Bungie seems to have 'accidentally' leaked a glimpse at Destiny 2's next subclass

I don't normally cover Destiny 2 leaks, but the timing of the latest one is so suspicious that I think it's worth a look.

Bungie is hosting a Destiny 2 livestream showcase on August 22 at which it will reveal more details about next year's The Final Shape expansion, which is set to tie up the Light and Dark saga that has been
