Players are calling it one of the game’s best updates ever, and…it’s also going to be the one to end it. It’s been confirmed that Destiny 2 will cease development after this, and as such, I believe we have just watched the last trailer in Destiny 2 history. That’s…hard to process for an 11-year, 6,000-hour fan. The trailer gives some indication about how the game will be forced to end. The main storyline of what was supposed to be the next saga has been slashed, and there will be no grand explanation of how we are supposed to “bind the Nine,” and wherever that plot was going.Rather, Bungie seems to have positioned this as a “rest now, Guardian” finale, with no more worlds, literally, to conquer. Just retreading old ones from here. The Earth is said to be “healing” in the wake of recent developments (last we heard, the Nine were transmuting matter all over Earth, and we were supposed to be headed to Old Chicago to investigate).The trailer shows off a lot of the new changes coming, including reprised weapons and new armor sets. Also, the return of Sparrow Racing, which players have wanted to see for years. Now, it’s the last new mode they’ll get.Play Puzzles & Games on ForbesFEATURED | Frase ByForbes™Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The PhrasePlay NowPinpoint By LinkedinGuess The CategoryPlay NowQueens By LinkedinCrown Each RegionPlay NowCrossclimb By LinkedinUnlock A Trivia LadderPlay NowThe trailer, narrated by Ikora, says that we “decide what our future holds,” which some fans believe is yet another clue that if they just make enough noi...
