From Bungie:
Today, Bungie launches Destiny 2: Renegades, the second expansion in the Year of Prophecy and an all-new experience inspired by Star Wars™ in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. As the next chapter in Destiny 2’s Fate Saga, Renegades merges Destiny 2’s distinct combat and storytelling with themes and elements drawn from the iconic sci-fi franchise. Guardians begin their journey as part of a crew of underdogs rising to challenge the Barant Imperium, a powerful Cabal faction, who Drifter suspects are connected to the Nine. Defying the Vanguard, players will join Drifter and forge alliances with new and returning characters while building influence and power in the criminal underworld, centered on the new social hub, Tharsis Outpost, on Mars.
Renegades introduces the Lawless Frontier, a new activity designed for replayability and scalable challenge. Guardians will take on a range of high-risk, high-reward jobs, including Smuggling, Bounty Hunts, and Sabotage, across six new maps on Venus, Europa, and Mars, all inspired by iconic Star Wars locations. Through the new Notoriety system, players build reputation with three Syndicate factions:
- The Pikers: An anarchist and atheist biker gang of Eliksni seeking to build a society free from traditional ranks and hierarchy.
- Tharsis Reformation: A breakaway sect of sentient Vex, driven by a desire to experience personal identity outside the Vex collective.
- Totality Division: A rogue branch of the Barant Imperium Cabal, operating as a Syndicate on Mars and ruled by psions.
