"Destiny 2 Forsaken" is a significant expansion for the popular online multiplayer first-person shooter developed by Bungie. Released in September 2018, Forsaken marks a pivotal moment in the Destiny 2 narrative, steering the storyline into darker and more complex territory. The expansion begins with the tragic death of beloved character Cayde-6, prompting Guardians to venture into the Tangled Shore – a lawless region rife with outlaws and hidden dangers. Players must hunt down the Barons, a group of deadly enemies, and ultimately confront Riven, the last Ahamkara (a wish-dragon) and the expansion's main antagonist, set within the sprawling Dreaming City.
Forsaken introduces new mechanics, including a new raid known as "Last Wish," which challenges players with unique encounters and rewards. The addition of the Gambit mode blends PvE and PvP gameplay, requiring teams to collect motes and summon powerful blockers to disrupt their opponents while simultaneously fighting off AI enemies. With a revised power system and the introduction of new supers for each class, Forsaken revitalizes combat and encourages players to explore the lore-rich environments through quests and hidden secrets. The expansion has been well-received for its engaging story, rich world-building, and the depth it adds to the overall Destiny 2 experience.
