Summary
The conclusion ofDestiny 2’s decade-long Light and Dark saga marks the start of a new age for the franchise, and some fans curious about the game’s future have pointed out some in-game flavor text that could potentially be teasing the idea of a widely-circulated fan theory coming true in a future expansion. While the possibility of Guardians traveling beyond the confines of the Sol system has swirled through the minds of countless players since the very beginning of the franchise, the case for players getting to visit completely new star systems seems stronger now than ever before, especially in light of Bungie’s recent reveal of upcomingDestiny 2content.
The conclusion ofDestiny 2’s incredible Final Shape expansion has vast consequences for the universe as a whole, and without going into too much detail, it’s safe to say that fans will still have their hands pretty full as the year unfolds. WithDestiny 2’s seasonal model seeing a significant overhaul, fans can look forward to three episodes throughout the next year for the game - Episode: Echoes, Episode: Revenant, and Episode: Heresy. A recently-released video from Bungie titled “The Journey Ahead” gives fans a feel for what these episodes will entail, the locations they’ll take players to, as well as the new weapons and gear they’ll introduce.
And yet, perhaps the most eye-catching part of the reveal is the tease of “Codename Frontiers,” which more than likely pertains tothe next major expansion forDestiny 2. This rather on-the-nose project name has rekindled interest in the possibility of Guardians taking the fight beyond the Solar System - and while players have been interested in this idea for years, some players have pointed out that some flavor text associated with a ship released with Season of the Seraph might have provided an early hint at this. Pointed out in a post shared by the fan known as RayS0I0, the exotic ship in question is called “Exohelian,” and features flavor text which reads:“Someday, we will see the skies of worlds outside Sol’s reach.”
The Case For Destiny 2 to Take Players Beyond The Solar System
Of course, this flavor text may not have intentionally teased potential future content at all, and may be nothing more than the representation of humanity’s optimism even in the face of their potential extinction at the hands of the Black Fleet. That said,Destiny 2certainly has room to shake things up going forward, and fans have good reason to speculate that a future expansion will take them to entirely new worlds.
From hints left by Savathun that suggest humanity’s fate lies beyond the stars to the very real possibility of Guardians helping Caiatl’s Cabal taking back their homeworld of Torobatl, now is a better time than ever for Guardians to travel beyond the system. Until the next big expansion, though, players will have plenty of new story to explorethroughDestiny 2’s upcoming episodes.
