Shocking plot twist revealed in leaked ‘Destiny 2: Black Armory’ cinematic

Destiny 2‘s Forsaken expansion will continue with Black Armory‘s release on December 4, and a leaked cinematic reveals a shocking plot twist that players will encounter in the DLC.

There will be major spoilers ahead. For Destiny 2 players who do not want to know what is coming in Black Armory, turn back now.

In Destiny 2: Forsaken, players avenged the death of Cayde-6 at the hands of Prince Uldren Sov. Players eventually found out that Sov was also being manipulated, but he was still executed by the Guardians in the name of justice for Cayde-6.

A data-mined video by Ginsor DestinyMining, however, revealed that a resurrection is at hand, likely during the upcoming Black Armory DLC. No, it will not be Cayde-6 who will be brought back to life.

Black Armory - Uldren is alive

The video reveals a Ghost named Pulled Pork flying through the Dreaming City. It comes across a body covered by a sheet, then resurrects it to create a new Guardian.

The new Guardian sits up to reveal his identity, and it is none other than Uldren Sov.

When new Guardians are created by Ghosts, they lose all their memories. However, the other Guardians such as Commander Zavala and Ikora will remember Uldren Sov as Cayde-6’s killer, so it will be interesting to see how events will unfold in Black Armory.

The resurrection of Uldren Sov as a new Guardian becomes even more interesting when players remember the Destiny 2 quest to acquire the Ace of Spades, Cayde-6’s signature weapon as the Hunter Vanguard. Cayde-6 said that any Hunter who would kill him will become Vanguard, and it certainly looks like Uldren Sov will fall under the Hunter class as a Guardian. This will mean that Uldren Sov, the killer of Cayde-6, will take on the mantle as Hunter Vanguard.

Uldren Sov as the new Hunter Vanguard is just speculation, but his revival will make the Black Armory story something to look forward to, particularly the tension with other Guardians when Uldren Sov does not remember that he killed Cayde-6.

Black Armory is part of the Destiny 2: Forsaken Annual Pass, under the Season of the Forge. It will be followed by Season of the Drifter from March to May next year, and a still unnamed season from June to August.

Destiny 2 studio Bungie hit by layoffs, internal game delays

Amid a wave of layoffs at Destiny developer and Sony subsidiary Bungie this week, Destiny 2: The Final Shape and Marathon have both reportedly been delayed.
On Monday morning, tweets from developers revealed that Bungie, which was acquired by Sony in January 2022, was suffering layoffs. This was followed up by a report from Bloomberg that went into more detail about the layoffs and their impact on Bungie's future games. Sony and Bungie have not officially commented on the delays yet, although the Bloomberg article mentions that Bungie CEO Pete Parsons will hold a team meeting later today to discuss the layoffs further. This all follows contractor layoffs at Sony studio Naughty Dog earlier this month, which happened as that studio struggles to develop and release a The Last of Us multiplayer game. 

Bloomberg suggests that these layoffs, like others at Sony this year, are tied to internal game delays. While Destiny 2: The Final Shape is publicly slated to come out in February 2024, Bungie reportedly told staff that it's now going to come out in June 2024. Meanwhile, we learned that Bungie's revival of Marathon was apparently targeting a 2024 launch -- although no release window was given officially -- but will now come out sometime in 2025. These delays make the PlayStation 5's 2024 game lineup look pretty sparse right now outside of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and it suggests that Destiny 2's next season will be one of its longest.
As of now, Sony and Bungie have not publicly commented on the layoffs or delays, but we will update this post when they do say more about it.

Destiny 2: Lightfall fails to deliver its Avengers: Infinity War moment
A titan wielding a grenade launcher in Destiny 2..

The comparison between Destiny 2: Lightfall and Avengers: Infinity War is immediate from the opening moments of Bungie's latest expansion. There is no more exposition to get through; the Witness, a mythical villain that represents the root of the Darkness that Guardians have fought against for close to a decade, is here, and the Traveler who has given our heroes the Light and their god-like abilities is under direct threat. The stakes couldn't be higher, but Lightfall doesn't live up to that moment.

I'm not drawing connections here that shouldn't be made -- the bombastic opening moments of Lightfall call back Infinity War's unrelenting momentum in its first act. The Traveler is under siege in Lightfall and Guardians are dismantled by a flick of the Witness' wrist, echoing the immediate slaughter brought by the hands of Thanos moments before he arrived on Earth. That feeling is the same; our antagonist is here, and there's nowhere else to run. In the final moments of the campaign, a member of my fireteam even exclaimed, "hey, that's a line from Infinity War."
