Destiny 2 enters a new chapter with the upcoming Episode: Revenant. This marks a significant shift from the previous seasonal model, offering a more substantial narrative experience. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
Destiny 2 Revenant Release Date
While initially planned for a July 2024 release, Episode: Revenant was delayed to coincide with the postponement of The Final Shape expansion. Mark your calendars, as the official launch date for Revenant is set for Tuesday, October 8th, 2024. That’s just a few months away, so prepare to dive back into the world of Destiny 2.
Fallen From Grace: A New Threat Rises
Revenant takes center stage with a strong Fallen theme. Following the loss of Riis, their home planet, the Fallen find themselves adrift. This desperation breeds darkness, plunging the story into a realm of dark fantasy. Brace yourselves, Guardians, for Revenant will see you don the mantle of the Slayer Baron, a revered monster hunter in Eliksni culture. Bungie promises a deep dive into the “vampire hunter fantasy,” and the visuals hint at a chilling atmosphere.
New Mechanics
Revenant spices things up with a brand new potion crafting system. These concoctions offer a strategic edge: combat potions enhance your artifact’s power, while loot potions grant you greater control over the rewards you reap. This system paves the way for increased player agency, a concept Bungie plans to expand upon in Destiny 2’s tenth year.
Fikrul’s Frightful Return
Remember Fikrul? The Hive Scorn you thought you put down? Well, he’s back, and this time, he’s taken up residence in an Awoken watchtower. Bungie hints at heavy horror inspiration for this encounter, so prepare for a truly chilling experience.
Mark your calendars, Guardians. Destiny 2: Revenant is on the horizon, promising a fresh narrative experience filled with Fallen lore, monstrous foes, and strategic potion-brewing.
