Bungie presents characters from the world of Destiny 2 in short videos. Cayde-6, the leader of the Hunter Vanguard, has now received a trailer introducing his character.
The characters and story were not among the strongest aspects of Destiny 1, but with the introduction of “The Taken King”, significant progress has been made.
A large part of this was due to the focus on Cayde-6, the leader of the Hunter Vanguard, who is voiced in the original English by none other than Nathan Fillion (the German voice had to be replaced for Destiny 2 unfortunately).
While other characters may still seem bland, Cayde-6’s cheeky and sarcastic nature has been well-received in the community. This may be one reason why Cayde-6 will also play a prominent role in Destiny 2.
The very first major trailer for Destiny 2 made this clear. Cayde-6 mistakenly referred to the main antagonist Ghaul as Gary. This resonated so well with the community that even a dedicated sub-Reddit for Gary was created. It became too much for Bungie as well – and they asked to please call the Cabal boss Ghaul.
Video introduces Cayde-6
As Destiny 2 will also be released on PC for the first time, Bungie and Activision specifically want to draw the attention of new players to the characters of the Destiny universe.
Short clips will now introduce each character (as was done with Hawthorne, a new character in Destiny 2) and give you a taste of what role the characters will play in the story of Destiny 2.
In the video itself, you can get a glimpse of some gunslinger abilities and experience the kind of humor that defines Cayde-6. He is described as a jack-of-all-trades and a devil-may-care type:
If you want to get a sense of Destiny 2 on PC, you can do so starting August 29 with the upcoming open beta.
