Back in June, Destiny, now free from the shackles of Activision, will be going free-to-play on Steam and will be releasing the new expansion Shadowkeep in September 17th.
That has now been delayed to October 1st
“As we get closer and closer to serving up Shadowkeep and New Light, it has become increasingly clear to us that our releases for this Fall would benefit from a bit more time in the oven,” the blog post by developers (and now publishers) Bungie reads.
Bungie also provided some more dates for additional Destiny stuff. The World First for new raid Garden Of Salvation will come on October 5th. Moments Of Truimph will be extended by three weeks, now ending on September 17th. There will be another Iron Banner week on the same date.
Lastly, cross saves across all platforms will be coming later this summer ahead of the Shadowkeep and new free-to-play base game (now called New Light) releases.
With their new independence, Bungie is committing to ensure the entry to Destiny 2 is lowered and will be adding more MMO and RPG elements to the online looter shooter.
