Check out the launch trailer for Destiny 2: The Final Shape
Bungie have released the launch trailer for The Final Shape, the last (?) large expansion for Destiny 2 which launches on June 4th 2024. The previous expansion, Lightfall, was not particularly good but it does look like Bungie are going to knock it out of the park for the end game, for the first time in a very long time I am actually excited to play!

Your Super, melee, grenade, and Aspect slots will feature a selection of Light and Darkness abilities from all five damage types.

As part of this, some of the abilities we’ve chosen are ones that we think have been underused since their initial release and have exciting interactions with the rest of the roster. In many cases, we’ve adjusted how certain Aspects function to specifically enable these unique interactions.”
