Destiny Dev Bungie Says Year Two Will Have More Events

In a new interview, Destiny developer Bungie talked about what players can expect to see in the game in the coming year. Unlike Year One, players shouldn't expect to see "giant, monolithic" expansion packs for the game. Instead, they can expect to see new events and content for the game moving forward.

"With Taken King, we are moving to a more event-based model–things like Festival of the Lost and Sparrow racing, which is our winter event, and then smaller events such as Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris every weekend," senior designer Derek Carroll said to Eurogamer.

"Rather than doing these giant, monolithic DLC packs, this way everybody who's an owner of Taken King can enjoy these things."

Players will not have to purchase an expansion pass to experience any of the new content slated for release.

"But basically the live team is charged with maintaining the game and keeping players happy, feeding them new content and surprising them with things they didn't expect.

"I think by design the idea is to have these events which are surprises–so we can understand why players on the one hand want to have their lives mapped out for the next year," he added. "The way we're going is: you can expect new content from the live team in Destiny although we're not really telegraphing that. Certainly, players can expect new events and new content throughout the next year. We're taking it one step at a time."

The game's latest patch adds Sparrow Racing and is out today.
