Star Wars Expansion Set For 'Destiny 2'
Bungie's live-service online shooter Destiny 2 might be eight years old now, but the game is still being supported with new content drops, with the studio revealing two new paid expansions set for this year, which mark the title's next major story arc, the Fate Saga , including one that's themed after Star Wars.
First teased late last year, the two expansions will follow the game's Year of Prophecy arc, beginning on 15 July with a paid expansion named The Edge of Fate . According to its announcement post, the expansion will take players to a new location known as Kepler, which will be 'inspired by the puzzle-solving and pathfinding challenges of Destiny 2's dungeons and destination design, which encourages deep exploration, mystery, and player-driven discovery.'
Apart from providing new enemies, weapons and gear to discover, The Edge of Fate will also feature destination-specific abilities surrounding its new gameplay system, dark matter energy. This mysterious power source enables the use of new abilities like Matterspark, which can allow Guardians to change forms for both traversal and combat, the Relocator Cannon, which uses Fallen dark matter tech to teleport players across the environment, or Mattermorph, which combines dark matter and Strand to allow players to manipulate their surroundings.
The upcoming expansion will also mark the beginning of a new season, Reclamation , which will be accompanied by free updates for all players to shake up the game, including the Portal, described as 'a new activity selection screen that will offer instant access to a range of activities tailored to different playstyles', an Armour 3.0 rework, a new tier system for weapons and armour, and a new shooting range. More free content is set to arrive on 9 September under the title Ash & Iron , although further information on this major update has yet to be detailed.
Following The Edge of Fate , the game's second major expansion this year, named Renegades , is set to be themed after the worldwide pop culture phenomenon Star Wars , with its brief trailer showcasing its iconic lightsaber and blasters. Developed in partnership with Lucasfilm, not much is known about the expansion, with Bungie describing it as 'a definitive Destiny expansion with a narrative integral to the Fate Saga ' and that it will introduce 'new Destiny characters, innovative activities, and evolved mechanics designed to surprise and delight players'. Finally, the game's content lineup for Year of Prophecy will close with the Shadow & Order major update on 3 March 2026, promising more content leading up to next year.
Pre-orders for both the individual The Edge of Fate expansion and other bundles for the Year of Prophecy's content are now open for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC, with more information listed on its announcement post.

Mark Hamill Retires From Luke Skywalker, Won't Return For Future 'Star Wars' Movies
It appears that Mark Hamill may be done with the Star Wars franchise, as the actor who played Luke Skywalker has announced his retirement from the character, ruling out his return to the universe and suggesting that the franchise should look towards the future instead of being stuck in the past. This comes after an interview with ComicBook, where Hamill talked about his upcoming movie, The Life of Chuck . 'I am so grateful to [George Lucas] for letting me be a part of that back in the day, the humble days when George called Star Wars 'the most expensive low-budget movie ever made,'' Hamill replied when asked about his potential return as a Force ghost in the upcoming Rey-led Star Wars film, New Jedi Order . 'We never expected it to become a permanent franchise and a part of pop culture like that. But my deal is, I had my time. I'm appreciative of that, but I really think they should focus on the future and all the new characters. And by the way, when I disappeared in [ The Last Jedi ], I left my robes behind. And there's no way I'm gonna appear as a naked Force ghost.' Hamill's answer seems loud and clear, The Last Jedi might be the last fans see of Luke Skywalker in any form. True to his suggestion, the franchise is placing the spotlight on Daisy Ridley's Ray, who is set to return for New Jedi Order , the Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy-directed sequel to 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker , which will centre on Ray as she rebuilds the Jedi order and is set 15 years after the preceding movie. Looking towards the future of the franchise, Disney has three films in its release pipeline: Two set in 2026 on 22 May and 18 December, and one on 17 December 2027.
