Shadowkeep and future releases are considered standalone releases, not requiring players to own previous premium content. The release of the next expansion, Shadowkeep (October 2019) began Year Three. A third, large expansion, Forsaken, began Year Two with an overhaul on gameplay. Year One of Destiny 2 featured two small expansions, Curse of Osiris and Warmind. Like the original Destiny, the game features expansion packs which further the story and adds new content across the game. Players assume the role of a Guardian, protectors of Earth's last safe city as they wield a power called Light to protect humanity from different alien races and combat the looming threat of the Darkness. PvP features objective-based modes, as well as traditional deathmatch game modes. These activities have an emphasis on exploration of the destinations and interactions with non-player characters (NPCs) the original Destiny only featured NPCs in social spaces. A free roam patrol mode is also available for each destination which feature public events as well as activities not available in the original. In addition to normal story missions, PvE features three-player " strikes" and dungeons and six-player raids. Like the original, activities in Destiny 2 are divided among player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) game types. Set in a " mythic science fiction" world, the game features a multiplayer "shared-world" environment with elements of role-playing games. It is the sequel to 2014's Destiny and its subsequent expansions. The game was published by Activision until December 31, 2018, when Bungie acquired the publishing rights to the franchise. It became free-to-play, utilizing the games as a service model, under the New Light title on October 1, 2019, followed by the game's release on Stadia the following month, and then PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms in December 2020. It was originally released as a pay to play game in 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows. Stay tuned.Destiny 2 is a free-to-play online first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie. I know Bungie is meeting about this today, and hopefully that leads to some more answers soon. But that doesn’t mitigate the damage that has been and is still being caused. So everything points to a third party that has no right to do what they’re doing. It would make little sense if Sony was doing this. My bet is one some combination of a rogue third party actor and some sort of technical loophole that is letting them wield a bizarre amount of power to strip videos from creators and even Bungie itself. The burden becomes on the accused to prove they have the right to post whatever content is being taken down, but here we’re seeing really bizarre things happening with someone outright posing as Bungie, taking down Bungie videos and these videos being instantly deleted, not just asking people to strip music tracks, which is what usually happens. What seems more likely to me is that this is some sort of abuse of terrible DMCA laws and YouTube’s terrible copyright enforcement system which lets more or less anyone file a claim against a video and pose as anyone while doing so, apparently including Bungie itself. And this would badly damage Sony’s new relationship with Bungie if Sony was doing this on purpose, so it’s just hard to think this is what’s happening, especially since Bungie itself is being hit. And yet we simply don’t see this with other Sony games, so I’m not sure why Destiny’s community creations would be so different. Maybe Bungie is now under their “content protection” umbrella and CSC or whoever is overzealously going after creators and music and artists in a way Bungie never wanted. It is possible, though I would say not likely, that this could have something to do with Sony’s recent acquisition of Bungie. So what on earth is going on? The way I see it there are two main possibilities. claims are not actually Bungie themselves. That’s people’s entire livelihoods wiped out, and in the interim, Bungie is also suffering reputational damage, as not everyone has gotten the memo that these Bungie, Inc. A third strike on these channels could result in their elimination altogether with a convoluted process in place to attempt to get them restored later. Even if it’s not Bungie doing it, it’s causing very real harm.
