Bungie has announced that the release date for Destiny 2: The Final Shape has been moved to June 4, 2024 to allow for an even bigger and bolder vision. This marks a four-month delay for the MMORPG shooter’s next big expansion, which was originally scheduled for release on February 27, 2024.
Here’s a summary of the new content that players will find in Destiny 2: The Finale Shape, including new features, gear, as well as a new campaign and destination:
In Destiny 2: The Final Shape, Guardians will confront oblivion in the form of their ultimate adversary –The Witness – alongside their iconic Vanguard companions: Ikora Rey, Commander Zavala, and the mysteriously returned Cayde-6. Players will embark on a perilous journey of remembrance and discovery into the heart of the Traveler, rally the Vanguard, and end the War of Light and Darkness. The story of this final confrontation will be told throughout the course of The Final Shape’s campaign, as well as in the new raid that will launch in March 2024.
Accompanying the launch of the raid will be a new World First Race, beginning the day of the raid’s launch. Fireteams around the world will compete to be the first six-Guardian team to fully complete the new raid.
During the campaign of The Final Shape, Guardians will explore a mysterious new destination – The Pale Heart, located inside the Traveler. Shaped by The Witness but also influenced by the history and journey of the Guardians themselves, The Pale Heart destination will feature nostalgic callbacks from throughout the history of the Light and Darkness Saga, including a version of the original Tower from Destiny. As the first linear destination in Destiny history, The Pale Heart will also gradually evolve.
And here are the new Supers and Aspects that Destiny 2: The Finale Shape will offer players:
The new Supers:
- Titan (Void): Twilight Arsenal
- Throw three Void axes that pull enemies in and explode, dealing heavy damage and weakening anything left standing.
- Thrown axes can be picked up and wielded by the Titan and their fireteam as melee weapons.
- Hunter (Arc): Storm’s Edge
- Hurl an Arc dagger that teleports the Hunter forward, where they perform a deadly whirlwind strike as they materialize for massive damage.
- This can be executed three times per Super charge, allowing the Hunter to traverse vast distance and devastate enemies in their wake.
- Warlock (Solar): Song of Flame
- Warlocks become radiant, overcharge their melee ability, and their grenade becomes a sentient Spirit of Flame that seeks out nearby enemies and explodes.
- Allies gain increased ability regeneration and damage resistance, with scorch applied to their Solar and Kinetic weapons.
The new Aspects:
- Titan (Void): Unbreakable
- Consume a grenade to create a shield that blocks incoming damage and absorbs attacks, which then can be released to deal massive damage.
- Hunter (Arc): Ascension
- While airborne, Hunters can consume their class ability and propel themselves upwards to damage and jolt nearby enemies, while also amplifying their fireteam.
- Warlock (Solar): Hellion
- Warlocks can activate their class ability to summon a Solar Soul that launches flaming mortars at distant foes, setting them ablaze.
The standard version of Destiny 2: The Final Shape is currently available to pre-order for $49.99, while a version that also includes the Annual Pass is available for $99.99.
