Bungie Reveals Destiny 2: The Final Shape Details and Announces It's Replacing Seasonal Format

ign.com:

Bungie officially revealed the details for its upcoming Destiny 2 DLC The Final Shape today, the conclusion of its “Light and Darkness” saga that started all the way back in 2014. The Final Shape will debut on Feb. 27.

During today’s The Final Shape showcase event, Bungie unveiled more about the storyline of The Final Shape, which will focus heavily on The Traveler. The massive, mysterious, spherical entity has always been present in Destiny. The Final Shape, however, will take that a step further, with The Traveler asking for help as The Witness uses its light to do terrible things.

Players will explore a new destination called The Pale Heart, located inside The Traveler. Per Bungie, The Pale Heart “will feature nostalgic callbacks from throughout the history of the Light and Darkness Saga, including a version of the original Tower from Destiny. As the first linear destination in Destiny history, The Pale Heart will also gradually evolve.” (that nostalgia, it should be noted, it include a “mysteriously returned” Cayde-6.)

The Pale Heart will also feature a new enemy type called Subjugators, who are able to use Stasis and Strand powers. Additionally, The Final Shape will offer players three new Super abilities and Aspects – Void for Titans, Solar for Warlocks, and Arc for Hunters – as well as new exotic weapons, including the return of some classic weapons from Destiny 1.

The Final Shape will be available in three editions, all of which are now available for pre-order.

In addition to revealing more about The Final Shape, Bungie also delved into other aspects that will affect the future of Destiny 2 elsewhere. For one, it’s ditching its previous format of releasing four seasons per year in favor of episodes, which will begin
