I preserve saying I’ll return to Destiny 2 in posts like this one, then reneging on that. For realsies although, this time I’ll: Bungie have let free the title and date for the second enlargement. It’s referred to as Warmind, and you can begin capturing at it on May eighth. Those are the one particulars we’re getting for now, although in non-expansion associated information Bungie have another development roadmap on your eyeballs. Season three kicks off with the enlargement and provides non-public matches to the Crucible. Season Four begins in September, when Bungie say they’ll begin toying round with randomised weapons.
For the handful of people who have clicked via and don’t already know, Warminds have been the AI supercomputers that humanity created in the course of the Golden Age to fend off alien nasties. Rasputin is the one one we’ve met up to now, I imagine, however that teaser picture above suggests we’re about to come across one other.
Given how little we’ve received to go on for enlargement hypothesis, I’ll transfer swiftly on to the opposite updates Bungie have within the Destiny pipes. On the Crucible entrance, I’m happy to see that this time spherical Bungie are maintaining expansion-buyers and everybody else (largely) in the identical multiplayer boat:
“For every player of Destiny 2, we’ll be releasing all of the new Crucible Maps being developed for Warmind into matchmaking. The same goes for the maps we released with Curse of Osiris. To keep the community in the Crucible unified, everyone will see new arenas in matchmade playlists like Quickplay, Competitive, Trials of the Nine, Iron Banner, as well as the new weekly rotators that include Rumble and Mayhem. That means more opponents for everyone.”
The one catch is that you could solely play the brand new Warmind Crucible maps in non-public video games when you personal the enlargement, and the identical goes for the Curse of Osiris maps. The update post has a useful information to what’s going to and gained’t be accessible for everybody, when you’re fearful.
Jumping forward to Season 4, Bungie point out that they wish to “bring back those exciting moments when you acquire the perfect weapon”. I’d say extra intensive weapon randomisation has a very good shot at doing that, although the opposite updates Bungie are eager to push as addressing that drawback depart me nonplussed – “Weapon Slot Changes, Gear Collections, and Records”. Capitalise all you need, mate, I’ll nonetheless solely actually care in regards to the modifications that Make Shooting More Fun.
There’s some smaller stuff I haven’t talked about right here, which you’ll take a look at for your self on the update page. Bungie say they’ll inform us extra in regards to the enlargement in a reveal stream on April 24th, the large teases.
