Bungie May be Shooting For the Wrong Moon With Destiny 2’s The Final Shape

Destiny 2‘s Season of the Witch was a great addition to the game and even made for a good story after the Lightfall debacle, and even though it didn’t exactly answer some burning questions about what Savathun knows or how to access the portal on The Traveler, it set up other plot threads. Still, Lightfall’s failure to engage players and deliver a worthy story is probably partly responsible for this year’s decline of trust in Bungie from the fans, which in turn led to a lack of pre-orders for The Final Shape, and ultimately to the recent layoffs at the company. Bungie’s recent comments about The Final Shape are about delivering a great expansion, but the studio may be shooting for the wrong inspiration.
