Bungie reveals Destiny 2’s Beyond Light expansion and next-gen plans

Bungie finally shared details on Destiny 2’s mysterious 12th season, which kicks off today. A livestream presentation revealed what’s in store for the newly dubbed Season of Arrivals, as well as next-gen plans and significant changes coming this fall.
The stream began with 8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence to represent the amount of time George Floyd was choked by police. On-screen text showed a list of organizations and urged fans to donate.
After the moment of silence, the half-hour presentation showed off a host of new details and revealed that Destiny 2 will come to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The next-gen version of the game will run at 60 frames per second and feature 4K resolution, and players who already own expansions like Shadowkeep will not need to rebuy them on new consoles. The game will feature intergenerational crossplay between current and new consoles.
While the livestream gave players their first look at today’s Season of Arrivals, the bulk of the presentation was about Bungie’s longer-term plans for its looter shooter. The studio explained that it was “all-in” on Destiny 2 and outlined what it calls a “new era” for the game.
