It’s all about “bubble” locations.
Bungie has confirmed that although there will be new locations included as part of Destiny 2’s new Annual Pass, these will not include any new planets.
The news comes courtesy of Polygon, who report on a recent Q&A with game director Steve Cotton and project lead Scott Taylor.
During the session, the developers were asked whether the Annual Pass would feature new locations to visit, with Taylor confirming that there would be new places to visit but that these would be restricted to what the developers call “bubble” locations as opposed to new planets. Cotton affirmed that there will be no new planets added over the course of the next year.
There was no clarification as to what is meant by “bubble” locations, but it seems likely that these are new, standalone areas such as spaceships (similar to Oryx’s Dreadnaught) or previously-inaccessible areas of existing planets.
The Annual Pass content will be releasing in three chunks alongside Destiny 2’s post-Forsaken seasonal content; the first batch of content, called Black Armory, launches in December, so we should know more by then.
Destiny 2: Forsaken launches later today, September 4.
