The Ultimate Form, as we already knew, is the identify of the following Future 2 enlargement, however we’ve now change into aware of info by way of mentioned cutscene which explains precisely what it means, and we are extra ready, and excited, than ever to face what comes subsequent for the beloved franchise.

If you happen to’ve been taking part in Future 2 throughout Season of the Deep, you’ll bear in mind that Commander Sloane and an enormous sea creature named Ahsa share an inexplicable bond. Ahsa speaks by way of Commander Sloane to relate this cutscene, which opens on a shot of a number of folks, presumably of the identical race as The Witness.

It transpires that the Traveler, the enormous spherical host of the Gentle, was as soon as upon a time buried on that alien race’s dwelling planet. Ultimately, it blessed the folks of the planet with a Golden Age. Those self same folks referred to as the Traveler, the Gardener. This has been a reference for a few years inside Future 2 however till now it was unclear whether or not or not they had been the identical supply of the Gentle.

Throughout the Golden Age the alien race set to work creating the now notorious black pyramid ships that the likes of The Witness, Rhulk, and Nezarec commandeer. After a time period, the folks demanded extra construction and extra function from the Traveler, and requested for steerage. When the Traveler remained silent the folks looked for the Winnower – which we all know because the Veil – because of its reference to the Gardener.

After discovering the Veil it taught the folks how Gentle and Darkness work collectively and aside they usually found that, simply because the Gentle is ready to give life, additionally it is able to horrific destruction. The folks determined, within the face of this information, that the Gentle have to be tamed because it was the epitome of chaos.

The folks thought that in the event that they used the Darkness to tame and form the Gentle they may create the proper universe – The Ultimate Form. When the folks tried to tame the Traveler it deserted them, however as an alternative of accepting this the folks merged themselves into one kind – The Witness. The identify happened as a result of they believed that that they had “witnessed the reality within the darkness”.

The Witness has continued to hunt out the Traveler all through time and house, and as we now know, has succeeded in making a portal of kinds on its floor. The Traveler and the Veil have now been merged, as per the ending of Lightfall, and that is how the cutscene ends.

After going through criticism for the way in which it dealt with the Lightfall marketing campaign, Bungie has simply info-dumped each reply we would have liked previous to The Ultimate Form. When the Future 2 The Ultimate Form launch date rolls round, we’re now extra ready than ever to tackle The Witness, lore and all.
