Exclusive: Mind-Blowing Guardian Abilities Unveiled in Leaked Destiny 2 Info!

A new development video has surfaced, leaked by Destiny 2 insiders, showcasing the upcoming Darkness abilities for Guardians. Although the presentation is modest, it provides strong evidence for the nature of the next set of abilities, creating a buzz of speculation within the community.

Interestingly, this leaked ability holds similarities to the previous leak of Destiny 2's Strand abilities. In that instance, a video shared by one of Bungie's artists unintentionally hinted at an entirely new form of spellcasting, long before its official announcement. While the source of the current leaked video remains unknown, its authenticity is considered plausible, adding weight to its significance in the larger picture.

Though the Destiny 2 community has long suspected that the third and possibly final set of Darkness abilities would be red in color, this speculation has gained credibility with the recent leak of a gameplay video. Reddit user Nimbus9002 shared the video, showcasing one of the game's Transmat effects, specifically a burst of Methane inspired by the Season of the Deep. What's noteworthy in this presentation is the work-in-progress in-game HUD, where the ability highlight stands out in a distinctly red color, unlike anything seen in the game before. Bungie has always been diligent in making sure Guardian abilities are distinct, and this vibrant red hue is a new addition to the repertoire.

The Solar abilities in Destiny 2 have always been orange, not red. Currently, there are no red abilities in the live version of Destiny. This suggests that Bungie is working on the third and final set of Guardian Darkness abilities, which may be released as part of the upcoming Final Shape DLC. The community acknowledges that many players are tired of Destiny 2, so Bungie may be using the anticipation of new abilities to create excitement for The Final Shape in 2024. The red abilities were not intended to be showcased in the mid-development demo, so they will likely remain a mystery until the next significant gameplay event or later.

The noteworthy aspect here is that the leaked abilities are unlikely to be included in Destiny 2's Season 22, as they will be kept secret until The Final Shape is released. However, there are plans to introduce the red Darkness abilities even after The Final Shape, indicating their unofficial confirmation to be added in the future.

Destiny 2 is currently accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
