The story is a big part of Destiny 2. The story of Destiny 2 is always evolving, and we get some new storylines that continue building upon the already vibrant lore with each new update. To continue on with their current narrative, Bungie has added two new stories with this update, and these are:

1. Leviathan’s Return

One can say vengeance, power, and depravity. Calus’s object of desire has taken many forms over the years. Finally, Calus’s once-opulent ship has returned to our galaxy, now derelict and corrupted, with its sights set on the Pyramid ship lying dormant on the Moon.

2. Ghosts of our Past

Nightmares finally awaken from the past, and the Leviathan connects with the Pyramid. It is threatening to torment anyone who dares to intervene. So look into the abyss and find bravery within the reaper’s mantle and the steel of the scythe.

Activities

There are some new activities with this new update, and these are:

Luna’s Ward

Solar is the latest subclass to be redesigned entirely, thanks to the highly customizable Aspects and Fragments system. So light the creative flames, discover new builds, and demonstrate that there is never a wrong time to fight fire with fire.

To find restoration, Warlock befriends these fiery priests. If you oppose them, you will see destruction in the rain of shattered dawn. Hunter is a Radiant duelist who thrives on feats of agility and skill. Be wary of their true aim and the molten edge of their blade. Finally, Titan is a Siege engine propelled by the rage of unending suns. Confronting them means giving up ground and igniting the tidal wave that will destroy everything.

Bundle
