The Destiny 2 gaming community has received a lot of news lately that not only expands the game world, but also brings new elements to the game. In this text, we'll look at details about the latest expansion of The Final Shape and the upcoming collaboration with the Star Wars franchise.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape

Destiny 2: The Final Shape is the latest expansion in the series, representing an epilogue to the story of Light and Darkness. This expansion balances between a compelling story and expertly paced combat and puzzles, all set in amazing environments. According to Bungie, more than 70% of players report improved gameplay with the release of this expansion.

  • The Final Shape's storyline involves fighting The Witness, who threatens the end of the world with The Final Shape, a powerful moment frozen in time.
  • The gameplay of a combination of battles and puzzles keeps the player in suspense. Mini-stage segments, where the player teleports to clear puzzles before fighting a boss with a superweapon, are an unexpected treat - especially those where rising lava or toxic air forces the player to work under time pressure.
  • The new Prismatic subclass and Transcend ability are the star of the show. Transcend allows the player to break certain enemy shields and use abilities from all domains.

Collaboration with Star Wars

Bungie recently announced a collaboration with the Star Wars franchise. This isn't the first crossover in the series, but it's certainly the most anticipated.Destiny 2 Guardians will get different sets of transformations (Armadur) depending on their class: Titans will be able to don the form of a stormtrooper or a 'stormtrooper', hunters will look like death soldiers or a 'deathtrooper', and mages will don the uniform of the Emperor's royal guard.

  • The iconic Destiny 2 Spectrum will feature a DS-2 body clearly inspired by the Death Star, and cover art hints at a ship based on the TIE-Interceptor.
  • All these innovations will become available in the space looter shooter from February 4, in parallel with all the news from D2: Heresy.

D2 News: Heresy

D2: Heresy features a new batch of content that brings us back to Akorazad Orikasa, the beloved villain of The Taken King (2015). Players will be able to participate in new activities, including a new mazorru, and experience a new story featuring Eris Morn and Sloane.

This content will be the last in the first major narrative arc of the game, and in the coming months we will see a restart of the narrative flow with completely new themes, environments and mechanics. It will essentially be something like Destiny 3 in the near future.

In conclusion, Destiny 2 continues to surprise and expand its game world. The Final Shape and the upcoming collaboration with Star Wars are just the beginning of a new era for the series.

Interesting facts:

  • Destiny 2 is known for its crossovers with other successful franchises such as Fortnite, Street Fighter, The Witcher and Assassin's Creed.
  • This collaboration with Star Wars is a first in the series, but not the first in the science fiction genre, as Destiny 2 previously collaborated with Mass Effect.

Expert quotes:

According to Dave Lochrie, senior producer at Bungie: “We try to bring uniqueness to every collaboration, and Star Wars is exactly the world that fits perfectly into our universe.”
