmodrome’s Will of Crota strike will also be added to the strikes<br />
playlist for all players.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<li>During Season 13:</li>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Cosmodrome will be<br />
fleshed out to roughly Destiny 1 Year 1 parity. </li>
<li>Cosmodrome’s The Devil’s Lair and Fallen S.A.B.E.R. strikes return.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<li>During Year 4:</li>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Destiny 1’s first raid, Vault of Glass, returns.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<h3>Heading to the DCV</h3>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>On September 22, 2020: </li>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Io, Titan, Mercury, Mars, and Leviathan will be cycled out and no<br />
longer be accessible. </li>
<ul>
<li>This includes all PvE activities (including campaigns) on those<br />
destinations.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><img src="https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/136/136269/EN_1.jpg?cv=3983621215&av=353636825"></p>
<h3>Other Key Year 4 Details: </h3>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>There will be three raids playable this fall, including a new one set<br />
in the Deep Stone Crypt on Europa as part of the <i>Beyond Light</i> expansion.</li>
<li>There will be new ways to earn Exotics originally tied to destinations<br />
and activity content that have entered the Destiny Content Vault. </li>
<li>Available strikes will be based on a pool of possible strikes from<br />
active destinations. When a destination goes into the DCV, so too will its strikes.</li>
<li>The PvP Map playlist will remain a curated ‘best of’ mixture of maps<br />
from Destiny 1 and 2.</li>
<li>Gambit and Gambit<br />
Prime are being merged into a single mode, with their original armor visuals<br />
available to earn from the Drifter.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>To be<br />
clear, the DCV does not apply to any weapons and armor in a player’s inventory<br />
or vault. The DCV is about activities and destinations. We know you will have a<br />
lot of questions about how this will work. We will share more updates about our<br />
content plans throughout the summer. This includes a detailed overview of<br />
everything changing via patch notes, extensive DPS articles that will help<br />
break down what’s changing and when, as well as lots of opportunities for you<br />
to ask us questions along the way. </p>
<h2>A New Beginning</h2>
<p>This fall,<br />
we will begin delivering on the future of Destiny by making way for new adventures,<br />
locales, and stories dreamed up by our creative team, and forging the<br />
truly evolving world that it was always meant to be. These changes allow us the<br />
freedom to finally weave an overall experience for the Destiny universe that<br />
can truly live, starting with <i>Beyond<br />
Light</i>. We can now fit puzzle pieces we haven’t been able to pick up since<br />
the beginning of the original Destiny – including the true nature of the Darkness and<br />
Light and how such power will change you as a Guardian. We can now bring some<br />
of the greatest experiences in Destiny to the forefront of the current game alongside<br />
new ones to come.</div>
<div>
The past<br />
six years, we’ve seen the Destiny universe grow and our community along with<br />
it. We want our quality of service to grow in kind, to be able to react to<br />
community feedback quicker, to innovate more often, and to continue to tell new<br />
stories with your characters. We’re excited to continue that journey with you.</div>

The past<br />
six years, we’ve seen the Destiny universe grow and our community along with<br />
it. We want our quality of service to grow in kind, to be able to react to<br />
community feedback quicker, to innovate more often, and to continue to tell new<br />
stories with your characters. We’re excited to continue that journey with you.</div>
