Destiny 2 players are urging Bungie to adopt a different storytelling approach for the highly anticipated Final Shape DLC following their disappointment with the previous expansion's style.There is a prevailing sentiment among fans that The Final Shape should present a comprehensive exposition of the storyline from the outset and deliver a definitive conclusion to the ongoing Light and Darkness saga.
Speculation is mounting about the Vex taking on a central role as the main adversaries in the future of Destiny 2, given that their origins and intentions remain shrouded in mystery.
With the highly anticipated Final Shape DLC on the horizon, Destiny 2 players are calling upon Bungie to explore a new narrative path. This expansion, set to release next year, aims to bring closure to the ongoing Light and Darkness saga in Destiny 2.
Content-wise, Bungie attempted a different strategy for lore progression through Lightfall. The subsequent seasons would gradually uncover details regarding the DLC's campaign, resulting in unanswered questions within the expansion's primary narrative. Bungie has to some extent fulfilled their promise of clarifying aspects like the origins of The Witness in Destiny 2 and the purpose of The Veil. However, this alteration in Lightfall's storytelling style received negative feedback from fans, as evidenced by the "Mostly Negative" reviews on Steam. Consequently, the community has urged Bungie to modify their storytelling approach for The Final Shape.
A Reddit user, linkenski, expressed their opinion through an extensive post advocating for Bungie to conclude the Light and Darkness saga with The Final Shape's campaign. They emphasized that since the approach utilized in Lightfall was unsuccessful and did not satisfy the community, The Final Shape should provide a comprehensive explanation of the entire plot without leaving anything to the imagination. Moreover, they pointed out that Bungie has an exceedingly unique opportunity to reveal the entirety of Destiny 2's story with this expansion.
Many fans agreed with and acknowledged the validity of the post proposing that Bungie should take this direction with the Destiny 2 story. The prolonged existence of the Light and Darkness saga since Destiny 1 has left numerous unanswered questions, which is why fans are eager for this change. Moreover, there are unresolved elements within the story that create uncertainty for the future, and players believe it is crucial to have a conclusive ending that pays homage to the lore and doesn't leave fans with more unanswered inquiries.
Regarding the game's future after The Final Shape DLC, Bungie has subtly suggested that the Vex may become the primary antagonists in Destiny 2. The Vex, being highly intricate entities, still have undisclosed origins and motivations within the Destiny 2 universe. However, the developers have conveyed that the Vex have temporarily receded and will likely reappear once the ultimate victor between the Traveler and The Witness is determined.
Destiny 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
