Bungie has confirmed that Destiny 2 will feature a dedicated clans system that allows players to interact with their fellow teammates.
Bungie’s Community Manager, David Dague, explained that the studio is now offering incentives for joining clans, as well as rewarding players for completing objectives as a team.
“You’ll find that being a member of a clan is extremely beneficial. Every member of your clan will earn rewards as you do things and the more you do things the more they will be rewarded. One of the obstacles to the “doin” is getting six people together to do…You’ll understand the clan progression and the clan rewards system when you play. I’ll leave that to the social designers to break to you in the game.”
“The fact that clans are more accessible in the game – You know, we used to give people free real estate in our community, on our website, in the Destiny Companion. Somebody who wants to become a digital warlord could go in and say “I’m starting my clan. I’m inviting people to come in.” Now that experience can exist away from the second screen and they can, inside of the game, facilitate recruitment.”
The original Destiny featured the ability to join a clan although there was little incentive to do so beyond viewing your fellow teammates in a separate roster.
Bungie hasn’t yet confirmed exactly what clan rewards will be featured in Destiny 2, although there’s a Milestone tab that tracks player activities, each of which features carry a potential reward upon completion.
Destiny 2 is scheduled for release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 6, 2017, with a PC version arriving in October. Sony and Activision will be releasing a new PS4 bundle to coincide with the game’s release this fall, as well as a Destiny 2-themed DualShock 4.
