A Big Destiny 2 Season 18 And Lightfall Theory To Make Sense Of The Mystery

Future 2 has entered a section the place they do not need to inform us something about upcoming content material till launch day, which I’d think about a lackluster advertising and marketing technique, however hey, Bungie can do no matter it desires.

Over the previous week, we have been instructed that we can’t hear something important about Season 18 till its launch day, August 23, the place there will probably be a giant Future showcase that will even give attention to Lightfall, subsequent yr’s extension. We have additionally been instructed that we can’t hear which Future 1 raid returns till that day both, even when it would not launch till three days later. It appears more and more probably that we can’t be taught the main points of Arc 3.0 till it is stay in-game both, which occurred with Photo voltaic 3.0.

Why? Why is that this such a thriller? As I stated in a video I made yesterday, I believe it isn’t the identical class of silence as Bungie taking a step again from social media as a consequence of latest threats as a result of it is is extra of a advertising and marketing determination. And one thought is that every one of this stuff are tied collectively in a method the place in the event you reveal one, you will truly reveal all of them, which is why they’re all bundled collectively and launched without delay.

So that you desire a huge principle? This is an awesome principle. I am not saying that I am essentially to consider this principle, however it’s a proof. There are a number of rooms right here:

1. Future gamers have been asking for a SIVA season for a lot of, a few years now, on condition that they loved each the Rise of Iron storyline and Warmind was a well-received first DLC D2.

2. Over time I’ve seen Bungie particularly say that they’ve absorbed suggestions concerning the group’s need to return to SIVA, although to this point that is solely manifested in some unique adornments and the return of Outbreak Prime itself.

3. Whereas Rasputin was a significant a part of the storyline within the seasons main as much as Past Gentle, it was “shut down” when darkness got here. We all know that Ana Bray kidnapped him from Mars in an Engram and is at the moment constructing a particular exo physique for him to attempt to restore him to some extent. Extra clues to know that he might return as “Archangel”.

4. The Witch Queen was teased about a spot known as Nefele Stronghold, a secret human outpost that Rasputin hid from everybody.

So, SIVA and Rasputin are the good unifying power for every little thing that comes subsequent:

• The idea can be that Season 18 marks the return of Rasputin and the reintroduction of SIVA as an idea to some extent. The season might be about restoring his physique as new threats from darkness loom and giving him again a few of his energy. We all know he is already helped cease the meltdown, and as a second meltdown looms, we may have him to do it once more.
• The season 18 raid would subsequently be Wrath of the Machine, the Rise of Iron raid primarily based on SIVA. It is the much less apparent selection than King’s Fall, so that may be a shock. Like Vault of Glass arrived throughout a Vex season, Wrath might arrive throughout a SIVA season. Neither is it completely unimaginable that it might by some means be built-in into the story, even when Vault of Glass was not.

• Enter Lightfall, an growth that everybody thinks will cope with the attacked traveler in a direct method, which once more would require considered one of earth’s best defenders, Rasputin, to step in and assist. Everyone too expects this growth to introduce a fifth subclass, not like The Witch Queen, and now all 3.0 subclasses will probably be full. Whereas the frequent principle has been the poison/decay subclass, we would additionally see the belief of one other previous principle, some type of SIVA primarily based class the place I dunno, SIVA mixes with darkness vitality to develop into an influence the Guardians can management. We get an inventory of ARIA-based powers, and ARIA turns into a brand new harm kind. Fairly than filling the “inexperienced” poison slot, we as a substitute get a begin of the “purple” factor, which appears to be the probably different coloration theme if the last word purpose is for Future to have three sub- gentle and three darkish courses and harm sorts when all is claimed and carried out.

Guess I might even weave Arc 3.0 in there, because it is likely to be a part of the season 18 story contemplating Rasputin is a machine and Arc is light-infused electrical energy, however since Photo voltaic 3.0 would not had no story element, who is aware of.

Once more, this might all be a large swing and miss, which is why I am not truly placing any eggs on this basket. I am simply saying which may clarify why nothing is teased and every little thing is taped for a selected reveal on August 23. Perhaps it isn’t all associated, I do not know, however it will make extra sense if the reply was one thing like this. We are going to see.
