![]() ![]() ![]() I can’t wait to see what’s next.All it took was a crane, and I was in. The fact that “Shadowkeep” would go ahead and introduce them, even just briefly like this, is a huge deal. ![]() This is, after all, the true main antagonist group of the “Destiny” franchise. Is it somehow a rogue operator? Is it just stalling for time? Whatever it is, it can’t be good. But we don’t know what this pyramid is trying to accomplish in the meantime. We know the other pyramid ships are on their way, as we saw at the end of the Red War campaign when “Destiny 2” was first released. ![]() We don’t know what the Garden of Salvation raid will involve, but now we know that it’s a direct continuation of the story that “Shadowkeep” began, and that story will continue as the Season of the Undying activities will start up after the first fireteam in the world completes the raid for the first time.įor the moment, the big question is what the Deep is actually trying to do with us. On Saturday, the story will continue with the Garden of Salvation raid, which will see teams of guardians enter the Black Garden and fight against hordes of Vex. That message is cryptic and we don’t know specifically what it means just yet - and we’re not supposed to, because we’ll find that out later. And soon we will answer,” your Darkness-powered doppelganger says. And the location of the final mission in the original “Destiny” story campaign way back in 2014, in which we destroyed some nebulous Darkness entity called the Black Heart. The Darkness, it appears, is trying to court us, as it did them, teasing us with the promise of power.Īlso Read: 'The Witcher' Teaser: Henry Cavill's Geralt Is All About Monsters, Money and Massive Swords (Video)Īnd you had that conversation in the Black Garden, better known as the birthplace of the Vex. This is something only a very small number of characters have ever done that we know of - Oryx and Calus being the big ones. You “communed with the Deep,” as ole Oryx might describe it. Because obviously you aren’t really talking to yourself. This scene is actually an incredibly momentous situation in the “Destiny” universe. You can watch that whole thing here if you want to refresh yourself. You fight a series of nightmares - Ghaul, Fikrul, Crota - and then… you have a conversation with yourself on a grassy platform full of flowers. The final mission sees you enter the mysterious black pyramid inside the moon. So when you get to the end of the story missions and it feels like it ends on a huge cliffhanger, that’s because it is a huge cliffhanger. What we have with “Shadowkeep” is not meant to be a conclusion - it’s just the beginning of a large story arc that will be told over time. It’s kinda like if when the “Taken King” expansion for the first “Destiny” just saw the beginning of Oryx’s invasion of our solar system, and we didn’t kill him until a year later after having fought in the Taken War via a series of seasonal events. Instead, it’s basically a prologue to whatever is going to happen over the course of the next year. Okay, so I should note first that “Shadowkeep” is not a complete story on its own, and it isn’t intended to be. So let’s dive in and think about it.Īlso Read: Here's What the Hell Happened at the End of 'Destiny 2: Forsaken' And with the way Bungie is developing the game these days, we should actually find out more about what it means very soon. We don’t understand all the implications yet, but we have a general idea about what we all just experienced. And with “Destiny 2: Shadowkeep” that difficulty is multiplied because there’s still a lot of context we don’t have - because what we have of this expansion so far is just the beginning of a new epic chapter that will last through the next year.īut it’s to Bungie’s credit, I think, that it’s built a foundation deep enough that there is always an answer when something crazy like the “Shadowkeep” ending happens. It’s not always easy to fully digest the story being told in the “Destiny” games, because the main missions and cutscenes only give you part of the absolutely mad full context.
