Destiny 2’s upcoming expansion, Renegades, takes Guardians into uncharted territory with a Star Wars-inspired saga, launching December 2, 2025. Developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, the cinematic trailer introduces players to the Lawless Frontier on Mars, a gritty new setting rife with faction wars, rebellion, and high-stakes choices.
The story follows Guardians confronting the deadly Barren Imperium while forging uneasy alliances and facing haunting visions from the Drifter about a rising Dredgen in Sol. Voice lines hint at internal conflict, collapsing roles, and the temptation to embrace renegade paths, setting a darker, more morally complex tone.
Gameplay is infused with Star Wars flair, including the Praxic Blade—a lightsaber-inspired Exotic sword—and heat-based Blaster weapons. Factions, reputation systems, and outlaw activities craft a wild west vibe among the stars, reinforcing the expansion’s themes of lawlessness and choice.
The cinematic trailer impresses with dramatic CGI sequences, intense confrontations, and haunting narration: “I see hope shrouded in the dark. I see the seeds of extinction adamant, undeniable.” Guardians are invited to embrace their inner renegade and forge new legends as Renegades ushers in a bold new era.
