Destiny 2 Ending Explained
At the very end of the final cutscene in Destiny 2’s story, we see the above ship. It’s dormant at first, but once the light reaches it, it awakens and starts to move, presumably towards us. The most curious thing about this scene is the shape of the ship itself. We’ve never actually seen this specific type, so it’s not entirely clear who they are, though we have a few ideas.
The first thing that comes to mind is the Vex, as they are into super angular things and are very high-tech. But that wouldn’t make sense, as the Vex clearly know who and where we are (we did kill their god after all). What does make sense is a new race, one that we haven’t encountered, but have seen in the past… sort of.
Back before Destiny first released, we were shown some concept art, and part of it included a race that never actually appeared in the game. Some believe that this may be the Jovians, the people governed by the Nine who Xur works for. But Xur is aware of our home and of our people, so that wouldn’t make much sense either. We don’t know why the Nine sends Xur as an emissary to help us, but we do know that they know quite well about our presence in the universe and wouldn’t have been awoken with such an ominous tone.
If you look at the concept art, though, the triangles that represent their ships are present, and they look awfully similar to the shape we saw during the ending of Destiny 2. This means there’s a strong chance that Bungie has a new race heading into Destiny 2. There’s no telling what intentions the ships have, as the ominous tone can easily be a trick so players expect the worst. But if our run-ins with the other races we’ve met are any indication, it’s time to hunker down and prepare for a fight.
