Destiny 2: The Final Shape Expansion Drops June 4 with New Prismatic Subclass
  • Bungie has delayed the release of Destiny 2's The Final Shape expansion to June 4th, from its original February launch.

  • The expansion introduces the Prismatic subclass, merging Light and Darkness abilities, and a state called Transcendence with new abilities and weapon damage bonuses.

  • Included in the update is Onslaught mode, defending the last city from The Witness' minions, and a new enemy type known as The Dread.

  • Players can expect 12 reprised weapons in the Brave Arsenal, craftable Exotic rewards from The Whisper and Zero Hour missions, and new exotic class items for customization.

  • The Prismatic subclass allows for unprecedented mixing of Light and Dark Subclass abilities, aligning with earlier leaks on Reddit about a new system called Prism.

  • Despite the expansion being a closing chapter for Destiny 2, Executive Creative Director Luke Smith indicates the franchise will continue beyond The Final Shape.

  • Leaks suggest Destiny 3 is under development with the code name 'Payback,' potentially eliminating classes for more flexible character abilities, but its release could be several years away.
