Bungie Limiting Support For Legacy Versions of Destiny
When Bungie first announced the new expansion for Destiny, Rise of Iron, they revealed that the DLC expansion would only be available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Players on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 would have to sit this particular piece of content out, despite being able to purchase and play every piece of previous DLC.
It now appears as if this is a trend that is set to continue into the future as the developer looks to be limiting support for “legacy” versions of the title. A support page on the official Bungie site explains how the two older consoles will no longer “receive major updates and content releases” and that only a few Destiny Events and Activities will be available to players on them. Most notably, the iron Banner, Trials of Osiris and Live Events will no longer be available while Xur will only provide engrams rather than weapons and armor when he appears in-game.
Meanwhile, the studio is remaining tight-lipped about the future of Destiny. Speaking in an interview with Destructoid, developer Scott Taylor was reluctant to speak about what type of support the original release would see between the release of Rise of Iron and Destiny 2.
“We’re still working on what the road map is for Destiny after September 20,” said Taylor. “We’re certainly going to be supporting the game. We’re still working on locking down what [the road map] looks like and then we’ll be excited to share [our plans] with the world.”
