Overview

  • Bungie confirmed that Edge of Fate will launch on July 15 as the first expansion in Destiny 2’s new Fate Saga.
  • World Tiers overhauls progression by letting players select difficulty levels that scale enemy strength and loot rewards.
  • The Portal interface compiles strikes, seasonal events and Lost Sectors into a single menu with customizable modifiers but lacks entirely new activities.
  • A time-travel trailer teases a surreal campaign on Kepler featuring retro imagery and the enigmatic NPC Lodi, and Bungie hinted at a horde-mode-inspired activity without revealing gameplay.
  • Early previews praise the systems overhaul yet criticize Kepler’s muted art direction and express concern over the Portal’s reliance on repurposed content.
