Bungie will implement some fresh ideas for Destiny 2 with the new expansion Shadowkeep. This includes new RPG elements and finishing moves for your Guardian.
This is how the stream went: Tonight, on June 6, Bungie presented its plans for Year 3 of Destiny 2 in a livestream. The new expansion Shadowkeep has been confirmed, which is supposed to bring some fresh ideas to the shooter.
To emphasize this, Bungie also rearranged its long-standing stream crew. Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy hosted the beginning of the stream and instead of DeeJ, the streamer and explainer Datto took questions from the community at the event – even though he had to endure some teasing and ridicule for missing the World First for “Crown of Sorrow”.
Luke Smith also officially referred to Destiny 2 as an MMO for the first time, which Datto had to point out in astonishment.
Destiny 2 with more RPG: In a new ViDoc released alongside the stream, Bungie developers stated that they never really knew if they had enough RPG in the game. Now they have decided “Screw it! We’re giving players what they want!”
With Shadowkeep, the way armor, perks, and mods function is set to change significantly.
Players are currently more likely to choose the armor that grants them advantages in the game rather than those that look good. With Armor 2.0, mods that players have unlocked can be applied to any equipment item.
Additionally, Guardians will receive artifacts with Shadowkeep, where they can assemble different perks themselves. The perks in the last column that Guardians can unlock should feel like an exotic item.
These are finishing moves: Your Guardians will receive new finishers that were introduced in the ViDoc by the community favorite sound guy Dave Samuel. The different classes will each get their own finishers that they can use on their enemies.
For example, a Titan jumps into the air, raises his fist, looks at it, and then strikes down with full force.
