Destiny’s big 2019 plans: Stadia, Steam, new expansion, and free-to-play version

Bungie has revealed a slew of big news for Destiny 2 today during a stream event. Notably, the multiplayer shooter is getting a new expansion, Shadowkeep, on September 17. Destiny 2 will also have a new free-to-play version, New Light, which includes the base experience and all of the content Bungie released during the game’s first year (the Curse of Osiris and Warmind expansions). Destiny 2 will also be coming to Stadia, Google’s upcoming streaming console.

Destiny 2 released on September 6, 2017, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a PC releases following on October 24. Destiny 2 has had three expansions so far. The last one, Forsaken, released in September 2018. Activision Blizzard originally published the game, as it had with the first Destiny, but Bungie took over sole ownership of the franchise after it split from former publishing partner Activision Blizzard in January.
