The future of Destiny 2 will take the form of episodes, Bungie's new take on seasons. In 2025, however, the next chapter in the franchise's journey will play out in the mysterious form of Destiny 2: Codename Frontiers. And so far, no one knows exactly what that is.
Destiny 2 conspiracy theory (codename Frontiers)
Bungie's "The Journey Ahead" video outlines the three episodes coming in the year of The Final Shape, moved to Year 10, and encompassing the franchise as a whole rather than just Year 7 of Destiny 2. The video ends with a teaser for 2025, simply saying that the future of Destiny 2 will take place as Codename Frontiers. Here's what that likely means.
Destiny 2: Codename Frontiers is likely the working title of the game's upcoming expansion. It will release under the Year 11 banner, with The Final Shape as Year 10. Expansions generally have a life cycle of one year, with another expansion usually following the year after.
The video also states that "the journey continues" in 2025, which will mark the end of the current episode cycle. This strongly suggests that Codename Frontiers will be the next expansion, as that would mark the end of The Final Shape's lifecycle as Year 10 of content.
