The first saga in Destiny’s universe is coming to an end with an epic battle between light and darkness. Destiny’s light and darkness saga has always been about The Traveler, a mysterious entity in the universe of Destiny that hangs motionless in the sky as a source of light for Destiny players. Now, The Traveler is asking Destiny 2 players for help, and it’s time to answer that call on February 27th.
A mysterious enemy, The Witness, has already entered The Traveler, and now, Destiny 2: The Final Shape players will have to venture inside to help defeat The Witness. What awaits inside is the Pale Heart, a first linear destination that’s unlike anything we’ve seen in Destiny during its nearly 10-year history.
Destiny 2 players will fight new enemies in The Final Shape, including the Subjugators that will throw both Stasis and Strand effects to slow and tangle you. But you’ll be able to fight back thanks to an array of new Arc, Solar, and Void supers.
The new Warlock super is all about solar powers and a call back to Radiance from the original Destiny. Casting rifts will even include a burst of solar energy. Titans are getting a void super that includes multiple void axes that can be thrown at enemies. Allies can even pick up the ax and wield it, and Titans can consume a grenade to turn it into a shield for attack. Hunters are getting a new Arc super, which is all about the Arc Staff.
