Destiny’s full first sequel will be “the start of a new adventure” in more ways than one.
Bungie has announced that the upcoming sequel to Destiny will force players to start fresh with their characters.
All weapons, gear and loot from Destiny will not be transferable to Destiny 2. However, a character’s physical appearance will remain.
In a new blog post, Bungie explained that the sequel will be “the start of a new adventure for every player, with new worlds to explore, new stories to tell, new powers to acquire, new loot to earn, and much more.” For these reason, “power, possessions, and Eververse-related items and currency will not carry forward,” although they will still be accessible in the first Destiny game.
It seems that more than ever, Bungie wants Destiny 2 to start on a clean slate so that it has the biggest chance of revitalizing the franchise.
“We believe this is the best path forward,” the blog post stated. “It allows us to introduce the major advancements and improvements that all of us expect from a sequel, ensuring it will be the best game we can create, unencumbered by the past.”
According to Kotaku, who first reported on the possibility of a character reset in Sept. of last year, the most dedicated of the Destiny‘s fanbase will not be surprised at this news.
