Bungie’s efforts to build enthusiasm for Destiny 2’s future amid significant layoffs at the studio and fan concerns continue with yet more teases for next year’s Codename: Apollo expansion – which is now confirmed to be whisking players to a “Metroidvania-inspired destination”, as seen in new concept art, and arriving alongside “next generation” armour.
Bungie announced Codename: Apollo back in September as part of “major changes” that’ll see the studio launch two “medium” Destiny 2 expansions every year, instead of a single major release. At the time, Apollo was described as a “non-linear character-driven adventure”, with the word “Metroidvania” floated but not confirmed.
Now though, as part of its latest developer stream, Bungie has shared a little more detail on what’s to come. Codename: Apollo, as previously confirmed, arrives next summer as the first of Bungie’s twice-yearly “medium-sized” releases, which, for context, are said to be approximately the same size as Destiny 1’s Rise of Iron expansion.
