With the end of the campaign of Destiny 2, the Guardians began their great guessing game: The Traveler awakens and its light gradually reaches planets, then unknown pyramid-shaped ships. Players have been waiting for information about the ships in vain until now. Does Shadowkeep finally bring redemption?
What ships are we talking about? At the end of the campaign of Destiny 2, the Traveler awakens and sends its light through the galaxy. Gradually, the light touches planet after planet, only to eventually touch a fleet of dark, pyramid-shaped ships. These seem to awaken afterwards.
Recently, Guardians could see an image of the ships when they visit Mara Sov in the Dreaming City. Before her throne on the left side, there are holograms on a small table that strongly resemble these pyramids.
What does Bungie say? Eurogamer spoke with some employees of Bungie during the recent gamescom and also inquired about the pyramid ships. Will these and other storylines play a role in Shadowkeep? Project Lead Scott Taylor responded:
Shadowkeep absolutely drives the most important storylines of Destiny forward. While we loved exploring what we consider side stories and the corners of the Destiny universe in previous expansions, Shadowkeep brings the story forward.
Moreover, the story of Shadowkeep is also expected to initiate the story of Season 8, the Season of the Undying, as well as other plot lines from Year 3.
What does that mean? It is already known that some questions from players will be clarified with Shadowkeep. For example, the whereabouts of Eris Morn will be revealed and the Black Garden makes its return.
At this year’s E3, Franchise Manager Luke Smith said the following about the storyline of Shadowkeep:
The energy surge that is moving through space at the end of Destiny 2 leads to what happens next in Shadowkeep. Shadowkeep is really a continuation, the next chapter after the events of the main campaign of Destiny 2.
Instead of just telling its own story like the DLCs and expansions of Destiny usually did, Shadowkeep continues the narrative of the main game of Destiny 2. And could finally bring clarity to the questions that weigh heavily on the Guardians’ minds.
