If you're a Destiny refugee, the most obvious answer is Warframe, which just keeps on getting better and better.
Does it have multiplayer or is it single player only? Destiny 2 was only really playable because I had a community/clan that I played with actively for the social aspect of it. Horribly boring playing it solo
Warframe is a bit similar to Destiny in that it's built around multiplayer, but most of the main content can be solo'd if you wanted. But that said, the Warframe community is still thriving, so it should be pretty easy to find a group to play with if you want to avoid the in-game matchmaking.
The core story content is single player only. The rest is multiplayer, but unlike Destiny there's nothing that requires you to form your own group outside of the game, and all the gameplay is designed in such a way that you really don't need to communicate. You can basically just turn on public matchmaking and get a bunch of humans who might as well be bots for all you'll have to actually interact with them.
You can play all the content solo if you want to, but the difficulty might get a bit much, especially starting out (there are also certain game modes / mission types that really lean on having a full group).
You'll almost always end up doing missions with other people other than when you intentionally want to do certain tasks solo.
A lot of the game is built around guilds and player to player interactions.
PvP sucks and it's almost all PvE content vs Destiny though.
For a while that was true. But that entire design direction has basically been abandoned. Clans are more or less a vestigial organ at this point. Literally the only interaction I have ever had with a member of my clan was when I asked for an invite.
In many cases yes (though I've been in good ones when playing off and on, usually the smaller the more there's actual group activities).
But they are essential to be a part of for blueprints and trading, which are very core parts of the game.
Sure, but again the amount of actual player to player interaction involved in that is minimal. Like I said, I'm in a clan, and outside of obtaining my initial invite (which basically went "Clan plz" in chat followed by clicking accept) I've had literally zero social interaction with my current clan. Trading has been effectively automated by Warframe market. You copy and paste something into chat, and the rest of the interaction consists of a pro forma exchange of "ty"s. Also, you don't actually need a clan to trade, because anyone you're trading with will inevitably invite you to theirs, so they're only really important when selling.
This is absolutely nothing like the way that raiding and guilds are core to World of Warcraft. Clans play an almost purely mechanical role in Warframe, they're not remotely the same thing, and do not have remotely the same requirement of social interaction.
There are a few sections restricted to solo only, but it's not the default, the matchmaking is pretty quick for a random group and there's a variety of people always looking to form groups for different tasks. One word of warning, people move fast, until you get parkour down, you might just end up running from the start to end of a level if you join groups, they'll have completed the objectives and be waiting for you to extract.
Clans exist, and each have their own space station called a dojo that's customized by them (cost is based on size of the clan, as a solo I was able to build up and level a clan on my own).
