It Seems We Know What Future 2’s Three Publish-Remaining Form Episodes Are About

Whereas all eyes are on The Remaining Form, Future 2’s conclusory “Gentle and Darkness” enlargement, Bungie has no less than given us sufficient data to know they aren’t doing one thing drastic like stopping improvement on the sport, latest issues or not.

We’re being herded into a brand new non-seasonal format that’s nonetheless…considerably seasonal, however with three not 4 of them and longer, extra substantive stretches of content material. However at this level, there have been sufficient story hints about the place issues are going that I believe we all know the main target, or no less than a part of the main target, on what’s been introduced already.

Echoes, Vex Episode – This one will be the most fuzzy, however as of this week, I believe we bought some robust hints that it should do with the Vex analysis group on the Ishtar Collective. We simply noticed the Ishtar image contained in the Black Backyard, the place we all know copies of the unique group have been exploring. And there are hints different copies in there have beforehand made contact with the lacking Vault of Glass fireteam Warlock, Praedyth. Additionally, after the reason of Maya Sundaresh’s Veil analysis, my principle is that she lives on after dying, and will present up as a Vex-infused antagonist, on condition that we’ve got by no means actually actually gotten a “face” from that race we are able to hate. Asher Mir could present up as nicely.

Revenant, Scorn Episode – Once more, we’ve got gotten hints about this in previous seasons, and now a complete lot this season particularly. We all know that there’s a faction of Scorn loyalists who’re working for Fikrul, particularly exterior the plans of The Witness, regardless that it has been recognized to make use of Scorn in its armies itself. The Warlord’s Wreck dungeon discusses Fikrul at size, and the implication is that the Scorn there are from Home of Kings, who’re intimately tied with Uldren in Crow’s previous life. We’ve killed Fikrul many instances however he’s successfully immortal, and it appears pretty apparent he would be the focus of this episode right here as the one actual Scorn determine who continues to lurk and scheme within the background.

Heresy, Hive Episode – Right here, once more, it appears fairly clear which Hive we’re able to deal with. We all know that Savathun has been resurrected and is now off doing…one thing as we maintain her ghost hostage. And the occasions of Season of the Witch had Eris utilizing her Hive god energy to chop Xivu Arath off from her Throne World, making her mortal and capable of be hunted and killed. In principle. The one caveat right here is that it’s arduous to think about Savathun not concerned in The Remaining Form in some important manner, and I may see one thing like The Witness transporting Xivu Arath by way of the Traveler Portal to behave as some final line of protection, possibly because the marketing campaign boss. However we simply don’t know, and my cash is on each sisters that includes closely on this episode.

These are my theories based mostly on what I believe is fairly strong proof over the course of the previous yr. Let me know what you suppose.
