The second major drop in Destiny 2’s Year of Prophecy — Renegades — arrives December 2, 2025, and it’s already one of the franchise’s most talked-about expansions. Aesthetically bold and narratively ambitious, Renegades doesn’t just look different — it feels like a creative departure while keeping the soul of Destiny intact.

Canon-Confirmed, Star Wars-Inspired

When the reveal trailer landed, complete with energy blades and armor evoking a galaxy far, far away, the Destiny community lit up. Was this a crossover? Was Destiny trading its identity for hype?
Bungie answered with clarity: Renegades is 100% canon.
“Everything in Renegades is in-canon,” said Assistant Game Director Robbie Stevens. “We’re leaning into the aesthetic and tone of Star Wars to tell a Destiny story with Destiny characters.”
This is not a partnership with Lucasfilm. There’s no Sith invasion of the Last City. Instead, it’s an homage — a stylistic tribute to the sci-fi that inspired Bungie back in the Halo days. The Renegades campaign, characters, dungeon, and loot are all crafted firmly within Destiny’s universe.
What’s Coming in Destiny 2: Renegades?
Launching as the final major expansion of Year of Prophecy, Renegades offers a full-featured content package, including:
- A new campaign driving the next arc of the Fate Saga
- A new dungeon filled with high-stakes encounters and unique rewards
- Exclusive loot, cosmetics, and gear systems
- Narrative and visual inspiration from classic sci-fi storytelling
This expansion builds on the foundation laid by Edge of Fate, with Bungie promising more creative risks, deeper character arcs, and evolved gameplay systems throughout the Fate Saga.
Style Without Sacrifice: The Ultimate Edition Breakdown
Bungie’s love letter to cinematic sci-fi doesn’t stop with the story. Guardians who pick up the Ultimate Edition unlock instant access to a set of iconic armor ornaments — each evoking legends of the genre:
- Vader-style Titan set – Commanding presence, brutal lines
- Kylo-inspired Hunter gear – Sleek, menacing, rogue-coded
- Grievous-flavored Warlock robes – Tech-meets-terror
It’s visual storytelling, not just cosplay. And no, these aren’t canon Star Wars items — they’re Destiny interpretations designed to celebrate the medium while respecting its own lore.
Destiny’s Identity Evolves — Not Ends
Bungie isn’t shying away from style in Renegades. But beneath the visual shift is a familiar foundation: ancient forces stirring, new alliances forming, and Guardians standing at the edge of something vast and unknowable.
This is the next phase of Destiny’s ongoing evolution — both narratively and tonally — where bold aesthetics are used not to replace the game’s identity, but to amplify its epic scale.
As VP Justin Truman put it:
“It’s a Destiny story at heart — just told through a new lens we’ve always dreamed of exploring.”
