Highlights:
- Emissary of the Nine frees herself from their control?
- Beginning of "The Fate Saga" which will span multiple years. Content announced through the end of 2027 at least.
- First expansion is "Edge of Fate" second is "Renegades"
- New guardian character Lodai seems to be important to the story.
- New location is Kepler, a large object in the Oort Cloud that is covered in dark matter.
- Guardians infuse their light and dark powers with dark mater to create new abilities.
- Showcase ability is Matterspark, which turns your guardian into a ball of Arc energy that functions identically to the Morph Ball in Metroid Prime.
- There are some attacks and abilities tied to Matterspark
- Some gameplay of manipulating the landscape to create paths for you to travel to as a Matterspark.
- Sounds like you'll need to go to specific points on the map to activate Matterspark.
- New enemies added to factions. We see some Jetpack Fallen called corsairs and some new suicide vex drones I didn't catch the name of.
- House of Exile Fallen are on Kepler, Vex are also on Kepler.
- World Tiers increase difficulty and open up new options for completing missions/objectives.
- There's a highly customizable difficulty setting for activities. TBH I couldn't really pay attention to this.
- Armor 3.0 allows stats to go over 100, energy all unlocked at start but can go above 10 slots, gear set bonuses (finally).
- Guns also have tiers up to 5 so far. Showing guns with EVERY perk as enhanced and up to 3 per column.
- Tier 5 weapons have special cosmetics.
- Firing range with summonable enemies is FINALLY added to the tower.
- New Portal screen that Replaces the Director, supposed to make it easier to get into content quicker.
- Can now hit the power cap entirely playing Crucible.
- Content roadmap shown. Two expansions per year. One Major update between Expansions? (I'll have to try and find this to confirm.)
- We are returning to the Plaguelands in this year's major update "Ash and Iron". Not clear if we're getting that level of update each time.
- New Raid on July 19th. No other details.
- No Land Beyond returns as "New Land Beyond". Available as a pre-order bonus now.
- Renegades is explicitly Star Wars themed. We get Han Solo's Blaster and a lightsaber.
- Additional Pre-Order bonuses include a Kylo Ren set for Warlocks, Darth Vader set for Titans, and General Grevious set for Hunters. Along with an, EoF Emote, Ghost, and Emblem.
- Rites of the Nine launches today and acts as the intro to Edge of Fate.
I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff I forgot to mention so I encourage everyone to watch the stream. I'll try to post more info as it becomes available.
