Before the upcoming announcement by Bungie, information about the next expansion of Destiny 2 has surfaced. What comes after the Season of Opulence?
What is it about? The Season of Opulence has just begun in Destiny 2. However, there is another highlight on the agenda this week.
Bungie plans to discuss the future of Destiny on Thursday, June 6. We should learn more about the plans for Year 3, and the next chapter of Destiny 2 will be revealed there.
However, before this official reveal, it seems that initial information about this new chapter has leaked.
Where does the information come from? On June 4, Destiny 2 received the Update 2.5.0.1, which marked the beginning of Season 7. In the new data that came with the patch, data miners have discovered a special image.
This apparently is an in-game pop-up that is likely to appear once a new expansion is officially announced on Thursday.
The image provides some information about a possible expansion and announces the pre-order possibility.
This is what we know about the upcoming expansion for Destiny 2
This will be the name of the expansion: Initially, the image reveals the name of the next expansion. It is said to be called “Shadowkeep”.
This is the setting of the expansion: Shadowkeep takes the Guardians back to the Moon of Earth, which the Guardians have not visited since Destiny 1. There, players will venture into a mysterious enemy citadel and face terrifying “Shadows” and “Nightmares”.
According to data miners, it will involve a reawakened force of the Hive with new units. The image itself shows a type of fortress on the Moon’s surface with a citadel and Earth in the background.
When will the expansion come? According to the image, the expansion is set to be released in the fall. However, the image material does not provide a specific date. But it seems that players will be able to pre-order it soon.
How reliable is this information? The information comes directly from the game data of Destiny 2. Additionally, the renowned gaming journalist Jason Schreier from Kotaku has confirmed the authenticity of this information.
He stated in response to a skeptical fan’s question about whether this information is actually real: “They are real”. Schreier is considered a reliable source with good insider contacts in the gaming industry.
