Bungie revealed the name and release date forDestiny 2‘s second paid expansion. DubbedWarmind, the expansion arrives May 8, coinciding with the start ofDestiny 2‘s third season.
The expansion was announced inBungie’s latest developer roadmap update. While concrete details aboutWarmindwill be saved for an official reveal stream on April 24, Bungie did remark that the expansion “will send you to new places to meet new heroes and battle new enemies. You’ll earn new loot and master new activities.”
Warmindrounds outDestiny 2‘s season pass ($35), which promised users two post-launch expansions.Curse of Osiris, the game’s first expansion, launched in December for $20, so look forWarmindcost the same as a stand-alone purchase. Hopefully, there is a little more meat onWarmind, asCurse of Osiriswas light on content and largely seen as a step in the wrong direction after a promising start forDestiny 2.
The roadmap provided an outline forDestiny 2content until the end of summer. Besides the upcoming expansion,Destiny 2players can look forward to big changes to the Crucible. When season 3 kicks off, all of theCurse of Osirismultiplayer maps and newWarmindmaps will be available to all players in matchmaking. This move should increase player pools, especially for the expansion-related maps. Season 3 will also bring seasonal leaderboards to the Crucible.
The exception to the Crucible changes is in private matchmaking, a new feature arriving in season 3. To playCurse of OsirisandWarmindmaps in private matches, all players must purchase the expansions.
Season 3 will also bring updates to Exotic Weapon Masterworks, Heroic Strike Modifiers, and new Nightfall Challenge Cards, among others.
Looking ahead, a new seasonal event and fresh bounties come later this summer. And most intriguingly, “weapon randomization” and “weapon slot changes” are on the slate for season 4 in September. Additionally, it looks like you will be able to show off your finds to fellow Guardians with “gear collections” and “records,” which we are certainly excited to learn more about.
If you are eager for newDestiny 2content, ensure to check back April 24 for moreWarminddetails.
