"Destiny 2's Future: Beyond 'The Final Shape' and Surviving Content Droughts"

Bungie's future plans for Destiny 2 after 'The Final Shape' expansion are uncertain, with the introduction of narrative-disconnected "Episodes" replacing the seasonal model. There is speculation on whether Bungie will continue with annual expansions or shift to a new model due to the high costs and risks associated with expansions, recent layoffs, and the company's focus on new IPs. While the traditional expansion model is deeply integrated into Destiny's structure, the frequency of these expansions may increase beyond the yearly schedule. Bungie has not announced new expansions, likely to keep the focus on 'The Final Shape,' but it is anticipated that expansions will continue in some form to maintain the game's viability.
