Destiny 2
Normally I’d put up a spoiler warning for a leak post like this, if you want to go in blind to whatever a new subclass might be in Destiny 2, presumably revealed alongside Lightfall during the August 23rd, showcase, but whatever this is, it’s hard to extract too much detail from it.
Only that a new subclass does seem to exist.
The image above comes from the page of a Bungie artist who was showing off an existing finisher animation in a video. The problem? That would be this strange looking subclass UI in the bottom left, as seen above, which probably wasn’t supposed to be kept in there. Some things to note:
In short, despite the excitement of what appears to be a fifth subclass leaking, there isn’t a whole lot we can confirm about this. The biggest news is probably the green color and the new super symbol, but it’s hard to extract all that much past the surface level here.
The assumption has very much been that Lightfall would indeed bring a new subclass to the game, after Witch Queen did not give us one with Bungie opting to do 3.0 element reworks all year long. We are also supposed to get Arc 3.0 information soon, or maybe even during the showcase. It is not a guarantee that even a Lightfall reveal would definitely debut the new subclass, as that could be something they save for later. I’d be a little surprised, but it’s possible.
The main theories revolve around Egregore, the corruptive darkness plant on the Leviathan, or a more generalized poison theme. Older theories used to be that we could be getting a Hive soulfire class, but that rumor seems to have mostly dissipated.
While we will get a final reveal, most likely, on August 23, it’s still two weeks until then, and that’s plenty of time for more leaks. We’ll see what comes out next.
