This is not news for those following the game.
The current season is basically tracking the big bad Darkness pyramid ships finally coming to the game.
An in-game cinematic will be released this week or next (it’s already online if you look) of the Pyramids being close to Saturn and in our solar system. Current popular rumor is that the Titan patrol zone will be nuked from the game this summer in effort to free up game space for the fall.
Now what is the fall?
When Activision was still around, the original leaks, many of which from before Forsaken’s release all ended up being true... with that said... D3 was being planned for next gen launch and was said to feature new subclasses, two new patrol zones (Europa and the interior of a flagship pyramid ship as an end-game zone like the Dreaming city). 100 million dollars later and having bought out of their contract with Activision ...plans changed big time.
Bungie has officially tweeted that D2 will support next gen consoles. That means faster load times thanks to SSD (and console versions need it!), true 4K 60 on both consoles and increased FOV. Background quality of life adjustments have begun facilitating some of these things now (being able to recolor cross-hairs etc.)
If you follow the end-game cinematic of the Vanilla D2 you can see how things changed. We weren’t supposed to go to the moon... a return to the Dreadnaught was supposed to up next but that has changed.
Essentially Shadowkeep and Year 3 has been a skeleton year as the last two years of D3 development has been moved into D2. There may not be a D3 for a number of years. Currently we know that Bungie wants to be a multi-IP developer and publisher by 2025 which includes Destiny and Matter for the time being.
We’re looking at what should be a full-sized game expansion. Our current weapons are being power capped for the 3rd time in the series’ history to make room for large amounts of new loot.
If you want to know what Europa, the interior of the Pyramid ships, and even a look at Darkness enemy units... it’s all been available since D1 pre production. Essentially Destiny has begun to realize its original design concepts in many ways. Nice to see nothing really got left on the table... not even the narrative of us being the villains of the universe (which is has been A smaller part of the narrative these last two years
We should be getting a reveal for the summer season within weeks or days. I expect that to be an even bigger tease for the fall. Fall expansion trailer should come days later at Geoff Keighley’s summer games fest event.
