No, this Destiny 2 expansion won’t be canon in Star Wars.
Bungie has begun planning for Destiny 2’s upcoming year, which they’ve named “Year of Prophecy.” Today, they shared more information about The Edge of Fate, the first significant expansion coming after The Final Shape. Additionally, developers hinted at Renegades – an expansion that seems to draw heavily from the happenings in Star Wars.
The “Renegades” expansion, marked with the Lucasfilm logo and tentatively set for a December 6 release, offers further integration of Star Wars and Destiny 2 worlds. However, it’s important to note that Bungie has emphasized that while there will be significant story elements, the game’s narrative and campaign will remain firmly within the realm of Destiny’s universe.
During the heightened excitement of The Edge of Fate unveiling yesterday, Bungie shared a brief sneak peek at Renegades, the second expansion coming in the Year of Prophecy. This 37-second video showcased guardians brandishing lightsabers and DL-44 blasters, soaring over deserts on speeders, and a distinct Star Wars empire alarm sound.
Previously, we’ve witnessed a blend of Star Wars and Destiny elements through cosmetic items (with even more coming with today’s Rite of the Nine launch), yet a comprehensive Star Wars expansion within the Destiny universe? The excitement soared to its peak — however, the Destiny team has promptly cautioned about managing expectations.
In a similar vein, Robbie Stevens, the assistant game director, mentioned during the unveiling that “Renegades” draws from various genres, but it also infuses the space-themed atmosphere and visuals reminiscent of Star Wars, filtered through the lens of Destiny.
The game ‘Destiny’ offers an exclusive experience unlike any other – it’s shaping a wild, ruleless land within Sol, a new territory that is becoming prominent.” He went on to say that more details about this expansion will be unveiled in September, during the mid-expansion release of Ash & Iron.
Alison Lührs, the narrative director for Destiny, elaborated on the design approach for Renegades, stating, “Renegades will set itself apart from The Edge of Fate. It’s not just another chapter; it’s a significant expansion within the Destiny universe. This is part of the Fates saga and it will propel the story forward in meaningful ways.
As a devoted fan, I must share that she mentioned it’s an “homage to a universe that has fueled Bungie’s inspiration from day one.” However, let me clarify that our guardian won’t be unearthing Sith mysteries or jetting off to Coruscant in this expansion. Renegades will unfold within the Destiny timeline as an extension of The Edge of Fate.
Simultaneously, as the latest Star Wars armor decorations and cosmetics hit the market, enthusiasts who are eager to fully embrace the franchise’s blend with other properties now have that opportunity!
