Technically Destiny 2: The Final Shape is now available. As for whether or not you can actually log in and play at this specific moment in time is a bit more iffy.
Bungie just released the beginning of the end. With today's release of The Final Shape expansion, the final chapter of Destiny 2's "Light & Darkness Saga" is here. This is the overarching story of Destiny that began back in the first Destiny game. In The Final Shape, Guardians will face off against their "ultimate adversary" known as the Witness.
In The Final Shape, Guardians will engage in an epic battle to spoil the Witness’s twisted designs for the fate of the universe. Along the way, they will enter the fabled Traveler and explore a brand-new destination, The Pale Heart. While pursuing the Witness through The Pale Heart, Guardians will rally their Vanguard allies to their side and confront enemies both new and familiar.
To succeed in their fight against their ultimate foe, Guardians will have access to never-before-seen powers with the release of The Final Shape. First and foremost is the Prismatic subclass. Forged of both Light and Darkness energies, Prismatic empowers players to combine Arc, Solar, Void, Stasis, and Strand into a custom subclass of their own design. By dealing enough Light and Darkness damage, players can become Transcendent, which will give them access to new grenades that deal both Light and Darkness damage, weapon damage bonuses, and more.
Prismatic is designed to give players more buildcrafting options, with more fragment types and slots than other subclasses. Combined with the new Exotic class items that arrive with The Final Shape – one for each class – players will find more options for expressing their true power as a Guardian than ever before.
Following the launch of Destiny 2: The Final Shape and Guardians’ confrontation with the Witness, Bungie will launch the first Episode, Echoes, on June 11. In this first of three standalone Episodes launching over the year of The Final Shape, Guardians will embark on a new adventure in the aftermath of the confrontation with the Witness. Full of new stories, new activities, and new rewards, Echoes will unfold over three Acts from June 11 until early October.
