It’s been over eight years since the release of Destiny 2, a title that has continued to grow in content, complexity, and loyal followers. However, this same expansion has ultimately become a barrier to entry for many new players. Bungie has acknowledged this, recognizing that starting the adventure at this point can be overwhelming.

Robbie Stevens, the game’s creative director, openly explained this in a recent interview. According to Stevens, the team is developing new ways to introduce new players without sacrificing the depth that veterans value. The goal is clear: to make Destiny 2 more accessible from the start.

Bungie is working on a more guided introduction to Destiny 2

“We’re looking for a way to offer a more curated experience in the early stages,” Stevens commented. “We want something that a veteran player can also enjoy, with more guided sessions, but without losing the freedom of customization and depth that makes the game strong.”

According to the creative director, Bungie knows that a large part of the audience is already familiar with the basics of a shooter, so the traditional step-by-step tutorial may be unnecessary. Instead, they are designing an introduction that allows players to organically understand the game’s key systems, facilitating a natural progression.

The problem lies not only in the amount of accumulated content but also in the fact that a large part of the community consists of very experienced players. This is added to the many plot details that have been developed over the years, making it even more difficult to follow the story if you start from scratch.

For now, Bungie has not provided specific dates or details on when these changes will be available. However, with The Final Shape marking the end of an important storyline, it’s likely that the studio is taking advantage of this transition to restructure the welcome experience and attract new players.
