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?

Let’s have a look here… I could buy Renegades for £35. The only things that really matter are a few weapons and some exotics. On the other hand, I could buy Nightreign for £35. That’s a whole new game. On a third hand (don’t ask me how), I could get Dead Cells and all of its’ DLCs for roughly £35 on sale. Two of those options give me a REAL fresh experience, and will last for hundreds of hours. Doesn’t take a genius to guess which two. The biggest issue is that Bungie doesn’t give us the quality or quantity matching the price tag. Had it been maybe £15 or £20 (Let’s be honest, it’s the size of a season not an ‘expansion’), then I’d buy it. A REAL expansion, is what each Monster Hunter game does, as an example. They are legendary, and… also cost under £35.

Um they identify as "chapters" now and i kindly ask you to respect thr choice
-
The old saying goes like this “You can’t polish a turd” which I guess is a good description of what’s available in Destiny 2 as of now.
-
When the campaign ended I was shocked. It was so easy and mixed in were like that exotic mission which is maybe their worst made to date, and the patrol “missions”. This was a serious ripoff. Also everything Star Wars (if you wanted it)beyond the base saber costs real money. This was a cash grab and another nail in the coffin in my opinion

Изменено (Creapure®): 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.

4 отв.As 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.
-
I thought the exact same thing. Renegades' campaign used almost the exact same seasonal structure but without the time gating. Early on it felt extremely similar to revenant when they removed time gating. Talk to someone, listen to a voice note right after talking to them, travel to the tower to listen to a phone call, travel to tharsis to listen to another phone call, travel back to where you started, etc. tons of busy work. This basically was a larger season, instead with star wars as its theme this time.

5 отв.Not a single strike between both EoF and Renegades is crazy to me
-
BUT, if you want to play as any Star Wars Characters, it's $20 bucks a pop. So the best content of why we want to play in the first place is exploited to the hilt, and they wonder why the numbers are in the toilet. We all knew Eververse was gonna be a focus and the inevitable corporate rat that would ruin the game. We were right.

38 отв.I'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
-
I feel like it's bigger than a season, but smaller than an expansion should really be (depending on the quality of the dungeon)
-
I hear yeah, but the dungeon keys have been sold separately for awhile now, so let's call that 10 dollars, 10 dollars for the seasonal activity. So the campaign portion I guess is equal to 20 dollars lol. Although if I'm being honest this dlc is worth the price tag, campaign was entertaining enough and the content is actually FUN, something bungie historically has been allergic towards.

2 отв.The 1 main thing I don't like about Renegades is that there is no actual patrol zones to roam around, which is something I usually enjoy doing when a new expansion comes out. I like the story, campaign missions, the new cabal faction including Dredgen Bael, social hub, the syndicates and the lawless frontier activity in Renegades but having no patrol zones sucks especially with how cool Mars looks. It seems like with each new expansion since The Final Shape we loose more and more of what we used to get. The Final Shape we lost social patrol zones(got solo ones). With Edge of Fate we can still roam around Kepler but we lost public events, patrol beacons, lost sectors and no new strike. Now with Renegades we have lost all of that including the actual destination. What will we loose in the next expansion😒.

2 отв.What we get is definitely becoming less and less…

1 ответИзменено (vphokie): 12/8/2025 7:07:02 AMI’d say it’s slightly more than a season in that the campaign missions are more robust than what we typically get with a season. But the constant going around talking to NPC’s really feels like it was created with the seasonal delivery style in mind. And now there’s nothing but that seasonal activity. Oh, and the portal (eye roll) … so in that regard yeah I agree that it feels a lot like a season too.

2 отв.Thanks for the $40

Изменено (Dooodley): 12/8/2025 9:20:47 AMI'm fine with it because I've really liked it so far. If they sprinkled in a few campaign related things here and there over the course of the next couple of months, even better. Didnt most of us buy the whole year anyway and if so, isnt EoF a bigger reason to be somewhat disappointed? If EoF had knocked it out of the park there'd probably more excitement around Renegades too. There's a couple of things I don't like about Renegades though. I'm not a fan of the weapons, I HATE the artifact and its' anti-champ mechanics and I cant stand the Portal - the latter not being related to Renegades per se but will affect the overall impression once people are done with the Renegade stuff and need something els to do. The portal is currently not a fun or viable option as a daily activity.
-
Bungie isn’t Bungie any more. This was better than EoF atleast. The story needed more. They under delivered im not gonna say it was bad but needed more depth. They could’ve expanded on how we got the blade. Mission to get the hilt than the exotic mission to get the crystal. We expected to fight a lightsaber boss battle, but instead shot up an another big cabal and the drifter blows up the dark guardian :-(. Then we don’t get an epic battle of brigs n walkers, renegades better have a part 2 with that stuff. If this is all we we get for 6 months I don’t see this game lasting any longer.
-
The new "location" hub is more like glorified wallpaper. As lifeless as Anthems "Tarsis" hub. Yet another derivative coincidence I suppose. They didn't even bother to voice the clan bosses. Dead, dull and dormant.
-
Not entirely sure how much content there is as I haven't gotten the game yet. But I imagine the royalties paid to LucasArts/Disney must be pretty $$$$$. But hopefully, the time-gated activities will be unlocked soon and there will be more content available for everyone. ^.^
-
It’s a $40 season.
-
It's more than a Season, but not by much. Sure we got three "new" locations, but they're only used for jobs. No Strikes, no Crucible, nothing else. And jobs are all very repetitive. Each one has four objectives, and only one is unique, the other three are all the same. The only reason people are engaging with them now is because they want all the upgrades for the lightsaber. That's it. Take me for example, I haven't touched any jobs on Venus since I got the lightsaber color associated there.
-
It's definitely more than a season used to be. But, it's also definitely lopsided as a pair with EoF being the bigger of the 2.
-
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.

Изменено (Mark, Scholar of Stars): 12/8/2025 12:24:08 PMI'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 more inaccessible. They removed bounties from 4 planetary vendors. 4 from 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 more of a mini red tape instead of an enjoyable video game. That's my last DLC. For sure. Edit: Text addition

This is free content update at best in other games
