If you’ve invested hundreds of hours into Destiny so far, you may be experiencing a mix of anticipation and apprehension over this year’s sequel to the online shooter. What will happen to your precious character and all of that hard-won gear?
Let’s get the bad news out of the way first: You won’t be able to carry over any of your gear, power, or items with you to Destiny 2 when it launches. The good news is that players will be able to import characters in to the sequel, as long as those characters have reached level 20 and done the Black Garden mission. There will also be some sort of “honors” awarded for accomplishments done in the first game.
“We believe this is the best path forward,” Bungie said. “It allows us to introduce the major advancements and improvements that all of us expect from a sequel, ensuring it will be the best game we can create, unencumbered by the past. We’re looking forward to sharing more details with you later this year for how we will honor your legacy in the future.”
The original Destiny is still slated for at least one more big update. Age of Triumph is coming later this month, with more details about the content involved arriving this week.
