Four years back when Destiny 2 was released in 2017, there were a lot of expectations from Bungie, the game developer for it’s new venture. The reason being the huge community of players that the original destiny had gathered. Initially, however, the game had a bumpy ride. The players expected for the tying up of the loose ends from the original destiny. But instead the brief campaign mode created different storylines, with a lot more loose ends. The game nonetheless found a fair number of players. However, the developers kept on their good work and finally after the game was made free to play in 2019, the players soared. The developers also did a great job in engaging the players, by providing regular updates and expansions. The expansions were praised all over the playing community, especially the latest one beyond light, which was released under the troublesome pandemic situation. Here we take a look on where the game stands in 2021. Read on to find out How Many People Like to Play Destiny 2 in 2021.
Destiny 2, Is it still going strong ?
