In Destiny 2 there is new information about the “Curse of Osiris” expansion.
Fresh information about the first DLC has come to light via the Italian gaming site everyeye. In a detailed interview, they spoke with Bungie’s Dave Matthews about the contents of Curse of Osiris, the activities on Mercury, PvP, and the Vex.
We summarize the most exciting statements in this overview. Note: Spoilers ahead!
Mercury Activities, the Lighthouse, and Brother Vance
In Curse of Osiris, the Guardian’s journey goes to Mercury. According to Matthews, players can expect the same activities on this planet as on the other worlds in Destiny 2 – public events, Lost Sectors, adventures, missions, and a new social hub.
This social hub is the Lighthouse, which Guardians could only access in Destiny 1 with a flawless ticket during the Trials of Osiris. In Destiny 2, it will be accessible to all Guardians who purchase the expansion.
At the Lighthouse, there is an NPC, a vendor. As it has now been revealed, it is Brother Vance. He was already the contact person for the Trials of Osiris in Destiny 1. Brother Vance will not only send you on adventures on Mercury in Destiny 2, he will also send you through a large portal that leads to an area called “Infinite Forest.”
The Infinite Forest is a Vex simulation that exists beyond time and space. Brother Vance wants you to delve into the deepest depths of the Infinite Forest. This way, you will discover what happened to Osiris.
Information about Osiris and the Vex
Osiris was the mentor of Ikora Rey until he was exiled from the Last City. While studying the Vex in exile, he entered the Infinite Forest and disappeared within it, says Matthews. What exactly happened to him since then remains unknown.
Since Osiris is a “Vex expert” and a great danger in the form of the Vex is imminent with Curse of Osiris, Ikora Rey wants you to find Osiris. He is the last hope. On your journey, you will learn what happened to Osiris.
According to Matthews, we will not only learn the story of Osiris but also a lot of background information about the Vex. It will be revealed how they act, how they think, how they can exist beyond time and space, how their machines function, and how the Vex try to achieve their goals.
Now comes an interesting statement: During the expansion, we will get to know different aspects of this mysterious race in different times. This underscores the assumption that the Guardians in Curse of Osiris will travel into the past and/or future. What exactly this means, we will only see later.
By the way: Matthews does not provide further details about the “raid activity.” He refers to the livestreams in November. Then, questions surrounding the raid activity will be answered.
More information from the interview:
- They are working to enrich the endgame of Destiny 2.
