Destiny 2: The Final Shape’s Prismatic Subclass Avoids The Mistakes Of Strand In Lightfall
When players jump into the story campaign for Destiny 2’s next expansion, The Final Shape, they’ll pretty quickly unlock one of the biggest new parts of the game: Prismatic. The new subclass is necessary to complete The Final Shape’s story, just like Strand was when it was introduced in Destiny 2’s last expansion, Lightfall.
But unlike how Lightfall handled its new player abilities, Bungie says you’ll get Prismatic early in The Final Shape, and you’ll have access to it for the duration–it won’t be parceled out in short bursts and only fully unlocked many hours later, once you finish the campaign.
Bungie gave a pretty close look at Prismatic in action, and The Final Shape’s campaign generally, in a recent hands-off preview event attended by GameSpot. The preview showed a big chunk of the campaign’s first mission, as well as a later Strike mission that becomes available about halfway through the story. As in Lightfall, the new subclass is an essential part of the story of The Final Shape, and you’ll make use of it as you go, but with a lot fewer restrictions this time around.
