Destiny 2 players were shocked by the details that Bungie is bringing focus back to the game. The company has been having a bit of a struggle recently. And with Marathon also taking a hit, Bungie is shifting things around. Initially, Destiny 2 was losing its live-service support and having no more content. However, Bungie has gone back on this and that it’s unvaulting content for Destiny 2. If you’re a newer player to the game, you might not be sure what this means. Or if you have been playing for the last couple of years, you missed out on some of the original experiences. To clarify what is being unvaulted, we have the details for you below. Additionally, if you’re curious what this unvaulted content is going to cost, we’ll let you know that too.
What is Being Unvaulted in Destiny 2?
Major content expansions and the original Red War campaign are coming with the Destiny 2 unvaulting. However, it’s unknown if all strikes and raids from these earlier experiences are coming. The content packs themselves include Red War, Curse of Osiris, Warmind, and Forsaken. Along with these, the locations that they take part in are also going to be making a comeback. For example, in the original game, Titan was a planet players could go to. Whether to do a strike or even some patrols. The unvaulting lets players return to these sunsetted locations.
While there are still more details to come, getting back to these locations means the missions too. More specifically, it comes down to the game’s story. The Red War tells an important part of the Destiny lore and how Ghaul came to Earth. Or the revenge story of Forsaken shaping our Guardians. Although these may seem basic, they are big parts of the onboarding experience. Something that is distinctly different in a good way, compared to the current way new players enjoy the game.
What Will The Unvaulted Content in Destiny 2 Cost?
All of the unvaulted content coming back to Destiny 2 will be free for all players. None of the content needs to be purchased, whether you own all of the expansions or just downloaded Destiny 2. This is being done as an act of goodwill by Bungie. Not only to show that they care about players, but also they want to right the wrongs of before. Therefore, the only content you will need to purchase is the expansions that are currently not vaulted. Which, in this case, is anything from Shadowkeep to the present day.
Unfortunately, when it comes to the unvaulting of the legacy content, there is no expected date. Due to the downsizing of Bungie, there are fewer hands on deck to work on Destiny currently. Because of that, it’s likely going to take a while before we start to see the additional content coming back. Moreover, it’s unknown whether or not it’s all coming to the game at once. Or if each piece of content will come back one at a time. However, the unvaulting of this content is a big step in the right direction. And could hopefully mean big things for Destiny as a franchise in the future.
