The big reveal for Destiny 2: Renegades, Bungie's Star Wars-flavored expansion, has left me a little gun-shy. I'm very neutral on Star Wars, and the sudden influx of lightsabers and bot walkers looks a little bolted on to my cynical and live service crossover-weary eye, so I'm not over the moon with the shift in aesthetic. But I'm not melting down either. The systemic changes accompanying and preceding the expansion, however, sound like a step in the right direction for an MMO suffering an identity crisis.
"We know Destiny's feeling lonely right because all you do is spend time in the mines," Destiny assistant game director Robbie Stevens bluntly said on the reveal stream.
