Bungie says it’s ‘not done with Destiny’ and will bring back vaulted content
Bungie 表示“不会放弃《命运》”,并将带回被封存的内容
Bungie is reversing its controversial content vault that saw Destiny 2 content removed six years ago. Bungie 正在撤销其备受争议的“内容库”(Content Vault)政策,该政策曾导致《命运 2》在六年前删除了大量游戏内容。
Months after seemingly giving up on Destiny 2, Bungie now says it’s planning to restore vaulted content in the game like campaigns, destinations, and raids. The decision reverses the Destiny Content Vault that Bungie created six years ago, controversially removing older content from Destiny 2 that players had paid to access. 在看似放弃《命运 2》数月后,Bungie 现在表示计划恢复游戏中被封存的内容,例如战役、目的地和突袭任务。这一决定推翻了 Bungie 六年前创建的“命运内容库”,该库曾因移除玩家付费购买的旧内容而引发巨大争议。
“We understand that removing these experiences had a lasting impact on player trust and enjoyment of Destiny,” admits Bungie. “We cannot change the decision we made, but we can acknowledge its impact and do the work to make it right by restoring these important parts of Destiny’s history.” “我们明白,移除这些体验对玩家的信任以及对《命运》的享受产生了持久的影响,”Bungie 承认道。“我们无法改变曾经做出的决定,但我们可以承认其影响,并通过恢复《命运》历史中这些重要的部分来弥补过失。”
All Destiny 2 players will get access to the vaulted content, but it’s not a simple switch of a button for Bungie. The developer made big changes to Destiny 2 with the Beyond Light expansion, meaning it has to go back and update lighting, encounters, combatants, and other underlying systems for this older content. “That work will take time, but it is necessary to ensure returning content meets the stability and gameplay standards of Destiny 2 today,” says Bungie. 所有《命运 2》玩家都将能够访问这些被封存的内容,但这对于 Bungie 来说并非按下按钮那么简单。开发商在《凌光之刻》(Beyond Light)资料片中对《命运 2》进行了重大改动,这意味着他们必须回过头来,为这些旧内容更新光影、遭遇战、战斗人员以及其他底层系统。Bungie 表示:“这项工作需要时间,但为了确保回归的内容符合当今《命运 2》的稳定性和游戏标准,这是必要的。”
The decision to return this content to Destiny 2 comes just weeks after a “Sunrise” Destiny 2 offline preservation mod appeared. The mod lets players access older areas in Destiny 2 that had been vaulted, but not the exact campaigns and missions that players had experienced previously. 在决定将这些内容带回《命运 2》的几周前,一款名为“Sunrise”的《命运 2》离线保存模组刚刚出现。该模组允许玩家进入《命运 2》中已被封存的旧区域,但无法重现玩家此前体验过的完整战役和任务。
Bungie now says its own restoration project is the “first step to lay the foundation for how we reforge into new stories and games that you all deserve.” Could that be a Destiny 3 sequel? There’s no mention of such a project, despite fans desperately pleading for a successor to Destiny 2 in multiple high-profile Twitch streams in recent weeks. Bungie is only committing to building a “stronger long-term future for Destiny” right now. Bungie 现在表示,其自身的修复项目是“为我们重塑你们应得的新故事和新游戏奠定基础的第一步”。这会是《命运 3》续作吗?目前没有任何关于此类项目的提及,尽管粉丝们在最近几周的多个高人气 Twitch 直播中迫切呼吁《命运 2》的继任者。Bungie 目前仅承诺为《命运》打造一个“更强大的长期未来”。
Alongside the Destiny 2 efforts, Bungie is also admitting that Marathon, its extraction shooter, didn’t “reach as many players as we had hoped, and we also know and understand that the game needs to evolve.” That means Marathon will expand deeper into a survival experience. The changes are a little vague right now, but it sounds like Marathon really needs to change and attract more players if it’s to be a sustainable project for Bungie. 除了《命运 2》的相关工作外,Bungie 还承认其撤离射击游戏《马拉松》(Marathon)“没有达到我们预期的玩家数量,我们也知道并理解这款游戏需要进化。”这意味着《马拉松》将向生存体验方向进行更深度的扩展。目前的改动细节尚不明确,但听起来《马拉松》确实需要做出改变并吸引更多玩家,才能成为 Bungie 一个可持续的项目。
