Renegades has as much content as some past seasons did.
So after playing through Renegades, I can’t shake the feeling that what we got here is basically the size of an old season, just with a different price tag.
Think about it, short campaign, one seasonal style activity, an exotic mission, new weapons, seasonal grind structure.
All of this is about what we used to get for $10 in a season, not $40 for a full expansion. In the past, this kind of content drop would’ve slotted right in with Season of the Wish, Heresy, etc. The only major difference now is the price and the label “expansion.”
I’m not saying it’s bad content, the campaign was fun, the exotic mission is solid, and the weapons are cool. But the amount just doesn’t feel like an expansion. It feels like we bought a large season and it’s being stretched to last a year.
I want to support Bungie, I want Destiny to thrive, but value matters. If this is the future model, then expansions need more meat, or the price needs to match the content.
Would love to hear how others feel… am I alone in this?

Correct, this should've been a season. The only thing above seasonal level is the trailers and cutscenes. Which are great, but make the disappointment even greater when you play it.

Edited by Nawtehh: 12/7/2025 9:48:45 PMTruth was in plain sight all along. Watch the podcasts after the 2nd layoffs last year, Jason schrierer one & Jeff grubb one & put together info they gave Entire expansion team laid off - everyone No more expansions going forward, just mini dlcs, much lighter in content. Destiny will become a game you play once a week, or even month, not daily. Episode team now lead D2 The giveaway was when one of the episode team were tweeting 6 months before edge of fate release saying how they'd already built & finished next year's content & were moving to marathon, team 2 were preparing to start renegades (episode 2) & leaving marathon (replaced by team 1). Expansions only start work 6 months from release, episodes are 2 teams & they rotate & build in advance. It was clear as day that edge & renegades were supposed to be this year's episodes alongside a dlc, they simply removed the expansion team & we got no expansion, they called the 2 episodes mini dlcs & somehow thought it was ok to still charge the same price as what we'd have gotten had they still made a big dlc. This is how bungie be, & there's currently internal squabling that there's not enough monetisation inside the game. I hate how this is the only game I enjoy, the company is rotten & deserve whatevers coming.

I'm not surprised. Bungie's division of Destiny 2 is understaffed and probably also partially reassigned to Marathon. I pre-ordered "Destiny 2: Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition" for 100 €. I always did that with Destiny 2. And I gladly pay for quality (fundamentally), but this DLC is steeply overpriced. There's too much recycled content, like armor, environments, and weapons, just with adaptations, different colors, and variations. Bungie operates out of a content pool. With developments reaching back to the original Destiny. And I tolerated this since the beginning of Destiny 2. But now it's enough, because they simply can't hold it together anymore. What offends me is that they didn't really develop anything new. Bungie just made it tougher and inaccessible. They removed bounties from 4 planetary vendors, in all 10. The freedom of choice with "Weekly Challenges" is gone. They have a limited time frame now. And the "Portal" is above everything. It's prioritized. These days, a lot in Destiny 2 reminds me of a form of mini red tape. That's my last DLC. For sure.

33 RepliesI'm not a Bungie or Destiny defender, trust that I talk well write my fair amount of 💩 For $40 we got A 6 to 8 hour story The entire amount of game play that was in Hell Divers 2 + invading A Dungeon and a redux Dungeon add on Another episode coming in 3 months + " Pantheon 2.0 " Supposedly And 30 to 40 new weapons 4 to 6 New armor sets Imagine people playing Ark raiders with 6 to 8 weapons and thinking that game is peak Maybe we expect too much

What we get is definitely becoming less and less…

1 ReplyAs soon as they deemed new public patrol destinations to be basically eliminated, I knew that the Destiny I enjoyed was no longer available. We are getting less content, more tedious and difficult grind, and less fun. The focus on the portal basically did a soft sunset on the rest of the game.

This is free content update at best in other games

Really? I can't imagine.
