Foul Play

Bungie on the company’s blog talked about what players should expect in the third year of support for the shooter: both for buyers of the Shadowkeep expansion and season tickets for the upcoming seasons, and for those who do not want to spend a single ruble on the game.

Firstly, the developers will try to balance the project in such a way that changes in the world affect everyone at all.

For example, at least some seasonal equipment can be obtained at first only for completing tasks from a paid season subscription, later it will be possible to get these items in another way.

Secondly, from October 1, a combat pass with two progress lines will appear in the shooter:

• Basic - free for all players
• Premium - for season ticket holders.

All buyers of the Shadowkeep expansion will receive a subscription for the first season of the third year (Immortality), while passes for the next three seasons of the third year will have to be purchased separately or as part of a seasonal pass for a year.

The first combat pass will have 100 stages, and you can open rewards simply by playing: killing opponents, completing missions, competing in multiplayer and closing raids. 

By the end of each season, the duration of which is approximately 10 weeks, Bungie will introduce the ability to buy stages for real money, but it promises to make the function balanced - which is why it will be added to the end of the event to track the activity of the audience.

Thirdly, the shooter team presented a list of content that all Destiny 2 players can try, including the shareware New Light:
all first year of content, including Warmind and Curse of Osiris add-ons

• Moon Patrol and Shadowkeep Prologue
• two new strikes
• competitive mode with all changes
• equipment system "Armor 2.0"
• finishing off
• access to the base combat pass.

Fourth, the developers said that they will get the holders of a subscription for the Immortality season, which will start with the release of Shadowkeep:

• access to the Vex Offensive event, in which you can get four legendary weapons, as well as additional weekly and daily tests;
• The Leviathan's Breath assignment on an exotic bow;
• early access to different equipment as part of a combat pass: for example, the exotic revolver “Oath of Erian” will be available at the first level of the premium stage and only at the 35th level of the base.

The release of the Shadowkeep extension and the shareware version of the New Light shooter will take place on October 1, at the same time as the Immortality season begins.

Recently, Bungie, by the way, began the migration of PC players from Battle.net to Steam, and also launched cross-platform save between PS4, Xbox One and PC.
