This bad taste was further compounded by a lackluster Trials of Osiris experience, the looming specter of weapon sunsetting, and a Guardian Games event which, despite its theatrics and pomp, was basically just more of the excessive bounty grinding players were already sick of. Despite a promising story hook involving the Almighty’s rapid descent towards Earth, the Season of the Worthy’s over-reliance on tediously grinding bounties and Seraph Tower public events left a bad taste in player’s mouths. More than anything, though, the June 6 event’s announcement sparked a bit of hopeful optimism amongst the Destiny 2 community. Destiny 2 creative director Luke Smith has talked before about wanting to make the game’s world feel more like an evolving entity that’s constantly in flux rather than a persistently static space that only ever changes when major new content updates are introduced. The Build-Upīungie’s teasing of a live in-game event was undoubtedly exciting, but also not entirely surprising. Unfortunately, the mere fact that the event happened is one of the few good things that can be said about it after the fact. The Almighty, a massive Cabal that had spent the past few months hurtling towards Earth, would finally be dealt with by the powerful AI Rasputin.Ī live event did indeed transpire within Destiny 2’s Tower social space, as Bungie had promised. Destiny developer Bungie had hinted via social media that the culmination of players’ season-long efforts during the Season of the Worthy would be laid bare via a live in-game event. Bungie will provide more information on June 9th at 12 PM EST or 9 AM PST, an hour before the new season officially starts.On Saturday, June 6, Destiny 2’splayer community gathered across hundreds of separate instances of the game’s Tower social space to watch a piece of Destiny IP history in the making. Some have theorized that the next season may feature some sort of activity focused on the Deep Stone Crypt and/or the return of the Exo Stranger. Many anticipate that the new season will focus on preparing for the arrival of the Darkness, while the fall DLC will focus on battling the Darkness. Both Eris Morn and the Drifter have a strong connection to the Darkness. One of the trailers features Eris Morn struggling through a snowy landscape and the other shows the Drifter heading toward what is likely Jupiter’s moon Europa. Some have even argued that the Pyramids will destroy Saturn's moon Titan.īungie has recently dropped two teaser trailers. Each week there appear to be more of them and they are quickly heading toward our solar system. The Pyramids are closely associated with the Darkness. A fleet of Pyramid vessels have appeared on the walls of Rasputin’s bunker. Many theorize that this live event and the upcoming season are leading to a much larger battle against the “Darkness”. Others argue, mostly jokingly, that Rasputin will miss. Some players experienced a bug a few weeks ago and were able to peek at a version of the Tower that had been at least partially damaged. Some believe that the “Last City” will also be destroyed during the live event, while others suspect that the Last City will simply be damaged by debris from the Almighty. Bungie announced in a tweet that Rasputin is powered up and it is time to “take aim” at the Almighty. Guardians have therefore spent the Season of the Worthy attempting to power the supercomputer Rasputin. The Guardians were successful and the remains of the Almighty have been floating around for years.Īt the beginning of the current season, it was revealed that a faction of Cabal planned to push the remains of the Almighty toward the “Last City” on Earth.

The Guardians were tasked with preventing the Almighty from destroying our solar systems’ sun during the 2017 campaign. The ship consumes parts of planets and uses that energy to destroy even more celestial bodies.

The Almighty is a giant Cabal spaceship that was first introduced in 2017 during Destiny 2’s Red War campaign. Today’s live event will likely feature the destruction of the Almighty.
