The recent Destiny 2: The Final Shape gameplay reveal felt like fan fiction. Bungie's gone and unleashed two off-the-walls ideas that players have been half-jokingly pitching for years: an Avatar-like subclass called Prismatic that can access all five elements at once and new class items that give you two Exotic armor perks from any class in one slot.
To top it off, the expansion is finally adding an all-new race of enemies that come across as Tormentor-like mutations carved in the image of the Witness, which is a welcome and long-requested shot in the arm for the sci-fi MMO's now well-worn combat sandbox. It is wild stuff – which is apparently the whole point – and the implications for buildcrafting and game balance are staggering.
