During today’s Destiny 2 Showcase, Bungie has revealed the Destiny 2 The Final Shape release date to be February 27, 2024! Alongside this, we got a bunch of new trailers alongside info for not only the DLC, but also for the Season of the Witch season which is live now (read the full patch notes for it here).

Destiny 2 The Final Shape New Content, Different Editions:

Release Date: Feb. 27, 2024 (All Platforms)

In Destiny 2: The Final Shape, Guardians will confront oblivion in the form of their ultimate adversary –The Witness – alongside their iconic Vanguard companions: Ikora Rey, Commander Zavala, and the mysteriously returned Cayde-6. Players will embark on a perilous journey of remembrance and discovery into the heart of the Traveler, rally the Vanguard, and end the War of Light and Darkness. The story of this final confrontation will be told throughout the course of The Final Shape’s campaign, as well as in the new raid that will launch in March 2024.

New Raid – Launches March 2024

New Campaign and Destination in The Final Shape – The Pale Heart: located inside the Traveler. Shaped by The Witness but also influenced by the history and journey of the Guardians themselves, The Pale Heart destination will feature nostalgic callbacks from throughout the history of the Light and Darkness Saga, including a version of the original Tower from Destiny. As the first linear destination in Destiny history, The Pale Heart will also gradually evolve.

Three New Super Abilities and Aspects Introduced in The Final Shape: Void for Titans, Solar for Warlocks, and Arc for Hunters, each developed with teamplay in mind.

New Weapons: including a new weapon subfamily that includes the Rocket Pistol Sidearm and a new Support Frame Auto Rifle that can deal damage while healing allies. Additionally, classic weapons from the original Destiny will return, and a new Exotic Fusion Rifle, among others.

New Enemy Type – Subjugators: who are able to use Stasis and Strand powers against Guardians while also adding an element of control to the battlefield.

Alongside The Final Shape, Bungie has announced key changes coming to the core experience later this year and beyond.

Finally, as part of the Showcase, Bungie also announced a new Episodes content format coming to Destiny 2! This will begin in March 2024 shortly after the launch of The Final Shape and will replace the current seasonal model.

Episodes represent an entirely new approach to storytelling and content. There will be three separate Episodes in 2024 – titled Echoes, Revenant, and Heresy respectively – with the first Episode launching in March. Each Episode will be a standalone story told in three Acts, exploring the aftermath and fallout of the events of the conclusion of the Light and Darkness saga, while also introducing more content and rewards, more often than previous Destiny 2 Seasons.

That’s a lot of Destiny 2 stuff to take in! It seems Guardians will have a ton to look forward to in 2024.
