Bungie will freely return vaulted content it previously stripped from Destiny 2, but is unlikely to include everything fans were once able to play.

That's according to a Forbes report that details exactly what players should (and shouldn't) expect to be returned to Destiny 2 over the coming months, following Bungie's surprise announcement that it will dust off Destiny 2 content it controversially removed.

At the time, Bungie argued that Destiny 2 was becoming too big and too unwieldy, and argued that the game's original campaign and even its popular Forspoken expansion were acting as a barrier or confusing relic for newer players it was trying to tempt in with fresh additions.

But day-one players revolted over the move to cull existing content — such as story levels, multiplayer strike missions and raids — that they had paid for. Others simply bemoaned the fact that this content had been deleted rather than somehow preserved, and made unreachable for those who simply wanted to revisit it out of nostalgia.

Of course, all of that has now changed, as Bungie attempts to stabilize itself following devastating job losses and the decision to end Destiny 2's live-service updates. These have prompted loud and ongoing calls for PlayStation to greenlight Destiny 3, as player apathy to Marathon continues.

As you might expect, Bungie reportedly has no plans to charge for access to content it returns to Destiny 2. This makes sense as many players have already paid for access to this content (via the base game, or Forspoken), while those who joined Destiny 2 in its free-to-play era got to play most of it for free already.
