Welp, Destiny 2 is gonna slowly become fortnite now.

[Goblin]

its gonna happen, sorry folks. pack ur bags, really weird how marathons direction went and now this.

[Kylito]

I meeeean they did a literal Fortnite crossover a few years back. I think Star Wars isn't too far from the Destiny universe, what is a lightsaber but an exotic sword?

[ShatteredPumpkin]

the problem is its now a expansion rather a destiny 2 skin itself, im not a fan of the skins either but if were getting collab DLC's now, well thats a pretty bad sign of destiny 2's future expansions being part of other universe collabs rather themed on destiny more.

a skin is a skin, a expansion is a entirely different matter.

Then leave, Bungie and Destiny have been in a rough spot for a while and if sponsorship keeps it going that's a trade I'm willing to make as long as its only "inspired by" and besides there are way worst things that it could've happened with, a Jabba the Hut like adventure with the Spider? Sign me up, we've basically already done that a few times such as Vesper's Host.

are you seriously suggesting that bungie/destiny was in a rough spot because it had no money??? What do you think caused that in the first place? Probably look more into upper management who only did lay offs and not really taking the feedback of its developers to heart. They'll get a lotta money alright from this, but it likely won't change development like you think.

No.... its like you said, poor management put them in their tight spot and now Sony is breathing down their neck expecting more. I never expected change in development, that was you projecting I guess, but its clear they've scaled back Destiny 2 development due to Marathon and overall resources so if something like this gets us that second expansion in a year then I'm okay with it as long as it still feels like Destiny.

[Mez Koo]

Either way Final Shape gave the happily ever after ending for people to jump off the train, literally nothing holding anyone with a sunk cost mindset around anymore.

I'll be honest I didn't even see the armor reveal. I wouldn't call myself a star wars fan but i am now hyped to be darth vader clearing the new dungeon with general grievous.

One of the preorder sets literally has a Darth Vader mask as part of it.

Oh don't use the SONY excuse... thats literally been heavily debunked on. just because Bungie isn't hitting SONY's revenue target thats not SONY's fault on everything lol, Bungie still holds control on its decisions and property as a Independent subsidiary + creative control. all those decisions are from Bungie and not SONY. and yes Marathon took a lot of resources away from Destiny 2, again, thats a Bungie decision.

Again YOU'RE PROJECTING just try to actually read for once, I didn't say its Sony's fault but since you went there Sony bought Bungie expecting a return on investment and Lightfall fell on its face with Final Shape still "under performed." We already know Sony was going to step in if Bungie didn't clean house with the layoffs. Anyone not tied to Destiny or Marathon were moved to SIE and with Marathon around the corner Sony will almost certainly take over if that flops too.

Ever heard of the notion "Never touch a running system"?

Bungie has proven over and over again that they fail to follow this simple rule. They had almost the perfect design state with Destiny 1 in Age of Triumph but failed to communicate the strengths of Destiny 1 to the Destiny 2 team. Then we got D2 Vanilla on launch, which required an entire DLC (Forsaken) to fix the game back to its original complexity only to make it less and less complex over the years in favor of casuals.

If we have to blame people specifically long-term, it's the casuals. They wanted a game that's easier and they got it. Because they are like toddlers that eat up every ♥♥♥♥ as long as it makes airplane noises as the spoon closes in.

And that includes taking ♥♥♥♥ and swallowing it like the Eververse as well.

[REDMVGE]

Fortnite works, and y'all didn't support Bungie enough via in-game purchases so they're gonna try and get a new fanbase. One that's paying. A lot.

On the stream they said it is “one of a kind” expansion. Who knows though, if people like this type of content maybe we will actually have more crossover expansions in the future. Imagine an expansion in the spirit of Warhammer or Doom.
