Bungie lays the groundwork for those who want to jump right in
A bunch ofDestiny 2news dropped yesterday, as part of theDestiny 2showcase that revealed its new season and the comingLightfallexpansion. If you were interested by what you saw, Bungie has a newDestiny 2lore video to help fill you in on the basics.
Thisvideo, dubbed “Destiny 2: The Light and Darkness Saga – Destiny Calls,” is short and sweet. It essentially covers all the bases, from the origins of the Traveler to different enemy factions that Guardians fight against.
At just about five minutes and change, this video lays out the foundation ofDestiny 2lore.
While it doesn’t go into too many specifics with regards to campaign stories, it’s a nice summation ofDestiny 2lore for folks looking to hop in and play right away. There’s the Light, the Darkness, a bunch of angry enemy armies, and a whole lot of loot to pick up.
The battle for the Light
It’s extra helpful, seeing asDestiny 2is making all of its campaigns free to play this week, as part of the showcase festivities. If you were waiting to see what all the fuss is about, this is a good start to catching up.
Bungie revealedDestiny 2: Lightfallyesterday, confirming that the Guardians are indeed heading to Neptune. The neon city of Neomuna looks very cyberpunk, and while there, Guardians will pick up the ability to swing around using Strand powers. I think that makes it a strand game?
Alongside some quality-of-life features that should make life easier, Bungie also confirmed a big plus forDestiny 2newcomers. The studio says itwon’t sunsetfutureDestiny 2expansions like it did with theForsakencampaign. This should hopefully make it even easier to hop on and catch up with the most recentDestiny 2lore yourself.
