For a long time, there has been speculation about whether the third subclasses introduced with the “King of the Possessed” DLC will be present in Destiny 2. Now images from preview events have surfaced.

Bungie invited testers to a preview event to take a closer look at the game over the course of 2 days. The first embargo lifted yesterday – gameplay from the EDZ can now be shown.
And it’s significant. New vendors have appeared and heroic public events have been revealed. Additionally, mysterious artifacts for the Warlock and the Hunter have been discovered in the gameplay footage, hinting at the third subclass.
Hunters find a Void Bow
The Hunter found a Void Bow in the following image, clearly alluding to the Nightstalker. It is said to be a “Hunter relic.”
The description of this artifact states that “You have found an object full of lost power.”
The Arc Talisman of Warlocks
An appropriate artifact has also been found for the Warlock. It is an Arc Talisman with the description “This artifact is one of the keys to regaining your lost power. It has been added to the subclass inventory.”
These images are clear evidence that the subclasses will be making a return. This is also evident in the following image, which shows a mission in the EDZ for the Warlock:
In this quest step, you need to defeat enemies and fight alongside other Guardians. It seems that you will need to earn your focus in multiple quest steps.
The following image provides proof that the subclasses are returning:
The Guardian is unmistakably out as a Stormcaller. Thus, two subclasses have now been found in the gameplay footage. Even though the Titan and his hammers have not yet been found, everything suggests that the Dawnbreaker will also be back in action.
Whether these subclasses have been given altered abilities will be revealed at the latest at the launch of Destiny 2.
What do you think? Are you relieved that the three subclasses are returning? Let us know in the comments!
