Bungie prepares to salvage Destiny 2's hemorrhaging player base with the Renegades expansion, a Star Wars crossover that introduces lightsaber-style Praxic Blades and heat-based blasters as alternative weapon types. The update delivers the Lawless Frontier activity featuring three syndicate factions, bounty hunting missions, and an Invasion mode permitting opposing Guardians to sabotage other players' progress, while the Equilibrium dungeon follows shortly thereafter.
The timing proves critical for the struggling shooter, which recorded its lowest concurrent player count on Steam in October and has languished below 50,000 users since early September. Whether Renegades can resurrect the franchise remains uncertain, as persistent player losses threaten further consequences for the beleaguered developer already navigating significant operational challenges.
