The discovery of the secret quest inDestiny 2earlier this month giving players a chance to earnthe Whisper of the Worm exotic sniper riflewas a huge hit with fans. And, according to developer Bungie, players can look forward to more secret quests in the game’s upcoming fall expansion, Forsaken.
Game Director Steve Cotton confirmed to Game Informer that while the Whisper of the Worm quest was very unique and quests inDestiny 2’s future are “not exactly like Whisper of the Worm,” there will, in fact, be more secrets quests lurking inDestiny 2: Forsakenfor players to find.
Cotton also confirmed that exotic quests (those quests that lead players on a multi-step journey to earn a specific exotic weapon) will also be returning inDestiny 2; however, he would not go into any details about which specific exotics may be getting the quest treatment.Destiny 2has revealed a number of exoticsin a recent trailer, and while some are surely going to be a random drop within the game’s loot pool, there will be exotics in Forsaken that will be earned specifically through quests.
Exotic quests have existed withinDestiny 2since launch, such as theRat Kingand MIDA Multi-Tool, so it’s not much of a surprise that Bungie will continue that tradition moving forward into this expansion. Some fans may be hopeful for more involved quests like those seen in the past inDestiny 1, but Bungie has yet to go into further details about these quests and their complexity.
This seems to be exactly what fans are wanting, especially after the highly positive reception of the Whisper of the Worm quest. Finding secrets in the nooks and crannies ofDestiny 2seem exactly what most fans are asking for and this is just another way Bungie looks to be doing it, in addition to how much Bungie has already teased how manysecrets will be found in the game’s new endgame explorable area, The Dreaming City.
Destiny 2: Forsakenreleases on July 07, 2025 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
