Destiny 2's 'The Edge of Fate' Expansion Revealed: New Saga Begins with Metroidvania Elements
April 15, 2025
Bungie is experimenting with campaign structures, incorporating elements from genres like Metroidvanias and roguelikes into the gameplay.
Bungie has officially announced the upcoming Destiny 2 expansion titled 'The Edge of Fate', with a livestream reveal scheduled for May 6, 2025, at 9 AM PT.
This expansion marks the beginning of a new narrative saga, following the conclusion of the Light and Dark storyline.
The Edge of Fate is expected to be the first of these two expansions, with four major updates planned annually.
Players can look forward to a non-linear progression system in The Edge of Fate, allowing them to explore and experience the narrative at their own pace.
Key elements associated with The Nine, including characters like Xur and events such as Trials of the Nine, will be central to the storyline.
The upcoming 'Rite of the Nine' event is speculated to connect with the expansion's themes, potentially deepening the lore surrounding The Nine.
Currently, The Edge of Fate is projected to launch in July 2025, with no delays anticipated.
This announcement comes shortly after Bungie's reveal event for another title, Marathon, which took place on April 12, 2025.
Details on how to watch the May 6 livestream reveal will be announced soon, promising exciting insights into The Edge of Fate.
In a shift from their previous model, Bungie will transition from annual expansions to two medium-sized expansions each year, similar in scope to the Rise of Iron.
The expansion will feature a Metroidvania-inspired destination, enhancing exploration and engagement.
