The official Destiny 2 presentation unveiled various aspects of The Final Shape expansion, including a fresh location referred to as The Pale Heart. This destination will transform and adapt as players progress through the campaign.
During the official presentation, Bungie disclosed that the upcoming expansion will introduce a new area named The Pale Heart. Noted as the first linear destination, The Pale Heart of the Traveler will adjust based on players’ choices during the campaign and will undergo substantial changes after the ongoing storyline concludes.
The developers also explained how the Witness’s Monolith impacts The Pale Heart of the Traveler, resulting in architecture that combines environmental elements rearranged in unconventional patterns that align with the cosmic horror themes that inspire Destiny 2.
