Destiny 2’s upcoming expansion, Edge of Fate, is generating buzz, but recent data indicates pre-orders are nearly 50% lower than The Final Shape. Set to launch on July 15, 2025, this expansion introduces significant features like a new gear tiering system and a non-linear campaign.
- Pre-orders for Edge of Fate are 47% lower.
- Expansion launches on July 15, 2025.
- Edge of Fate introduces a new content structure.
- Player trust in Bungie has declined recently.
- Edge of Fate lacks the urgency of The Final Shape.
- Steam sales rankings show significant drop.
While many longtime players are intrigued, the excitement surrounding Edge of Fate seems muted compared to previous releases. As of June 26, 2025, pre-order statistics suggest a concerning trend for Bungie.
This decline raises questions about the future of Destiny 2. Why are players less enthusiastic about this expansion? Several factors may contribute to this trend:
- Edge of Fate marks the beginning of a new saga, lacking the closure that The Final Shape provided.
- Trust in Bungie has waned due to recent layoffs and project cancellations.
- The smaller scope of Edge of Fate may feel less essential compared to previous expansions.
As the gaming community watches closely, will Bungie adapt its approach to regain player trust and excitement? The upcoming weeks will be crucial for gauging player sentiment.
