Destiny 2 loremaster My name is Byf has put out a video chronicling the complete story of the franchise to get players ready for The Final Shape. However, if you’re intending to catch up, you may want to put aside ten hours.
Destiny’s story is often lambasted for beingdifficult to parse for new players. There are a lot of reasons for that. The franchise is famous for its exceptionally dense, universe-expanding lore, with hundreds, if not thousands of relevant entries coming together to tell the story of Destiny.
Also, due to the sunsetting of content, Destiny 2’s story is often fragmented and disjointed as parts of it has been sliced from the game over time. New players can sadly never experience The Red War from Destiny 2’s launch, making this universe notoriously hard to parse.
So, if you are in the position of being a new player, or even a lapsed player jumping intoThe Final Shape, you may be intimidated by catching up to the story. But now you have a one-stop shop to catch all the way up – you just might need a day to do it.
If you’re ready to jump in, you can watch it all here:
The video covers the entirety of the relevant Destiny story, literally from the start of the universe, right up until the moments before The Final Shape.
