Bungie to Bring Back Destiny 2 Campaigns: What It Means for Players

In October 2026, Bungie confirmed it is working on bringing back Destiny 2 campaigns and other content that was previously removed from the game — the so-called 'unvaulting'. The studio hasn't revealed exact timing or the full list of returning content yet, promising first details soon. This matters for players who access Destiny 2 through subscriptions or buy expansions: the return of content could change the structure of paid access.

What's coming back and when

Bungie first announced plans to 'unvault' content last month but gave no specifics or timeline. Now the studio confirms that first details will arrive 'soon'. It's still unclear whether the returning content will be free for all players or require purchasing expansions. That's a key point for planning your gaming budget.

How it affects payments

Destiny 2 is distributed via Steam, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, and Epic Games Store. If the returning campaigns are bundled into existing paid expansions or season passes, players in countries with restrictions on paying foreign services will need ways to top up their wallets. Virtual Visa/Mastercard cards issued by foreign providers help pay for subscriptions and purchases in these stores. Note: whether a specific store accepts a foreign-issued card depends on your account region and the platform's payment policy.

Step by step: paying for Destiny 2 with a virtual card

• Make sure your Steam/PlayStation/Xbox/Epic Games account is registered in a region where international cards are accepted.
• Issue a virtual card in the required currency (USD or EUR) and top up with a 10–15% buffer above the purchase price to cover conversion fees.
• In the store's payment section, select 'Add card' and enter your virtual card details.
• Confirm the payment. If the store requires address verification, use details matching your account region.

Common declines: mismatch between card and account regions, insufficient balance considering holds, or store blocks due to frequent payment detail changes. In such cases, contact the store's support and check your card settings.

What to do now

Until Bungie shares official details, don't buy expansions 'for the future' — the returning content may be distributed differently. Keep an eye on the studio's announcements and review your subscription terms. If you plan to pay for game purchases from a country where local bank cards aren't accepted in foreign stores, prepare a virtual card with sufficient balance in advance.
