Bungie gives a closer look at what’s coming July 15, including new systems and a mysterious new destination
In today’s developer livestream, Bungie offered Destiny 2 players a deeper look into the Edge of Fate expansion, launching July 15, with a focus on major core updates to armor, buildcrafting, and gear customization. The stream also featured a new developer insight video exploring Kepler, the upcoming destination Guardians will soon uncover.
Welcome to Kepler
Kepler was described as a mysterious, dungeon-like environment filled with destination-specific abilities that will challenge how players navigate and fight. Bungie hinted that Kepler will offer more than just standard patrol content, pushing Guardians to rethink movement, teamwork, and traversal in new ways.
Armor 3.0 and Buildcrafting Changes
A major highlight of the stream was the introduction of Armor 3.0, a new system that aims to streamline buildcrafting and make it easier to create focused, powerful loadouts. Key changes include:
- Gear tiering and focused gear drops
- Overhauled artifact mod system
- New weapon systems integrated with buildcrafting
These updates are designed to give players more meaningful choices and clearer paths to optimizing their Guardian’s role in both PvE and PvP.
What’s Next?
The next Destiny 2 developer livestream will take place on Tuesday, July 1, offering even more details on what to expect when The Edge of Fate launches.
Pre-orders are now live for the Year of Prophecy, which includes access to The Edge of Fate on July 15, Renegades on December 2, and additional seasonal content.
Get ready — Kepler and the future of Destiny 2 are closer than you think.
