Jan. 14, 2018

As reported byGamespot, in a recent blog post, Destiny 2’s game director Christopher Barrett has explained what the team has planned for the game’s future updates in a complete roadmap reveal. To start off, thefirst of many new updates will be coming on January 30 and will expand the Masterwork system to include armor for the first time.The said armor is supposed to offer better damage reduction while making use of your Super abilities. Furthermore, it can be upgraded as well using Cores and Shards tied to Masterworks.

This update will alsofeature mods with Raid-specific perks. The team is also said to be working on adjusting the rewards to ensure a Raid item drops from each major encounter. There will be new perks dropping from the final encounters in the Leviathan and Eater of Worlds raids.

Next up, the team hasalso planned an update in the month of February, that will addscoring and high score tracking to Nightfall Strikes.Also, the update will bring a version 2.0 for the mods, which is described by Bungie as a “full rework” of how mods work for armor and weapons. The team also states that they’ll be adding the ability to see other members of your fireteam on the destination map.

Players will also get the ability to host private matches where they can invite friends to and choose a map and mode.The team is also launching a 6v6 playlist, a “Mayhem event”, and some behind-the-scenes improvements and fixesto improve the experience overall.

Clearly, the development team at Bungie has been working very hard in polishing the overall experience of Destiny 2.

With such a hefty roadmap set ahead and plenty of fan-requested features making its way into the game, I feel Bungie is set to establish Destiny 2 as a multiplayer game that will continue to be played by gamers along the world, and follow in the lines of Counter-Strike and DOTA.
