Destiny 2 developer Bungie has revealed that the sci-fi shooter's upcoming annual pass will provide gamers with new locations to explore, although they won't be full-fledged planets.

Speaking with Polygon during a Q&A session at Bungie Towers, Steve Cotton and Scott Taylor, who serve as game director and project lead on Destiny 2: Forsaken, respectively, clarified how the new add-ons will work in terms of new areas to explore.

'We’re going to have new places to check out,' revealed Taylor. 'Sorry, I should be specific. What we call ‘bubbles’ or new spaces; I’m not saying new planets.'

Cotton then chimed in and confirmed that no new planets will be added over the next year for Destiny 2.

Still, there's plenty of content in the pipeline for the Engram-farming-'em-up. The three add-ons, Black Armoury, Joker's Wild, and Penumbra, offer a heap of new activities, weapons, and quality-of-life changes, and will keep you (hopefully) plugging away at Destiny 2 until summer 2019.

Destiny 2: Forsaken is out for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One today. Spare a thought for Cayde-6 though, who is officially no more with this expansion.

Don't forget that PS4 Forsaken owners will get a bunch of exclusive content too, including a new Strike.
