A significant leak has surfaced for Destiny 2’s next major expansion, Renegades, with its official launch trailer appearing early through a YouTube advertisement. This unexpected preview offers a tantalizing glimpse into new story cinematics, character appearances, and notably, spacecraft designs that draw heavy inspiration from the Star Wars universe. The full expansion is scheduled to release on December 2, marking the first time Bungie has directly incorporated thematic elements from another iconic sci-fi franchise.
The leaked promotional clip, titled “Destiny 2: Renegades | Launch Trailer | Pre-Order 15s [US],” briefly showcases content pulled directly from the complete launch trailer. Viewers are treated to a mix of pre-rendered cinematic sequences and actual gameplay footage. Familiar faces like Ikora Rey and Drifter make prominent appearances, with the latter sporting a distinctly aged look complete with a grey beard and a more weathered demeanor. Aunor Mahal is also featured, seen strapped into what appears to be a pilot’s chair, hinting at new narrative directions.
One of the most visually striking elements in the teaser is the introduction of space combat featuring ships with long, wedge-shaped hulls and a massive circular red core at the front, a design that will feel instantly familiar to fans of a certain galactic saga. Brief gameplay snippets highlight a Titan class character wielding the new Heirloom Solar Exotic Combat Bow, alongside a dramatic shot of an unusual orange energy wave engulfing a planetary surface reminiscent of Mars.
Beyond the cinematic reveals, the Renegades expansion promises substantial new content and systemic improvements. Players can anticipate a fresh campaign, the new Lawless Frontier activity, the introduction of Blasters and unique Renegades abilities, and a brand-new social space called the Tharsis Outpost. A new dungeon named Equilibrium is also confirmed for launch. Accompanying these additions is a suite of highly requested quality-of-life updates, including increased Vault storage capacity, the new Orders and Vanguard Alerts systems, and the removal of seasonal power resets.
Bungie has officially announced a developer livestream scheduled for next week, where the complete launch trailer will be formally unveiled. The stream will also feature a second ViDoc focusing specifically on Blasters and new Exotic gear. For those tuning in via Twitch with a linked Bungie.net account, watching for at least fifteen minutes will reward them with the exclusive “Seekers, Not Saints” emblem.
