In just over two months, the next expansion for Destiny 2, Shadowkeep, will be released. Bungie has now given a first look at what to expect with the Moon’s Fortress of Shadows. During the Guardian Con, the first video of the Moon, where the story of the addon takes place, was shown. Destiny veterans should feel right at home.
Where do the new details come from? This weekend, Guardian Con is taking place in Florida, with several representatives from Bungie present. Guardian Con is a community event that was started in 2015 by some Destiny streamers like King Gothalion and Professor Broman. Among other things, the event is used to raise donations for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
While Bungie hasn’t revealed much about the upcoming addon Shadowkeep, there were some teasers during a live stream at Guardian Con about what players can expect from the expansion. Among other things, the first season of the Fortress of Shadows was discussed, and a glimpse of the new Moon was given.
What is the first season? In the stream, the first season was revealed to be the “Season of the Undying.” This name was already known from previous streams and the pre-order of the upcoming expansion.
It has now been revealed that the season not only involves Eris on the Moon but also the Vex. The cybernetic race will invade the entire solar system during the Season of the Undying. In the stream, there was even talk of “invasions.” All Guardians will be needed to fend off the Vex.
What was seen from the Moon? Besides the information about the first season of Shadowkeep, there were also the first moving images from the Moon, where the story of the expansion is supposed to unfold. Destiny veterans will likely recognize the Moon from the first Destiny title.
In Shadowkeep, however, the Moon is supposed to be twice the size as it was in Destiny 1. In the short clip, familiar structures on the celestial body can be seen, but also new areas, such as a brief glimpse of the strange red citadel featured on the cover of the expansion, as well as dark corridors filled with dangerous traps.
