It has been ten years since Bungie released its saga Destiny, and to celebrate, there has been a monumental change in its annual release model: in 2025, Destiny 2 will have expansions every six months and free updates every three. The MMO has no choice but to diversify and make playing it easier. And for Bungie, that means two words: Metroidvania and roguelike.
How to play this?
Being honest, if you start playing Destiny right now, it’s most likely that you don’t even know how to start playing or what your objective is. And Bungie has realized this, as stated by its director, Tyson Green: “Destiny is too complex. With literally hundreds of activities, you practically need a PhD to decide what to play and how to get the rewards you’re looking for.”
And for that, Destiny 2 has become much simpler thanks to the user activity menu, which “will make it easier for everyone to find and start them.” In other words: after a long time listening to people saying that it’s a great game that no one knows how to start playing, Bungie has taken matters into their own hands and made it slightly easier, but just as deep.
“The goal is to reduce the ‘tasks’ you have to do before entering an activity,” says Green. Just listening to him, you realize that they have been working for years on how to improve the user experience through a menu that is now finally simple and intuitive to use, but still needs months of refinement. The important thing is not to be stubborn… even if it’s a decade late!
