Summary
Destiny 2has recently announced the continuation of content for the long-standing game from the developers at Bungie. Having concluded their Light and Darkness saga, it’s finally time for the Guardians to move on to new pastures and travel light years to new and far, far-away galaxies.Destiny 2’s latest trailer teases a smorgasbord of new content, withRenegadescatching the eyes of most gamers and sci-fi fans alike.
Seemingly inspired by theStar Warsuniverse,Destiny 2seems to be releasing an entire expansion dedicated to and related to the franchise. FromLightsabers, Blasters, and even Tatooine, Guardians are in for a treat with theDestiny 2: Renegadesexpansionthat launches later in 2025. Here are somethings we hope to see in theRenegadesexpansion.
8Space Battles
Take On Fleets Of Dredgen In A Custom Ship Made For Combat
A long-desired aspect ofDestiny 2is to actually explore the magical star system that appears during cut scenes and loading segments. Guardians long to hop into their ships and traverse the endless reaches of space, with epic PvP combat popping up during those journeys.
Ship vs. ship combat would be the perfect cherry on top of theRenegades update and would more than revitalize theDestiny 2community with its innovative approach. Being able to board a ship, take on enemy cruisers, or engage other Guardians who choose to side with the Dredgen, similar to the Railjackcontent inWarframe, would be an excellent way to expand upon the gameplay ofDestiny 2.
7Sparrow Racing
Bring Back A Classic Game Mode
Sparrow Racing had a brief lifespan inDestiny, but did not return inDestiny 2. Many Guardians have long awaited the return of theSparrow Racing League, especially with the vast collection of Sparrows that are currently available inDestiny 2.
Renegadeswould be the perfect expansion to reintroduce this game mode and take inspiration from Pod Racing inStar Wars. A Track with more lethal obstacles and a faster pace would make a big splash inDestiny 2and show how much more there is to look forward to as the game continues past the Light and Dark saga.
6Forest Sparrow Mission
Pursue Or Evade Enemies In An Epic Chase
Sparrows have not had a big role inDestiny 2for some time. However, with the release of the new Weaponized Sparrow, they may be playing a larger role in PvE content. A mission similar to the chase scenes found in multipleStar Warsmovies would be fantastic.
Guardians slicing through dense trees and startled fauna, trying to catch or get away from a target, would be an adrenaline thrill ride that every Guardian would love. With so much potential in aStar Wars-inspired expansion, missing out on this classic and fan-favorite aspect would be dropping the ball.
5Dregen Bounty Hunter Enemies
A Mandalorian-Inspired Enemy Type
TheRenegadesexpansion must have some originality when it comes to the base content ofDestiny 2. With Guardians heading toward unknown frontiers, new and more dangerous enemies are a must. Dredgen are making their presence known, and fleets of Guardian-like enemies would be perfect to completely change the experience of combat inDestiny 2.
Light Bearers charged with killing the Guardian using Light subclasses and exotic weapons would be a perfect challenge for new and returning Guardians to face inDestiny 2: Renegades.
4Smuggling Missions
Interplanetary Patrol Missions
A great addition toDestiny 2: Renegadeswould be expanding the patrol missions available in whatever new environment Guardians will have to traverse. Branching the Patrol missions into more immersive content would breathe new life into an otherwise overlooked aspect of the game.
Taking on a patrol mission from an NPC in the newRenegadesexpansion, collecting materials, then delivering them to another location or bringing them back to the Tower for a reward would be an entertaining change to the base game systems.
3Lightsaber Exotics
New Exotic Sword Weapons
Few things were teased in theDestiny 2: Renegadestrailer. However, there was a glimpse of a new melee weapon that looks likeStar Wars-inspiredLightsabers. WithDestiny 2’s melee weapon arsenal constantly growing from swords and glaives, laser swords would be an interesting addition to the collection.
These laser swords could have unique traits and abilities to make them stand out from common swords, like the ability to Empower Subclasses or reflect projectiles. Most exotic melee weapons inDestiny 2come in threes, so there should be three new laser sword models for Titan, Warlock, and Hunter.
2A Desert Biome
A Desolate World Void Of Non-Aggressive Life
The worlds contained inDestiny 2are vast environments that encapsulate the planet they reside on perfectly. From the lush and colorful fauna of Earth to the cold, lifeless halls of the moon. In thetrailer forDestiny 2: Renegades, a desert biome is teased, similar to Tatooine, which first appeared in the firstStar Warsfilm.
This area may also be very similar to Mars, but hopefully much harsher. With new mountain formations, Guardians would be in wide open areas with potentially roaming ambushes of bandit alliances, or they might discover small village-like societies.
1A Deathstar Mission
Storm And Destroy An Enemy Base
Last but not least, aStar Wars-inspired expansion must come complete with a “destroy the enemy base” dungeon. Similar to when the Prison of Elders fell in theForsakenexpansion, Guardians should have the opportunity to take on a large enemy base of operations like Starkiller base or the original Death Star, and swap between space combat, infiltration, and finally all-out war against the enemy faction.
Warframe: The New War’sstory executed this perfectly and told its narrative from multiple points of view, completely immersing players in the experience.
