Destiny 2 2024 Roadmap Brings Vex, Vampires and Variety

A brand new look at the 2024 content roadmap for Destiny 2 has given us a lot to be excited about, with some pretty exciting new activities, mechanics and sweet, sweet lore to dig into. Here we’ll go over everything that was revealed for each Episode and give you the really good bits.

Destiny 2 Echoes Content Roadmap

Echoes will be the first Episode we dive into with the new year of content ahead. This one will focus on the return of Failsafe, everyone’s favorite slowly degrading colony AI friendship, and some more Vex shenanigans. That means we’ll be returning to Nessus, albeit with a fancy new coat of paint.

We will of course be getting a new seasonal activity with this, known as ‘Breach Executable’, which is described as a third-person ‘arena style offensive’ that will likely focus on sealing geysers of Radiolarian fluid. (Known affectionately as… Vex Milk).

As mentioned before, Nessus will be getting a bit of a facelift. Because of this new Vex offensive, things that were only in the Vex Network have started to break into real space, and I hope that means the changes will be big, because Nessus has remained almost. untouched since release back in 2014.

And of course, we’ll be getting new goodies like armor and weapons, one of which is definitely… interesting to look at. (I can’t overstate how much I HATE the wizard head… It’s like some kind of massive metal bird head or something. Deeply disturbing stuff.)

It looks like we’ll also be going into a deeper exploration of some major landmarks, with some very cool scenes on display. What the nature of this research will be is unclear so far, but it will probably tie in with the seasonal activities in some way (or fingers crossed, a new dungeon).

Another thing that was revealed (sort of) was that the Vex will be getting a new enemy type, and if the images shown are anything to go by, I’m absolutely mortified. Very few details were given on this unfortunately, but here’s hoping it’s some kind of Vex Mouse Droid, and not what they put on screen when they discussed this new fighter.

Destiny 2 Recurring Content Roadmap

They used a word I couldn’t have expected from Destiny 2 in a million years in this piece, and I’m thrilled. Fallen? Meh. Fallen Vampires? Quite please with a cherry on top.

Described as having “Dark Fantasy themes”, Jason Reynolds (Creative Lead) goes on to say “it’s about killing vampires, with a touch of Splicer mixed in.” I couldn’t be more signed up for anything because that sounds like an absolute blast to me. You will take on the mantle of ‘Slayer Baron’ (I mean, ek) for this Episode, and go out hunting monsters.

Information about this Episode has been a little less forthcoming since it’s still a long way off, but we’re probably getting closer to release. What we do have, however, is some the coolest looking weapon and armor concepts, and a really sweet new “Potion Crafting” mechanic that will allow you to more directly impact what it is in the game you’re after. This seems to be related to more direct control over the types of loot you can take, but this remains to be seen.

And the final Episode for the annual content will be Heresy, this one with a major focus on the Hive, the Pantheon, and a new eldritch unit of some description. Details on this one are always scarcer than Revenant, but we still have some juicy tidbits to look forward to.

The big reveal was that we would be returning to the Dreadnaught, the ship belonging to Crota, otherwise known to veterans and raiders as “The Taken King”. This alone is exciting enough, as it’s likely we’ll be delving into regions of the Dreadnaught we’ve never seen before, but what exactly we’ll be doing there is still a mystery.

Another major focus is on the Pantheon of the Beehive itself, which will apparently see a bit of a shake-up. What this could mean is absolutely beyond me, as they don’t exactly seem like the healthiest family unit to begin with. Not quite sure I can imagine Savathûn and Xivu Arath having a… quarrel? I figured they were just going to try to kill each other or something. (They probably will.) Either that or it will be a shake-up of the Beehive’s Worm Gods that would open up a whole other can of something-other-than-worms.

We got some nicer concept art of course, and aside from that awesome set of Echoes, it looks like we’re in for some treats this year.

All in all, we are in for a mighty exciting year. We’ll see the return of a favorite character in Echoes, the introduction of Vampires (still can’t get over how cool that is) in Revenant, and the return of an all-time favorite location in Heresy. Not to mention, a continuation of the Destiny we sometimes loved and sometimes hated throughout 2024, and as revealed at the end…in 2025 as well.
