Bungie has outlined several important fixes coming to Destiny 2 in the week following the launch of The Edge of Fate, with some fixes arriving as soon as July 18. The upcoming fixes and changes will address issues that Destiny 2 players have been experiencing in the past few days, including bugs that block progression in the campaign of The Edge of Fate.
Released on July 15, Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate brings players to Kepler, a new destination located on the outskirts of the solar system. The expansion serves as the start of the new multi-year Fate saga and introduces a new mystery involving the Nine, a new character named Lodi, and Orin the Lost, who fans once knew as the Emissary of the Nine. This is in addition to regular content updates and additions that Destiny 2 players typically expect with expansions, such as new activities, legendary weapons and gear, and Exotics, to name a few. However, the launch of Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate wasn't perfect, as players have been dealing with numerous bugs in the past few days, including some that prevent them from progressing the campaign.
