Destiny 2 Expansion Codename Apollo: What to Expect
Bungie has given us a glimpse into the next phase of Destiny 2 content, including the upcoming expansion, Codename: Apollo. Although details are scarce, the developer has provided some concept art and inspirations that offer a hint of what’s to come.
Codename: Frontiers and the Future of Destiny 2
Codename: Frontiers marks the next phase of Destiny 2’s content, set to kick off in Summer 2025. This new phase will include two major expansions, rather than one large release. The first expansion, Codename: Apollo, will feature a nonlinear campaign structure with a metroidvania gameplay approach, allowing players to choose their path through the content as they unlock new abilities.
Concept Art and Inspirations
Concept art for Codename: Apollo shows a group of people performing a ritual involving blue energy, with a rocky, tree-dotted landscape in the background that resembles the Cosmodrome location on Earth. Another piece of concept art depicts an underground location with structures among the rocks and possibly more blue energy. These images may suggest that the new destination is a hidden location on Earth, possibly underground.
Developers have also mentioned inspirations for Apollo, including the music of the 1960s, Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Slaughterhouse Five, and the animated series Scavenger’s Reign. These influences may hint at a story that involves time travel and exploration of the unknown.
Speculation and Possibilities
With the Light and Darkness Saga coming to an end, the possibilities for the future of Destiny 2 are endless. The inclusion of time travel elements and the mysterious atmosphere of Scavenger’s Reign may suggest a story that delves into the unknown. Although we can only speculate, one thing is certain: Codename: Apollo will be an exciting and unpredictable addition to the Destiny 2 universe.
