Summary
As the end of Episode Heresy inDestiny 2approaches, the decade-long Light and Darkness saga that started in the original Destiny is soon coming to an end. WhenThe Edge of Fate expansion forDestiny 2arrives on June 16, 2025, this will kick off the next epic chapter of the franchise’s ongoing story via the Fate saga, putting the spotlight on the mysterious Nine faction and taking players to the new planet Kepler.
With the Light and Darkness saga finally ending, this seems like the perfect time forDestiny 2to give players an in-game way to reflect on all of their accomplishments from the past ten years throughout the franchise. Especially after Episode Heresy introduced a new private social space for one of the game’s main characters, it’s arguably time thatDestiny 2sealed the deal and gave players their own space to decorate and gather at. Whether or not this meansDestiny 2should consider experimenting with base-building mechanics, having a personal space that players can customize could be a game-changer for player expression.
The End of Destiny 2’s Light and Darkness Saga Would be Incomplete Without One New Feature
Episode Heresy Makes the Case for Players’ Own Social Space
Considering that personalized social spaces are a common feature among MMOs, this could naturally be a welcome addition toDestiny 2. However, while there has seemingly always been a need for such a feature inDestiny 2, given the game’s DNA as a pseudo-MMO, the new Episode Heresy storyline has made an even stronger case for this kind of feature. More specifically, after Eris Morn’s flat was added as a new social space inDestiny 2’s Episode Heresy, marking yet another living quarters for one of the game’s main characters that players can visit, it’s arguably time that players got a social space of their own.
Fully Customizable Social Spaces Could be Huge for Player Expression in Destiny 2
For players who have been along for the ride since the originalDestiny’s release over 10 years ago, the Light and Darkness saga that started back in 2014 finally coming to an end will naturally be an emotional moment. While theDestinyfranchise’s ongoing story is still far from over, the transition tothe Fate saga in The Edge of Fate expansionshouldn’t pass without giving players a way to celebrate their greatest achievements so far and commemorate some of the beloved characters who have been lost throughout this long journey.
Taking things a step further from introducing a fully customizable, personal social space, this could be the perfect opportunity forthe new Kepler planet inDestiny 2, any of the existing social spaces, or even players’ ships, to introduce base-building mechanics to the franchise. If base-building mechanics aren’t in the cards for theDestinyfranchise, players having their own remote social space could still take players’ freedom for creative expression to the next level by potentially giving them opportunities to display their collection of god-roll weapons, armor ornaments, and endgame loadouts.
Ultimately, withDestiny 2’s decade-long Light and Darkness sagacoming to an end, a personalized social space could be a cozy way for players to commemorate their favorite memories from the franchise thus far. Especially after a new social space was introduced for another one of the game’s main characters in Episode Heresy, players arguably deserve a place to call their own inDestiny 2’s universe by now.
