Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate kicks off the Year of Prophecy; 2025 Roadmap revealed

BBG News

The Fate Saga begins with Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate.

The Edge of Fate is the initial expansion in Destiny 2’s prolonged storyline known as The Fate Saga, set to release in the future. It brings new characters, narratives, locations, items, and all the typical Destiny fun, along with an overhaul of Armor 3.0, different world tiers, innovative abilities, and numerous improvements aimed at making Destiny more welcoming for new players and refreshing for long-time fans.

On July 15, 2025, The Edge of Fate will make its appearance. This is the initial expansion among the two planned for release in this year for Destiny 2. The second one, titled Renegades, carries a Star Wars-inspired theme.

For the remainder of this year, aside from these changes, we can anticipate more significant updates as Bungie has unveiled the full Destiny 2 roadmap that extends into 2025 and beyond. Among other exciting developments, it includes two massive free updates similar to Into the Light. So, there’s a lot to be excited about!

The Edge of Fate takes the fight to Kepler; introduces shape-shifting Dark Matter abilities

Without a doubt, a fresh chapter in the Destiny universe wouldn’t feel complete without introducing a novel subclass or skills, and The Edge of Fate is shaping up to deliver on that promise. During its unveiling, Bungie offered glimpses of the breathtaking, pale blue and brown locale Kepler, a new destination where players may encounter Dark Matter abilities.

From a follower’s perspective, Dark Matter stands worlds apart from the common conception of Darkness Powers. It’s crafted from the cryptic celestial beings known as The Nine, who weave their magic throughout the narrative of Edge of Fate. This mysterious substance grants Guardians the ability to metamorphose and deploy powerful elemental assaults or surmount environmental challenges with ease.

To date, Bungie has unveiled three Dark Matter skills: Matterspark, Relocator Cannon, and Mattermorph. Among these, Matterspark is the most intriguing as it enables Guardians to transform into a destructive “death roll ball” and discharge electricity on all targets. Conversely, the Relocator Cannon and Mattermorph are movement skills that empower players to teleport and alter their surroundings to create passageways.

Kepler draws inspiration from the enigmatic Dreaming City. Bursting with intricate puzzles to decipher and ancient secrets to unearth, it’s Destiny’s initial location designed in a Metroidvania style that promotes thorough exploration and multiple playthroughs. Just like other destinations, Kepler hosts new adversaries, armaments, and equipment for players to discover.

Armor 3.0 rework brings MMO-like features to Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate

Beyond introducing fresh campaign missions, intriguing side quests, and Dark Matter abilities, The Edge of Fate introduces significant alterations to Destiny 2’s character customization system, commonly known as build-crafting. With the Armor 3.0 update, players can now acquire bonus stats by wearing a full set of armor.

As a devoted gamer, I can’t help but notice the new tier system implemented in our game. Items like armor and weapons now span from tiers one to five, with tier five equipment boasting the most impressive stats and bonuses. This top-tier gear is perfect for taking on the toughest activities and challenges that lie ahead.

Each level of treasure appears to come with distinct visual and sound signals, allowing players to easily tell them apart. Bungie mentions this as one method they’re using to enhance Destiny’s accessibility.

Refreshed Portal screen replaces Destinations; easier access to activities

At the heart of Fate’s Frontier, there are significant adjustments to fundamental gaming mechanics. Take, for example, the Portal – an innovative interface for selecting activities. This portal gives players access to embark on the newest campaign mission, explore the Tower, or test out one of the freshly introduced features.

Regarding that topic: Solo Operations, which last approximately 10 minutes, appear to be custom-designed for single players. Bungie hasn’t shared many details about these adventures, but it appears that the Portal will provide seamless access to a broad variety of newly introduced and well-liked activities.

Tiered system introduced to weapons; New Land Beyond available as first The Edge of Fate Exotic

The part that really gets people talking when a new expansion is unveiled is getting a peek at all the distinctive weapons on display. However, during this presentation, weapons weren’t the main focus. Still, Bungie offered sneak peeks of two guns themed around the Nine, which are expected in the Edge of Fate.

1. The first item is the recently introduced, exotic sniper rifle, New Land Beyond. This can be immediately obtained by players who purchase the Destiny 2 Year of Prophecy Ultimate Bundle.

2. The second item is a stylish, rapid-fire Auto Rifle known as the Giver’s Blessing, adorned with intricate engravings from the Nine.

Three weeks post the Edge of Fate update, I’m thrilled that Bungie will unveil a brand-new Shooting Range! Here, as a Guardian, I’ll have the freedom to extensively try out my weapons and abilities. It’s an exciting space where I can summon my entire raid team for a test run against tough red-bar adversaries and bosses, honing our skills before taking on the real challenge.
