Yesterday, for what was apparently the first time ever, Bungie confirmed the existence of Destiny 2 with some new teaser art. It's hard to believe that this is the first time they're actually acknowledging the game, given that it's been an open secret for pretty much years now. But here we are, with maybe not all the cards on the table, but at least one now. Well, the corner of one.

As expected, Destiny fans dissected every little bit of the image they could, which shows a big "Destiny 2" logo stamped on top of the Traveler hovering over The Last City, which appears to be in flames. It's entirely possible this reveal was pushed out early thanks to a series of leaks from GameStop, which had helmet-less Guardians showing up in Destiny 2 posters, ones that also had the release date of September 8 th on them. Strangely, Bungie's own reveal did not confirm that date, but if it's wrong, they had better print and distribute some new posters.

Some players were surprised that Destiny 2 apparently does not have a subtitle, sticking with a plain numbered installment. My guess is that this is to make it very clear that this is a full sequel, not another expansion, as we have seen Destiny: Epic Subtitle four times at this point between The Dark Below, House of Wolves, The Taken King and Rise of Iron. A few years back, many thought Destiny would go the route of endless, WoW-like expansions rather than full sequels, but that's a model that probably is not going to work for games that aren't true MMOs, and Bungie/Activision want to sell more full $60 copies of games. Hence a "true sequel."

So, what can be read into based on Bungie's promotional materials for the game? The most hilarious part of the reveal yesterday was super-sleuth fans zooming in on the image and seeing what they thought were two travelers, with one lurking behind the larger one in the foreground. They started citing lines from the lore ("your Traveler has a dark mirror") to justify this theory, but it was immediately shot down by Bungie, who replaced the art within a few hours. Turns out they had just Photoshopped over an old screenshot and the curve of the original traveler had been left in. Amazing.

But there's certainly no disputing that the Last City is under attack, and many fans are speculating about how and why that is.

The Last City almost had to burn as a way to get Guardians out of the Tower for a sequel. We already know that Destiny will force players to leave pretty much all their gear behind, so it makes sense the game would facilitate this from a lore perspective by destroying the Tower and the vaults it contains. It's clear Bungie wants Destiny 2 to be a fresh start in a lot of ways, and destroying the Tower/City seems like a way to make that concept a reality.

As for who is attacking? There was that bizarre leak a while back where a line of Destiny toys implied that the Cabal had banded together to attack the city, and it seems possible that could be what's happening here. I'm inclined to believe it because after the vanilla game and four DLCs, the Cabal have still not really gotten their due in the game. They have not been the sole focus of any content, and there has never been a Cabal-themed raid. My guess is Destiny 2 will give us a Mars-based Cabal raid at last, and they will be the crux of the story, at least initially. Compared to all the other races, I think we know the least about them as well, and it's time to learn more.

With that said, I would not say no to Destiny 2 introducing an entirely new race. I have killed more Vex, Hive, Cabal, Fallen, SIVA Fallen and Taken than I can count at this point, and I would appreciate an entirely new enemy race that mixed things up a bit. That's kind of standard in sequels like this, but given how much the lore for Destiny has been established at this point, I'm not sure introducing a new race makes much sense. Though hell, I'd even take a rogue faction of ex-Guardians or something made up of NPC humans, Awoken and Exo. That would be its own kind of cool.

Today marks the beginning of Bungie's big "Age of Triumph" event, which sends players back to old raids and activities with new bonuses before they're forced to give it all up for Destiny 2. It's a victory lap of sorts, and I wonder if they even wanted to announce Destiny 2 before it began, which seems like odd timing. It would be cool if they integrated some sort of final moment to lead into a full Destiny 2 trailer or something, but we may be a few weeks away from that as players make their way through all the old content.

It's hard not to be excited for Destiny 2, which I'm guessing will end up being one of the biggest games of the year, and could possibly overshadow even Activision's Call of Duty return to WWII, if I had to guess. The game has a fan base without equal at this point, and a fresh start sequel is bound to bring back a hell of a lot of lapsed players. Until then, we'll be hanging on Bungie's every word, and the flood of leaks that are sure to follow.

Update: Bungie has posted a video teaser starring Cayde-6 that makes it very clear that Cabal are the ones doing the attacking. It's pretty great, watch it here. A full D2 trailer should be coming soon.
