Destiny 2 to get two “medium-sized” expansions from next year

Destiny 2 to get two expansions from 2025

Bungie’s sci-fi action MMO Destiny 2 is slated to get two “medium-sized” expansion packs from 2025 as part of the game’s Codename: Frontiers plan for the next few years. The two Destiny 2 expansions confirmed for 2025 are Codename: Apollo and Codename: Behemoth. The Codename: Apollo expansion pack will be the first to launch and will arrive in Summer 2025 while Behemoth will arrive in Winter 2025.

Releasing two Destiny 2 expansions per year is a part of Bungie’s new model for the game which also includes launching “four major free content updates” per year.

“This evolution aims to enhance the player experience through a new multi-year saga, introducing a non-linear story, more systemic innovation, and significant improvements to core game activities and rewards,”, the Washington-based game developer noted in the press statement.

Bungie has decided to go with the non-linear way with Destiny 2 expansions so that they feel less formulaic and add more replay value.

Starting with Destiny 2’s Codename: Apollo–its first expansion pack for 2025– each new Destiny 2 expansion will announce the start of a new season. It will arrive with a "major" free seasonal update (Major Update) for all players. A second seasonal update will launch three months later which will add “new and reprised’ content to the core game.

The new Destiny 2 content includes activities like “Strikes, Exotic missions, or entirely new modes like Onslaught” and rewards like “weapons, armor, Artifact Mods, Exotics, and more”. Plus, there will be “new weekly events, new features, combat meta and balance updates”, Destiny 2 director Tyson Green said in a blog post.

In short, there will be “four Major Updates per year, one every three months”.

Destiny 2: Codename Apollo expansion pack

Destiny 2's Codename: Apollo expansion pack will be a "non-linear character-driven adventure", Bungie said in a press statement. It will get the first major update in Summer 2025 with Codename Arsenal. The second seasonal major update will arrive in the form of Codename: Surge in Fall 2025.

Destiny 2: Codename Behemoth expansion pack

Destiny 2’s Codename Behemoth expansion pack will arrive in Winter 2025. It will get the first seasonal major update in Winter 2025 and the second seasonal major update in Spring 2026.
