The arrival of the 10th anniversary of Destiny heralds some big changes in the works for Destiny 2, which will drop linear campaigns completely following the end of The Final Shape in favor of two "medium-sized" expansions per year, along with four"major updates" that will be free for all players.
Previous Destiny 2 expansions have been built around major campaigns that push the story forward in big ways—the problem for Bungie being that while those campaigns are very resource-intensive to create, committed players can blow through them in a day or two. Post-Final Shape expansions will forgo that in favor things like "non-linear campaigns, exploration experiences similar to the Dreaming City or Metroidvanias, and even more unusual formats like roguelikes or survival shooters," built around unifying core themes but on a smaller scale.
