Destiny 2: Players are frustrated because the most important moment in the story of Destiny is constantly interrupted

Destiny 2 struggles with bugs at the release of “The Final Shape” that can ruin the campaign of the new expansion for you.

What is the most important moment? The story of the new expansion, The Final Shape. The whole scenario brings the saga of light and darkness to an end after 10 years and sets the stage for the final battle against the Witness.

The fate of many popular characters such as Zavala, Ikora Rey, and Mara Sov takes a new turn, and already in the launch trailer for The Final Shape, Cayde-6 describes the upcoming events of the DLC as “the end of everything.” Some fans even believe that a popular character might betray us.

How is the moment interrupted? There is currently a bug that occurs during the playback of cutscenes. Players report two different scenarios that ruin their gaming experience of The Final Shape:

• A message announcing the reconnection to the Destiny servers after they were previously lost repeatedly interrupts the playing cutscenes (via Reddit).
• Other players receive an error message and are completely thrown out of cutscenes, which they then cannot replay – especially if they are very unlucky (via Reddit).

While the first bug only disrupts immersion and gaming experience, the second bug can mean that you completely miss important developments in the story of the expansion. Some players report that they only noticed after several missions or even through friends’ hints that they had missed a part of the plot.

What can you do against the bugs? Not much. If you want to make sure you don’t miss anything or get interrupted constantly, you might want to wait a bit before playing the story of The Final Shape.

If you have already missed part of it, you can check YouTube to see if you can find the corresponding cutscenes. Of course, you have to be careful not to watch too far and accidentally spoil yourself.

I was able to play The Final Shape before its release and enjoyed the expansion – even though it might seem difficult to imagine with the current problems. Here you can read my impressions of the DLC: I played “The Final Shape” before release – Here are my impressions of the expansion
