Is ‘Future 2’ Getting Extra Reprised Raids? New Ones? New Expansions? A Sequel? We Don’t Know

Bungie has mapped out the subsequent yr of Future 2 within the wake of The Remaining Form. We all know we’re getting three Episodes, prolonged, damaged up seasons, ones targeted on the Vex, then the Scorn, then the Hive, and we all know the unfastened plotlines of the disconnected tales.

However we don’t know a lot previous that, and it’s gotten the fanbase confused about the place precisely the sport goes from right here. Among the many points:

• The dungeon schedule seems to be totally different than earlier than the place they’re skipping this Episode and doing what looks as if one in every of the subsequent two episodes, provided that they bought a dungeon move.
• As such, it appears doubtless that Bungie just isn’t going to proceed to do reprised raids, as none had been introduced through the preview of Episodes and it appears unlikely that one can be stacked on high of a season already getting a dungeon. There is just one left from Future 1 to reprise, the beloved Wrath of the Machine, however there stay many vaulted raids from Future 2 that might additionally return. However Bungie has not commented in some way, main gamers to consider it’s not occurring.
• We assume that Bungie goes to maintain making new raids sooner or later, given how key that type of content material is to the franchise, however given the shortage of announcement of a brand new growth, that’s not assured.

• We don’t even know proper now that Bungie is continuous to do conventional expansions, provided that one has not been introduced. Solely “Future 2: Frontiers” which doesn’t look like an growth, or else they’d have stated it was. I’ve to consider they may nonetheless do expansions as they want that $100 bundle promoting level annually, however once more, we all know nothing in an period when Bungie was beforehand laying out growth schedules three years forward of time.
• Then, the everlasting query of Future 3. Is Bungie making it? How lengthy can Future 2 itself truly final? I’ve seen theories that we’ll skip an growth, get one other yr of simply episodes, after which get Future 3 in 2026. I don’t consider that is doable provided that the studio broke their backs getting Remaining Form out, leaving all of it on the sphere for the wonderful growth. I don’t assume you will get a full sequel out in two years previous that if you happen to’re not reducing some severe corners or drastically decreasing the dimensions. Although I might be able to purchase a yr off of expansions, given present circumstances.

The primary factor is that the fanbase feels in the dead of night. The sport’s playercount is starting to drop sharply within the wake of The Remaining Form as much less individuals are fascinated with Episodes in comparison with the seasons following Lightfall final yr. A few of it’s the content material there, a few of it’s questioning if it’s time to pause Future indefinitely with the longer term so unclear. We have to know extra.
