Destiny 2 is Now Free-to-Play

Coming soon on 17th September … 

With today’s announcement of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep, developer Bungie has a new way to deliver content to its players. When the major expansion lands on on September 17th, the core game will go free-to-play, shifting to “expansion-level, standalone content” for Destiny veterans.

Details of the plot are scarce, but thanks to early leaks we know that Shadowkeep will require Guardians to return to the moon to “journey deep into a mysterious enemy citadel” and “become a slayer of nightmares.” Bungie also says that it will feature the return of an old ally.

With the move to free-to-play, the core game will be called Destiny 2: New Light and will feature all year one content, including “foundational modes, activities and rewards.”

This represents a change for the Destiny franchise as it seeks to lure gamers away from popular free titles like Fortnite. Previously, players paid upfront for the game and bought big expansions to gain access to new raids, missions and in-game items, either separately or as an annual pass subscription. Now, the core game will stay free, while additional content will be made available in the form of paid “à la carte” offerings like Shadowkeep.
