Much of DestinyThe story exists anywhere except the main game. The version you get of playing through your campaign today is very different from what it was just a year ago, and it’s also very different from what you’ll get from playing Destiny for hundreds of hours, absorbing its ambient atmosphere of low level. building from the text with gun taste, random menu screens, i Bungie’s own website. Now the studio has found an even stranger place to unveil new historical twists by putting the great evil of Season of the Chosen on Twitter.
This week, Bungie handed over the reins of her Destiny account to Caiatl, Empress of Kabbalah. What could have been just weird weird advertising on the fourth wall became something else by virtue of the commitment the game developers developed with the bit.
“Guardians! Your commander makes you fight those who could be your allies, “Caiatl wrote Monday.” Join me in the fight against our shared enemy. “
In Destiny-land, Caiatl tries to get players to bend their knees as part of an alliance to face their shared enemy, the Hive. Although they have not joined her in the game, they have joined Caiatl on Twitter to provoke her final game and ask the giant alien warlord to step on them.

Here’s an example of how it went:
Caiatl: Join me in revenge.
DrLupo: Walk over me please
Caiatl: addressed to an empress, commander of legions and ruler of the Cabal. You are already under me.
Caiatl 9’10 “ago. In comparison, it is four inches longer Resident Evil Villageshe is a very tall vampire lady, which the players also wanted to step on, who does 9’6 ”.
But the Empress, whose father was head of a one-year raid, doesn’t just try to make memes with people. He also spilled some important beans in connection with this week’s assassination attempt on Commander Zavala, the father of the vanguard. With excellent daytime soap opera fashion, he was hanging a balcony about to be shot by Psion Flayer when Crow, old Destiny 2 villain turned into amnesiac, sad boy, good boy, appeared before him briefly enough to make him aware of the intruder. The great revelation? Caiatl claims he did not order the attack.
“If I wanted to kill Zavala, I would look him in the eye when I did,” he wrote in response to a tweet from a player asking about the attack. “A warrior deserves no less.” Undoubtedly, this gives a different twist to things. Destiny he often prefers to tell stories through a large and forceful allegory — Achilles dragging Hector out of the doors of Troy-type things — rather than relying on intrigue and conspiracy. The season of the chosen ones has stood out in this sense so far. The politics of Destiny’s universe are deepening and becoming increasingly three-dimensional. Of course, you should continually play the missions to make dialog sound rotations to get a full picture, and now you’re also on Twitter being in Caiatl’s menchies.
The players who have presented themselves have gone deep into it.
“You missed all the shots you took, [Caiatl]”One player tweeted.” The greatness of the work of your gunsmiths seems, at best, quite dubious. In the meantime, the pile of Cabal’s bodies we have accumulated speaks volumes, Empress. But please continue your sales presentation “.
Caiatl responded: “All the challenges that matis pave the way for stronger commanders. Every battle you wage against us teaches us your tactics. “
Bungie probably couldn’t have staged it better.
Some comments from the players have even led the character to be poetic. “You regret betraying your father, Calus,” one asked. “Life is a chain of decisions, triumphs and regrets. Do you regret not saving Cayde-6? “She wrote again. (If you live under a rock or just don’t touch Destiny: Cayde-6 was Nathan Fillion, who Crow killed in 2018).
Ideally, exchanges like this would be presented in the game, not only as dumps of knowledge related to booty boots or animated shorts, but as normal scenes depicted in the engine. For a whole host of reasons that probably include lack of time, money, and resources, these kinds of concrete narratives have never been on the cards for Destiny. Still, turning fans into response guys to help build this season’s characters is one of the most creative solutions Bungie has come up with since the series was released, and it’s certainly better than nothing.
