Bungie revealed a whopping four Destiny 2 expansions at its latest info explosion, with The Edge of Fate kicking off the "multiyear" Fate Saga on July 15. The second expansion in line, Renegades, due December 2, 2025, ended up dominating a lot of the conversation around the event for one simple reason: it's a Star Wars-inspired expansion with LucasFilm Games involved in some way.

Star Wars fans among Destiny 2's audience were understandably thrilled by the news, but others (like my clanmate and PC Gamer colleague Tim) were concerned that Bungie may be compromising the game's identity to make some unseen number go up with a licensing deal.
