The Short-Term: Episodes and Expansion
Fallout Plays discusses the shift from seasons to episodes in Destiny year 10, highlighting the similarities between the two formats. The first episode, Echo, focuses on the new Vex threat on Nessus, while the next episode, Revenant, will center around the Fallen and the Scorn. The future expansion, Frontiers, remains a mystery, but there are speculations that it may follow the episodic format with a larger expansion included.

He acknowledges the challenge of maintaining power creep and developing new subclasses and weapons that can compete with existing options.
Overall, Fallout Plays appreciates the work put into Destiny 2 and hopes for a future that is engaging, meaningful, and fun.
