A new report claims that following its latest round of layoffs, Bungie won't release annual expansions for Destiny 2.

Following massive layoffs at Destiny 2 developer Bungie on Thursday, the company announced it would be changing course. According to a new report, that includes moving away from annual Destiny 2 expansions.

Recommended Videos Instead, Bungie will focus on free, smaller updates. Into the Light, a Destiny 2 update from April, is one such example. It filled the gap before The Final Shape launch and introduced a new PVE mode called Onslaught, a new social hub, improved character customization, and, of course, new gear such as weapons and armor.

Other revelations from the article include that Bungie was working on a project called Payback that sources said was more of a spinoff from the Destiny universe rather than a proper sequel. It would have a third-person POV and more about exploration and puzzle-solving than Destiny 2. However, it was canceled a couple months ago.
