Destiny 2: The Final Shape Overview

The Final Shape is the new expansion of Destiny 2, which will set players on a journey into the Pale Heart of the Traveler for a final showdown with The Witness. This new destination, a realm of infinite possibilities born from the Light and Darkness, is the first linear area in Destiny 2, offering a clear path for players to follow. The Pale Heart, designed to feel both familiar and unsettling, becomes more dangerous as players venture deeper, with new secrets and activities unlocking post-campaign. In this overview, we will take a look at all the new features and changes that are being added to the game with Final Shape and outline the most important ones.
