A new Destiny 2 expansion is set to release tomorrow. Edge of Fate is Bungie's latest DLC for the long-running FPS looter shooter, and it marks the beginning of a new era for the game. And maybe me, too.
For years, Destiny 2 was something of a social life replacement for me. The first game and its sequel were where friends and I gathered to tackle Raids, Strikes, and Crucible PvP together while hanging out, leveling up, and exploring the universe. Now? I feel like people have moved on.
I'm probably not alone in feeling like The Final Shape was the end of my Destiny-playing era, at least when it comes to it being a main game of mine. I'll be returning to play Edge of Fate after barely playing the game over the past year since taking down the Witness last summer, but I can't say the same for my friend group, who have shown no interest in coming back.
The Final Shape ended Destiny's "Light and Darkness Saga," and now begins the "Fate Saga," where Guardians will "venture into the unknown, where the mysteries of the cosmos – and The Nine – await." The expansion includes a new story, a new location called Kepler ("a planetoid shrouded by dark matter and plagued by a singularity"), new characters, and a lot of intrigue.
It feels like the main selling point of Edge of Fate is that mystery, which is probably a smart idea. This is a new frontier for the characters in the universe, but also for Bungie as it gets ready to launch another game in Marathon and have both live service titles running concurrently. I hope it works out.
And so now I ask you, dear reader, are you in the same boat as me? Do you feel like Destiny 2 has run its course, or is your fireteam getting back together in orbit tomorrow to take on Bungie's latest?
