Bungie has announced the name of the major Destiny 2-expansion in autumn 2018 – in a short trailer. The autumn expansion for Destiny 2 is called “Forsaken” and fans sense the return of the Queen, Mara Sov.
Destiny 2 Comet has a name: The major autumn expansion for Destiny 2 is called “Forsaken” (Forsaken). Bungie announced this ahead of the reveal stream starting tomorrow via Twitter.
The new “The Taken King”: “Forsaken” is set to be presented in the Twitch stream tomorrow at 6:00 PM our time. A release is expected in September 2018. “Forsaken” will be the Comet expansion of Destiny 2: the equivalent of what “The Taken King” was for Destiny 1. As a Destiny fan, one can only hope that Forsaken will be as successful as “The Taken King” in September 2015. The time after the TTK release, from September to November 2015, is considered the “golden age” of Destiny so far.
Fans sense the return of the Queen
Does the trailer give any hints? Fans immediately discovered the “Reef” as the setting for the new storyline. This was the hometown of Queen Mara Sov in Destiny 1. The “Queen of the Reef” played a significant role in Destiny until she disappeared at the beginning of “The Taken King” for the next 3 years. Mara Sov sacrificed herself to allow the Guardians to attack Oryx’s Dreadnaught. Since the incident in the Saturn orbit, the charismatic queen has been considered missing.
Mara Sov was once planned as a main character: Ahead of Destiny 2, it seemed in spring 2016 that Mara Sov could play a decisive role in Destiny 2. In a stream, her fate was linked with Destiny. It was said that she would transform from a transcendent figure to a kind of warrior princess or space pirate. However, the head of Destiny at that time, who also led the stream, surprisingly left Bungie. Shortly thereafter, there was talk of a reboot for Destiny 2, and Mara Sov has not been seen since.
When will we learn more? As early as Tuesday evening at 6:00 PM our time, we can expect more information about Destiny 2 “Forsaken.” You will find out everything about it as always here at Mein-MMO!
