Destiny 2: The Final Shape reveals cool big triangle (also resurrection of Nathan Fillion)
Mere hours after I said "even a return to Titan can't bring me back to Destiny 2," Bungie revealed something that might just do it: a really big, weird triangle. During last night's PlayStation Showcase, they showed a first trailer for The Final Shape, the upcoming expansion which will end the MMOFPS's decade-long main story arc, and a very good big triangle is involved. Oh, also fan-favourite character Cayde-6 is back, voiced again by Nathan Fillion. But you need to see this big triangle.
That's a great triangle, isn't it? Destiny is a masterclass is big weird sci-fantasy vistas, from the Dreaming City to the Garden Of Salvation (where I couldn't help holding up raids while I took holiday photos). A lush valley with an ominous big triangle feels tailor-made to win over me specifically. Ah god damn it. And I do want to know how Bungie wrap up the current 'Light & Darkness Saga' before moving onto stories new. That's a lot of story threads to pull together, a lot of setup aching for a payoff. Ugh. Maybe I'll take a little look when The Final Shape arrives in 2024. Just a little look. At the big triangle. Nothing else.
Bungie are very good at cool big shapes. The Traveller, our big magical ball friend, there's another. Those Darkness pyramids, lovely. A nice Halo ringworld. And their reboot of Marathon as a PvP extraction shooter, announced last night, has a cool mystery shape too.
Oh, yeah, also, I guess Cayde-6 is back in some form in The Final Shape. That's noteworthy. He's supposed to be dead. Maybe he still is? It's not clear what's going on here, nor where 'here' is.
Wisecracking roboman Cayde-6 died during the opening mission of Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion, killed with his own gun by haunted weirdo Uldren Sov.
