Stop me if you've heard this one before but- 'the Destiny 2 player count is at an all-time low and streamers think the game is dead. Suddenly a new DLC emerges that returns the game to its former glory...'
Much like The Taken King and Forsaken before, the unveiling of The Final Shape DLC is now being hyped as the new content that will save the game.
Currently, the Destiny 2 playercount is at an all-time low and many of its top streamers and YouTubers have left the game for other titles.
However, everyone seems to now be circling back thanks to Bungie's impressive showcase for The Final Shape, which you can check out below. You can see the top Destiny 2 YouTuber @Aztecross reacting to yesterday's livestream.
However, the potential turnaround for Destiny 2 is not the biggest news to emerge from yesterday's livestream.
Rumors from multiple sources are emerging that The Final Shape will mark the end of the 'Light vs Darkness' saga that began in Destiny and Destiny 2 and that The Final Shape will be the final expansion for the game.
If the rumors are correct, it seems Bungie's Destiny 2 is now starting to turn its attention to Destiny 3.
It seems Bungie is reportedly working on Destiny 3 under the codename, Payback. Some longtime Destiny vets are freaking out over the codename, taking it as an indication that the Guardian and the Vanguard may lose the upcoming showdown against The Witness.
The rumors also stated Destiny 3 would see the game shift away from its class-based gameplay aspects, allowing for players to mix-and-match abilities from any of the 3 subclasses- Hunter, Titan, and Warlock.
During yesterday's livestream, Destiny 2’s Executive Creative Director, Luke Smith cryptically teased that players would learn more about what the future holds for the game after players have their epic showdown with The Witness when the DLC drops on June 4.
We'll caution that these rumors are just that for now, but we'll also add that the same source hinted at the existence of the new Prismatic subclass long before it was officially unveiled during yesterday's livestream.
