Destiny 2: The Final Shape brings a decade-long conflict to a climax as players confront the Witness inside the Traveler and answer lingering questions from the last decade.
In the Light and Darkness Saga's finale, players embark on a journey through a portal crafted by the Witness, guided by Cayde-6. This expansion presents a distorted rendition of familiar places, providing a reflection of players' progress and offering answers to significant inquiries about the Destiny universe.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape is the long-awaited culmination of a decade-long conflict between the Witness and the Traveler. In this showdown, players will delve into the depths of the Traveler itself to confront the Witness and find answers to the questions that have haunted them for years.
Throughout the Light and Darkness Saga, the eternal struggle between the Witness and the Traveler has driven guardians to explore new worlds and face godlike beings in order to protect humanity. However, if players hope to emerge victorious, Bungie will challenge them to go beyond anything the game's universe has revealed thus far.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape marks the conclusion of the Light and Darkness Saga, but it is only the beginning of the larger Destiny universe. Guardians will venture through a portal created by the Witness during the events of Lightfall, finally confronting this dark entity once and for all. Serving as guides in this strange new world beyond the portal will be the beloved character Cayde-6, returning to assist guardians on their journey.
Players were given their first glimpse of what awaits them in The Final Shape during the latest Destiny 2 Showcase. From the Witness' ultimate plan to the formidable gear that can be brought to the fight, everything was unveiled. However, the most astounding revelation from the showcase was that the expansion will transport players deep inside the Traveler itself for the ultimate showdown with its age-old enemy. Bungie has described this inner world of the Traveler as a distorted reflection of players' own journey so far, beginning from the original Tower. Now, this once familiar place is being twisted and shaped by the relentless efforts of the Witness to achieve its final objective.
Bungie hinted that the expansion's storyline will address significant questions and bring together ten years of gameplay. While they didn't provide specific details, players can speculate about various potential topics, including the true origins of the Traveler and the role of other races in the future of the universe.
During the showcase, Bungie emphasized their goal of providing a satisfying conclusion to the ten-year story while paving the way for the future of the universe. Players may argue that this is why the interior of the Traveler will feature modified versions of past locations, such as the original Tower from Destiny. The secrets and hidden locations within the Traveler will remain a mystery until February 2024.
Destiny 2 is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
