Renegades Gave Destiny 2 Momentum — Now Progress Hits Pause

[ed]

The reported delay comes despite positive momentum from Destiny 2’s Renegades expansion, which surprised players with its clear Star Wars inspirations. From the Tharsis Outpost cantina-style hub to weapons evoking Han Solo, Din Djarin and Chewbacca, the expansion injected much-needed novelty into the game without using licensed names or locations.

Players have also responded well to new gameplay additions like the Praxic Blade, the Lawless Frontier activity and updates to core systems such as Vanguard Alerts. While overall player counts haven’t fully recovered, Renegades has been widely viewed as a step in the right direction — making the pause before Shadow and Order feel particularly frustrating for those hoping to build on that momentum.
