However, one of the weakest points of Destiny 2 in its current state is how it narrates the story to any new or returning players. While Bungie might have seasonally mastered the art of storytelling, the New Light experience still lacks more things than it should.
Earlier this week, in Game Maker’s Notebook Podcast, Bungie’s Executive Creative Director, Luke Smith shed some light on the New Light experience and what the company is planning for the future.

To fully support a massive live service game such as Destiny 2, there are obviously bound to be a few things that might become controversial in the long run and DCV or Destiny Content Vault is one of them. On one hand, it can be incredibly beneficial for upcoming in-game content, while on the other, it is despised by the playerbase.
Keeping a balance between the two is the aim of every company, especially Bungie, who are known to be very transparent with their community. In a conversation with AIAS’ Game Maker’s Notebook Podcast, Luke spoke about how they will be “re-lighting the engines” to welcome both new and old players.
Luke said:
He further added:
With everything going on in the Destiny universe, it is safe to say that the world around the players has been developing for almost eight years. So, anyone new jumping into Destiny 2 for the first time will be immensely overwhelmed by all the lore, activities, weapons, subclass, and much more.
Luke Smith also went on to acknowledge the YouTube channels helping the community get updated with the story. He added:
Destiny 2 Lightfall is only two expansions away, with Bungie confirming the Year 6 expansion to have a Legendary campaign as well.
