Destiny 2: The Final Shape - New Prismatic Subclass, Release Date, & Dread Enemies
After postponing the initial release of Destiny 2: The Final Shape, Bungie unveiled groundbreaking new systems and challenges for the looter-shooter. Serving as the conclusion to the Light and Darkness Saga that began over a decade ago, this DLC marks a pivotal moment for Destiny. Explore the details of the new Prismatic subclass, the anticipated release date, and the menacing Dread enemies that await Guardians.
Set For A June Release Arriving After A Three-Month Delay
Following a three-month delay, Destiny 2: The Final Shape is scheduled to launch on June 4, 2024. While the delay may disappoint some fans, it aligns with recent expansions that have required additional development time. Potential factors contributing to the delay include mixed fan responses and Bungie's focus on multiple projects as a semi-independent studio despite Sony's recent acquisition.
Sixth Prismatic Subclass A Tease At A Possible Future
Destiny 2 introduces its sixth subclass, the Prismatic subclass, which is a unique fusion of Light and Dark abilities. This innovative subclass allows Guardians to mix and match abilities, paving the way for a classless system hinted at in early Destiny 3 rumors. Additionally, the Prismatic subclass features the Transcendence system, empowering Guardians with increased damage and energy regeneration.
The First New Enemy Race, The Dread, The Witness, Unleashes Their Army
Destiny welcomes its first new enemy race, the Dread, with The Final Shape expansion. Unlike previous additions like the Taken and Scorn, the Dread presents a completely fresh threat. These formidable foes, serving the Witness, wield elemental powers to thwart Guardian efforts. With various Dread units, including Tormentors, Subjugators, and Grim, Guardians face a relentless onslaught.
A New Exotic Class Item Blurring The Class Lines
The Final Shape expansion brings back Exotic Class Items with a twist, offering two Exotic perks per item. This enhancement allows players to benefit from a broader range of perks, transcending class restrictions. By encouraging diverse build crafting, Destiny 2 moves toward a classless future, enriching gameplay possibilities.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape marks a pivotal moment for the franchise, shaping its future trajectory. With high expectations and the promise of new content, Guardians await the expansion's launch on June 4, eager to embark on the next chapter of Destiny's saga.
