The core game will be renamed to Destiny 2: New Light

Once Shadowkeep launches on September 17th, the base game will go free-to-play and include "all year one content, including "foundational modes, activities and rewards.""

"This represents a change for the Destiny franchise as it seeks to lure gamers away from popular free titles like Fortnite. Previously, players paid upfront for the game and bought big expansions to gain access to new raids, missions and in-game items, either separately or as an annual pass subscription. Now, the core game will stay free, while additional content will be made available in the form of paid "à la carte" offerings like Shadowkeep."

Going forward, no more content will be made exclusive to one platform over others. All platforms will have the same access to all content at the same time
Cross-save will be added for Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia. No PS4 support for now

Soon, the game will move from Battle.net to Steam on PC. Existing players willbe able to migrate all characters and purchases over to the Steam version once this happens

I think this is their stopgap to wait till the next gen. They probably don't want to release a D3 right now for just the current consoles. Probably cross-gen in 2020/2021.

Bhai jis ke pass battle.net per khareeda hua hai us ka Kia Hoga? Kya steam release free mile gy?

Nahi. Based game was released 2 years ago. That and first year content is free for everyone regardless of what you own on Battle.net.

Destiny 2: New Light will include the base game with the Cabal Red War campaign as well as the Leviathan raids, plus all content from the Curse of Osiris and Warmind DLCs. It will also come with Gambit, all the Strikes and Crucible maps, and access to all destinations, including The Dreaming City, Tangled Shore from Forsaken, and the new moon destination coming in Destiny 2 Shadowkeep.

Naturally, New Light doesn't come with everything. For example, while players will be able to explore The Dreaming City and participate in publicly available activities, New Light players will need to purchase Forsaken to play its story missions, the Last Wish raid, the Shattered Throne Dungeon, and so on. This will also apply to annual pass content like Gambit Prime, the Black Armory Forges, and Penumbra's Menagerie. It sounds like a nice compromise, and New Light should give new players a lot to sample.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
