Destiny 2 will be 4K/60fps on next gen consoles, will offer free upgrades to next gen console versions and will have cross-play between generations within the same console family. (

Old Destiny 1 content is being "remastered" (eg the Cosmodrome), so more copypasta that the series is known for. The enemies in this new expansion will just be reskinned Taken (who themselves were reskins of units from other factions).
Will this expansion actually be good? We'll see. 2019 Shadowkeep was utter garbage, but you'd have to find opinions from people who weren't no lifer addicts to discover that (outside of playing it for yourself).

Vanilla Destiny 2 was awesome for casual players like me. Upon PC launch for several months I would play almost every day and would get awesome loot easily. I even joined a guild and did the raids (which I hated, with the puzzle solving and heavy teamplay components. I just wanted to shoot stuff. I.e. I just wanted bigger/long Strikes + Nightfalls.) I fell off after the initial season pass content, but returned for the Steam launch (New Light) + Shadowkeep expansion. They had turned the game into a massive grind for no life losers, i.e. the hardcore Destiny 1 regulars who had whined about vanilla D2. Originally it was easy to upgrade your weapons/gear, by just infusing gear of the same type. With New Light you had to craft a particular currency to upgrade, by having to grind for the particular components. I dropped the new version of the game hard because it had become a massive, unfun bore.
The final straw which put Bungie permanently on my shit list was their practice of vaulting content. Entire expansions that people had bought were being stolen. I remember seeing a Bellular News video on the practice and being flabbergasted that there were corporate slave bootlickers who genuinely defended the practice on Reddit and the like. To this the day vaulted expansions are STILL being sold on Steam! Utter scumbags.
I remember when Activision let Bungie and Destiny 2 free of their contract, people were cheering. They assumed that Activision were the ones making the game shitty. Oh, how wrong they were! The game + business practices become infinitely more shitty when was Bungie 100% unshackled.
