The Darkness could be an intimidating mass of lethal triangles, however Destiny 2 has extra grounded considerations to fret about proper now. As Bungie proceed to wrestle with life beneath the Covid-19 pandemic, they’ve postponed the discharge of the game’s subsequent huge growth to provide themselves extra respiration room. Destiny 2: Beyond Light will now launch just below two months after its deliberate September launch, launching as a substitute on November 10th.
Bungie broke the information in an announcement posted earlier in the present day, explaining that “doing what’s best for the game” means suspending the growth by a few months.
“As all the time, our purpose is to make the best, most entertaining growth we will presumably make for our followers. To that finish, we’re doing what’s finest for the game and transferring the launch date.
“The past few months have been a challenge and will continue to be during this pandemic. We’ve learned to create together in a new way, by having to work apart from one another. Despite these hurdles, we’re still committed to the same level of quality that our fans expect.”
To their credit score, Bungie have been among the many extra vigilant studios on the subject of Covid preparedness. They have been among the many earliest to pivot to distant work – and whereas Google’s streaming service appears to have vanished so far as client use goes, Bungie vouched for Stadia’s ability to keep their dev teams running. The devs even put collectively a handy primer for different studios early within the pandemic. Nice, that.
That does imply, nonetheless, we’ve received just a little longer to spend with Destiny’s doomed planets. Beyond Light can be snuffing out 4 planets and moon, sending them off to the vault to make room for brand new worlds – and as our resident Guardian Alice O studies, these worlds are looking proper apocalyptic with their huge floating homicide Toblerones. The delay can even prolong the present Season Of Arrivals – count on extra deets on what this implies for the season over the approaching weeks.
Besides knocking off a handful of planets, Beyond Light is heading to the icy Jovian moon of Europa. The Stranger, she of “I don’t have time to explain why I don’t have time to explain” fame is again for some adventures with Eris Morn and the Drifter, whereas us Guardians will get to play with new Darkness-dabbling subclasses.
I’m positive nothing can go mistaken with that, proper?
