Destiny Spring Update Separate From New Expansion, Light Level Increase Inbound

Activision announced that Bungie’s Destiny would be receiving a large new expansion later this year and in a recent news update on the developer’s site, it confirmed that the upcoming Spring update would be separate and offer plenty of new content for players.

“That content release will feature a significant Light increase, a bunch of new gear to earn and equip, and new challenges for PvE players seeking some more fun experiences and replayability. Beyond that, the team is focused on delivering a large expansion later this year, and a full Destiny sequel in 2017.

“As work wraps up in the weeks ahead, look for more details about the Spring content, as well as more information about our bigger projects in the months that follow.”

Though all these announcements are cause for celebration, it remains to be seen how Bungie will handle the fallout of its matchmaking, RNG, loot drops and generally poor communication with players.
