Destiny 2 Apollo Story

As the first expansion following The Final Shape, Apollo will delve into uncharted territories within Destiny 2. Although details are limited, the developers have indicated that it will revolve around a central theme, akin to those seen in Light and Darkness.

Like its predecessors, this expansion will introduce new characters and factions, expanding upon the previous saga.

Destiny 2’s new expansions will usher players into new frontiers.

Apollo will be the first expansion in Destiny 2 to offer a non-linear narrative experience. Players can explore the story at their own pace, unearthing each chapter as they navigate through various locations.

The developers have hinted that this expansion will serve as “narrative gasoline to propel us into the next few years with a clear theme, goal, and a destination that will reward and surprise players while taking them to unexplored landscapes within the Destiny universe,” the blog states.
