Sure, here we go.
Oh man, where do I start with this? So, Guardians, right? Always off gallivanting through space, finding new nooks and crannies in the universe, getting themselves into all sorts of messes. Today was a big day. Bungie—those crafty game wizards behind Destiny 2—just dropped a major bombshell about the game’s upcoming saga. New stuff. Fresh adventures. And a whole heap of cosmic shenanigans.
So, picture this. There’s this reveal event, yeah? The Year of Prophecy was the headliner. It’s like being invited to peek behind the curtain. What’s on the menu, you ask? Two mega expansions—The Edge of Fate on July 15 and Renegades on December 2. These aren’t just tiny DLCs, folks. We’re talking about a whole new saga. It’s like they’re saying, “You think you know Destiny? Think again!” Players old and new, buckle up. Pre-orders are basically begging you to give in.
Wait, am I rambling? Anyway, let’s reel it back in. What’s fresh? Oh, right—the Nine. Such mysterious celestial something-or-anothers. I don’t totally get them either, but man, they’re fascinating. The Edge of Fate kicks off this saga with questions like, “What is fate?” or “Who else is out there?” Cue the dramatic music.
So, there’s this quote that stuck out. Robbie Stevens, game director or something, said, “Before the Traveler ever arrived… there was already magic here.” What even is that, right? But it sounds cool. Plus, there’s this whole thing with the Nine. They’ve been lurking (creepily?) in Destiny’s shadows forever, and now they’re stepping into the spotlight. Finally, am I right?
And then there’s the planetoid of Kepler or something—again, out on the solar system’s edge. Sounds like a mysterious asteroid party. Alison Luhrs, narrative director, chimed in with, “We got inspiration from stuff like Dreaming City, dungeons, and Metroidvanias.” Word salad… or is it? Expect exploration, puzzles, and new abilities like Matterspark. It lets you become a rolling shock ball. Because why not? Void-focused Relocator Cannon and Mattermorph are also in there. Just imagine mad scientist gadgets.
Hang on—did I mention the new Solo Ops playlist? For the lone wolves. Or maybe just busy bees without hours to spare. Either way, it’s the “have-your-cake-and-eat-it” mode for solo players. Also, check out Lodi, this new character they slid into the mix. But seriously, watch the replay event if you want the nitty-gritty, because I’m only scratching the surface here.
Oh, but here’s the kicker—before all this shiny newness, Rite of the Nine is dropping. It’s like a taste test… with dungeons. Yeah, and if you’re a glutton for punishment, there’s a solo Explore mode. Brave the depths, and you get these fancy Holofoil guns with a Nine theme. Feels like dessert before dinner, don’t you think?
Anyway—until next time, Guardians. Keep the cosmos spinning.
