The End of Destiny 2: Looking Back on the First Ten Years
As Destiny 2 approaches the end of its first ten years, players are reflecting on the story of the Traveler’s Light and the Darkness that has been the driving force behind the entire series. With the upcoming release of The Final Shape, players are taking stock of the game’s journey and looking back on the events that have led to this point.
A recent pair of posts on Twitter sparked a discussion about the evolution of Destiny’s storyline. One post suggested that Savathun is the better villain than The Witness, while another pondered the emptiness of the fleet of Pyramid ships that arrived in the game.
The arrival of the Pyramid ships was a highly anticipated event in Destiny 2, and players were eager to see what new enemies and challenges would emerge from them. However, as time passed, it became apparent that the Pyramids were not the source of a new system-invading force, but rather paracausal objects with minimal substance.
The disappointment surrounding the lack of new enemies from the Pyramids has led to a feeling of hollowness in the game’s narrative. Players are left facing familiar enemies, puppeted by The Witness, a villain that lacks the depth and development of previous adversaries.
Looking ahead, players are hopeful that Destiny 2 will introduce a full new race of enemies to fight. The absence of a truly new enemy race has been a turning point in the game’s story, and players are eager for a fresh and engaging challenge as the series moves forward.
As Destiny 2 enters this new phase, players are reflecting on the past ten years of the game’s evolution and eagerly anticipating what the future holds for the franchise. The release of The Final Shape marks the end of an era for Destiny 2, but also the beginning of a new chapter in its ongoing saga.
