Destiny 2: Legacy Collection kicks off the Epic store’s holiday giveaways
14.12.2023 - 15:06 / destructoid.com
For some Destiny 2 players, the holidays may have just arrived early. From now until December 20, most of Destiny 2 is free to claim through the Epic Games Store,
The acquisition won’t cost a dime, and the content will remain in your library. That said, the Epic Games Store will become the default Destiny 2 destination for those who take up this offer. This is the first of several giveaways from Epic, with 17 reportedly set to arrive over the coming days.
Players have been asking for a more accessible entry point in Destiny 2 for years. While the base game is free to play, Destiny‘s expansions haven’t seen much, if any, price drop since release. Sentiment recently came to a head following a round of layoffs at Bungie and the confirmation of the next expansion’s delay.
Just after these events, Bungie debuted Season 23 and a new microtransaction alongside it. Dubbed a “Starter Pack,” the contents included a few Exotic weapons and materials that could all be earned free in-game. From there, conversations reemerged around how expensive it was to start Destiny 2. Some even called on Bungie to make older expansions cheaper.
It is unclear whether this Epic Games Store freebie has Bungie’s hand behind it. It is, however, a fantastic opportunity for any players looking to get into Destiny 2. And it might even be tempting enough to convince a few free-to-play console or Steam players to convert to Epic’s launcher.
The Epic Games Store is offering the Destiny 2: Legacy Collection for free until December 20. This pack includes all of the currently released expansions in the game except for the newest, Lightfall. That includes Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, and The Witch Queen. It’s important to note that this bundle does not include the Destiny 2 base game, but that is also free.
Between the three expansions, players get a good chunk of content. This includes three Campaigns, three Raids, two Dungeons, four Strikes, and several activities across three new destinations. Of those three Campaigns, The Witch Queen is by far the best, but the others still offer some highs. And, of course, each expansion has its Exotic loot to chase. Some of the best weapons come from these expansions, like The Lament, Witherhoard, and Leviathan’s Breath.
Though the name Legacy Collection might imply content from Destiny 2’s beginning, this isn’t the case. Famously, Bungie vaulted most of the early years of Destiny 2. Nearly everything except some gear from vanilla to Forsaken has been sliced out, including Campaigns and quests. Forsaken itself was split, with the Dreaming City locale and the Last Wish Raid now sold as a Forsaken Pack. Bungie tossed everything else into the vault alongside the Red War Campaign.
So, aside from the Forsaken

Nintendo Kicks Off Their Holiday Sale Event
Video games are not cheap. We probably don’t have to tell you that. However, you can typically find some games dropping down in price over time. Those AAA titles that cost you $69.99 brand new are not easy to keep up with forever. Sometimes, it’s best to let some of those games drop down to a more comfortable entry price. Unfortunately, Nintendo games don’t typically follow that trend. Normally, those games, especially first-party studio releases from Nintendo, will stay at a pretty high premium.

The Picard Legacy Collection puts one of the greatest remasters of all time in sprawling context
Like a lot of folks here at Polygon, I’m a bit of a physical media nerd. I’m not going to extol its virtues here (we have a regular roundup for that), but I’ve recently leveled up my media library game, obsessing over the quality of a given release, learning about the work that goes into a good restoration, being a stickler about packaging and extras. It’s a fun way to engage with art more intentionally, like a pop culture archeologist.

Dear Disney: If you want to last another century, lay off the legacy
Walt Disney Animation’s newest movie, Wish, is the culmination of the studio’s celebration of its own centennial. That project stretched throughout 2023, through projects like the short Once Upon a Studio, specialized merchandise drops centered around each decade the company has been around, and the rebrand of the iconic Disney castle logo. But Wish leans so hard on celebrating the better Disney films that came before it that it doesn’t have much identity of its own. It’s openly a nostalgia-fest, pretty much on par with the other ways the company celebrated its 100-year anniversary.
