A New Story
This one somewhat speaks for itself. Destiny 2 may not be severing ties with the story and great cast of characters we met in its predecessor, but it’s by no means a straight continuation of anything going on in the first game. Sure, Cayde-6, Zavala and the rest will pop up every so often, but this time Guardians are pushing back the darkness of a new threat.
Said new threat is Dominus Gaul, the leader of the Cabal group known as the Red Legion. These folk were taught that they were the ones worthy of receiving the Traveler’s light, and with humanity getting the light instead, well… they’re not pleased. As a result, Dominus and the Red Legion intend to take your light and claim it as their own, as any self-respecting villain would do.
While dedicated fans are sure to pick up on a few things that’ll go over the heads of newcomers during Destiny 2’s story, a clean break is a perfect way to ensure new and veteran Guardians alike can appreciate and enjoy the story Bungie has crafted. Here’s hoping we get plenty of memorable moments and even more lore tidbits in Destiny 2.
