Destiny 2: The Final Shape Detailed for February 2024 Launch; Season of the Witch Out Now

wccftech.com:

During yesterday's annual showcase event, Bungie unveiled Destiny 2: The Final Shape. The new expansion for the online first-person shooter game is due for release on February 27th, 2024.

In its campaign, players can expect to face off with what was described as the ultimate foe: The Witness. They'll have the help of Destiny 2's iconic Vanguard companions to do so: Ikora Rey, Commander Zavala (now voiced by Keith David following the untimely passing of Lance Reddick, for whom Bungie observed a minute of silence during the stream), and even the supposedly dead Cayde-6 are returning for the occasion.

The story will take players to The Pale Heart, a mysterious location inside the Traveler. Bungie said it'd include callbacks to pivotal moments in the Light and Darkness saga, such as a new version of the original Tower from the first Destiny game. This final showdown will be told in Destiny 2: The Final Shape and in the new raid that will debut in March 2024.

This will coincide with the debut of a new seasonal model called Episodes, the first of which, Echoes, will deliver the aforementioned raid. There are currently three episodes planned for Destiny 2: The Final Shape; the other two are titled Revenant and Heresy. With Episodes, Bungie aims to add more content and rewards more often than with the previous Seasons.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape will provide players with three new Super abilities and Aspects (Void for Titans, Solar for Warlocks, and Arc for Hunters). The game's weapon arsenal is also set to expand with additions such as a new subfamily that includes the Rocket Pistol Sidearm and a Support Frame Auto Rifle that deals damage while simultaneously healing allies. Some classic weapons are returning from the original
