A few weeks ago, a leakedDestiny 2cinematic revealed major repercussions forForsakenand potential story beats forBlack Armory.But thanks to one eagle-eyed fan, we now know there’s more than meets the eye in this cutscene. Those who have yet to see this cutscene should be forewarned that this article containsMINOR SPOILERS, but here ishow to legitimately unlock the cinematic in-game.
By now, many know this cinematic sees the rebirth of Uldren Sov at the hands of a Ghost. This means Uldren has become a guardian, likely has no memory of the events ofDestiny 2: Forsaken,and may feature another prominent role in forthcoming DLC or the threequel to the franchise. However, one fan noticed something strange about the shadow cast by Uldren’s body.
In fact, the shadow does not match Uldren’s body whatsoever, but instead, it seems to be a silhouette of the now-deceased Cayde-6. Cayde-6’s death is what drives players on their revenge mission inForsaken, and while this may be a simple easter egg tribute, it’s oneDestiny 2fans may very well enjoy.
On the other hand, it’s entirely possible that this shadow was not intentional and not meant to depict Cayde-6. Some fans have argued about the light angle or Uldren’s feet, but at the end of the day,Destiny 2fans can believe whatever they wish. After all, they are also likely too busy with the newest Forge to open andobtaining the Butterfly Key.
Taking all of this into consideration, it’s hard to pass a solid verdict on whether or not the tribute was intentional. Even if it wasn’t intentional on Bungie’s behalf (which is hard to believe) and even if it is Uldren’s shadow making the horn, it does look incredibly similar to Cayde-6’s head. Still, while this may be a simple Easter egg, the cinematic as a whole has some serious implications to deal with, potentially inDestiny 3,especially if the associated leaks prove to be true.
Destiny 2is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
