You know a character is iconic when the sound of their gun chambering a round gives you chills

and I LOVE the holster with its automatism and its click

It’s like when Lil Wayne pulls up on a verse with the lighter flick

@Black Fabioand his “hmmhmm” 😂

Ace of Spades is probably one of, if not the, most famous weapon in video game history.

Um, not to be that guy but I’m going to be that guy. Revolvers don’t chamber rounds. He simply just clicked the cylinder into place. “Chambering” on a revolver is whats called reloaded. To chamber it would be ejecting a casing with a bolt carrier group slamming a new bullet into the chamber. Thats called a single chamber system. Revolvers are multi “chamber” its still called a chamber where the ammo sits in the cylinder but theres no sound of chambering like youre talking about as the chambering is done during reload

The little destiny theme towards the end of the trailer never fails to give me chills, takes me back to the main menu of the first Destiny

God, it sounds so good.

It might be the menu theme for Final Shape. All the final themes in previews for a new expansion typically show up in the new start screen.

​@Bruen AstralithIt'd be a very neat idea. More or less gives "Ending where it all began" vibes

they should of just stuck to the first game, but ofc activison wanted moneyz

This trailer has the vibe of D1, the slow flowy movement, and the simple but epic orchestral background music that swells at certain points gives me intense nostalgia. This is different than the usual action packed movie trailer stuff, it's amazing.

me too, i hope they keep this vibe going, i miss the old soundtrack so much

Sony money finally kicking in

I hope this type of vibe stays.

I miss the D1 feel. If destiny every makes a return to that feel (it won’t) I’ll get back into it

Too bad the game isn’t like destiny year 1

Destiny trailers have always been so well made. I wish the expansions were too.

They are, they don’t just consist of the primary campaign, they consist of all the seasonal content too.

​@NoDefiancebut the seasonal content is mid too. Take lightfall for example, both seasons are painfully average.

@Atharva ArjunwadkarYou are right tbh, though season of the deep is pretty awesome. Diving to the depths of a methane sea to fight off massive beasts, pretty fun.

​@Atharva ArjunwadkarI kind of disagree with Deep being average. I think it was above average, especially if we compare it to some of the lower tier seasons, like Undying and Worthy. It's no Arrivals or even Dawn for that matter, or Chosen. But, it's got some great story beats. I'm looking forward to the next season after the end of the season reveal, honestly.

Also, Taken King, Rise of Iron, Forsaken, and Witch Queen where all well made expansions.

It was hard to lose Cayde during that fateful mission. Hearing this almost brings a tear to my eyes.

He’s still dead

SAME HE BETTER COME BACK!

@Medium Rare Potatolet’s just say he’s half dead yeah?

Not gonna lie. Actually seeing that Cayde is coming back, in any capacity, makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. What a time to be alive.

With Nathan back as the voice no less

Cayde meeting Crow is going to be a historic moment.

He'd probably say something like " Ya know kid, by hunter standards, you're the vanguard now since you're technically uldren without all the evil jerkiness. Have fun I'M FREE "

@McDanklestank “that’s what we call the “vanguard dare”. Yeah, congratulations, dummy”

Nah it’ll probably be in a lore book

@McDanklestank Except we had a whole season about how Crow and Uldren aren't the same person.

I hope Cayde shoots him and when he respawns say “ok now we are even”..

Even as a warlock main seeing Cayde 6 again brings a tear to my eye.

No one better than Cayde to guide us into the beginning of the end, even if he’s only with us again for just a moment, I know we’ll appreciate every second. See you soon Cayde 👏🏼

Only the beginning of the end of the light and dark saga 😁 we’ve still got more to come !

He’ll be our guide in the new destination where The Witness fled to.

​@Dazaihe fled to ohio

With Final Shape it definitely will be the end!

@VGMasta they’ve already said it’s only the end of the light and dark saga

I teared up as my husband showed me this, cayde is one of my favorite characters and being a hunter myself this is even better!

This is something… I love the destiny universe and all it offers. Really hope our guardian has lots of catch up moments with Cayde and Ikora

I have never teared up so easily as I did seeing this trailer. So glad to see Cayde back!

just to hear how much Lance did before passing away, even in current seasons, and now seeing Nate coming back... this game has some true Legends between the voice actors that came along the way

Dude literally called him nate lol

The company needs money. So they are brining cayde back to attract customer and veterans of the franchise.

Umm ok. This just in for profit game developer makes content that people will want to buy.

It’s Nolan doing a Nathan impression

@Sir Santi confirmed its Nathan Fillion

The Feeling Of Destinys Light Era Coming To A Close Makes A Part of my life come to a close because bungie introduced me to halo reach which was my first fps game and then destiny stayed with me for years on end and now the end is near and i feel as if i must pay my homage to it even if my life gets more eventful, thank you destiny and thank you bungie for making this wonderful passion project.

"Destiny 2: The Final Shape - As a visual effects enthusiast, I am absolutely blown away by the stunning animations in this teaser! The level of detail, the intricate particle effects, and the mesmerizing world design are a testament to the incredible talent behind the scenes. Bungie has truly pushed the boundaries of visual storytelling, immersing us in a breathtaking universe filled with awe-inspiring spectacles. Every frame feels like a work of art, and I can't wait to witness the full glory of Destiny 2's visual extravaganza. Prepare to have your senses dazzled, Guardians! 🌟🚀

This may get me back into Destiny if my schedule allows. I felt like we strayed so far from what this franchise was supposed to be this past year. But I am glad to see someone so iconic return.

Destiny's cinematic experience never ceases to amaze me,outstanding work Bungie.

one of the only moments in gaming history that may actually make me cry

i fell bad for your gaming history

What about halo reach's last mission - survive -

I never lost hope that one day Cayde would return. And he did when we need him the most. RIP Lance and Welcome back Nathan

Nolan North*

@Arise Again  Nolan North voices Ghost and also Cayde but only in the Forsaken campaign. Nathan Fillion, the original voice of Cayde-6, has confirmed he is coming back to Destiny in The Final Shape.

@That one guy from taco bell I see that now! So glad hes back!

yeah, me too kiddo

I love cayde but he shoulda stayed dead. Forsaken’s story doesnt carry any weight anymore now, with both cayde and uldren being alive again. But I guess bungie had to bring a beloved character back when they keep writing trash characters like nimbus and shaw han

Man hearing the Destiny’s main theme tuning in towards the end, it’s nostalgic.

Honestly got teary eyed. Day 1 D1 to now player. Ive never invested this much time into a game series.

From the Beta to Final Shape, we have come a long way.

This gave me more chills than any other video I've seen in the last 6 months... breathtaking

The final chapter would not have been the same without him. This changes my expectations a lot. Unfortunately I don't think he'll be sticking around afterwards. I expect a great many hits right in the feels are coming, especially with Lance gone. This may be a hard campaign to finish, on an emotional level.

Im guessing they’re in a place where guardians go after they die so I’m assuming maybe OG vanguard squad is all going to go

@2Vatoit showed the rainbow pyramid entrance that was on the traveller in the place that they were in so I’m guessing we will go into the traveller and fallen guardians would rest in it

The destiny community holding together this strong after almost 10 years is a sight to behold welcome guardians to The Final Shape

Not much strength in this community. It is extremely toxic and almost always at each other's throats, many people who still play hate the game but are addicted.

​@Narnian Warrior none of us hate the game. Its literally a joke we make about hating the game and we'll never stop playing

I probably wont play this (because I just cant do destiny 2 like i used to), but damn it's been a long journey. o7 my fellow destiny fans

@Mr Xerxes Many of us hate the game actually. We hate that it is horribly unbalanced, they cut much of the most fun content, they try to hype people up by bringing back things we already paid for, and they are half-assing the seasonal stories (ESPECIALLY LAST SEASON.) This game has been steadily rolling off a cliff for the last two years and to say otherwise is just ignorant. Maybe you still like the game and that's good for you, I am happy that you get joy from it but the reality is that Bungie does not care anymore. They are in it for the money and nothing else, there is no passion anymore. Even with this new year on the way this first trailer shows that they will be relying on gimmicks again instead of anything with substance. There is so much more wrong with it beyond the small amount that I listed as well.

Game is dead

Its been hard trying to move on from his death, but seeing him again officially makes the fire inside grow again

Can't wait to play Destiny 2 again after 4 months without touching it. Cayde became one of my top characters in video games.

Cayde was truly chosen by the light an absolute legend to the community. Beloved by all the best vanguard to eve live.

Started in 2014, as 6 years-old kid, who loved this game, i met great friends, i was so happy always that i played D1, i buyed all DLC's and finished completely, my character close to perfection, and D2 i played with friends of my school who i dont talk with them a lot now... And this is the final of this, they'll change all Thanks Destiny.

The animation of them in the well of radiance was so badass. Good job to the team on this one 👌🏼

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Bungie needed this! I shifted to other games and missed Caydes season.

​@call to serve Is this from some lore book about cayde?

@¡i¡¡i no, it is from the bible

Anyone else got GOOSEBUMPS just by hearing the round chamber on the Ace of Spades?

Never played destiny, I plan to. This looks just amazing and I look forward onto starting a new journey in a new franchise. I’m honestly excited!

don’t, just don’t. It’s going downhill. Just wait for marathon and if it’s good, buy it

The issue is that a lot of content issadly missing now as well as the campaigns from back then and how it started D:

I've gotten so many chills down my body after seeing Cayde, him talking, and his gun clicks.

My theory is Cayde is really just a figment of whatever reality is inside the shape. Like the Ancestral Plains in Black Panther, maybe it’s a way for Cayde to act as a guide from beyond. I just wonder if this is inside the Traveler, or if the Traveler is being used a gate to another reality.

With Cayde possibly returning, and everything with Zavala, I can already tell my heart's gonna be kicked around a good bit with this one, for sure.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN POSSIBLY?! HES RIGHT THERE

It might not be the real cayde. You never know.

​@Paul Munozof course its not, he's probably cayde-7 now

@The Dualis Corporation LLChes not actually alive I reckon

I'm already calling it. This is some sort of heaven and she's the next to go.

Never thought I would see my favorite destiny 1 character again, I definitely want to see drifter and cayde interaction.

This was absolutely amazing 👏

Been waiting years for this! Finally! Any other hunters out there and literally crying their eyes out! Okay, not literally, that would just be weird!

I’ve personally always suspected that Cayde would return, but seeing this still warms my heart. My theory was that Crow would sacrifice himself to save Cayde (to go full circle), I guess that could still happen?

NEVER expected cayde to return, but very happy to see him return for the final shape

I am crying, I am screaming, I am jumping for joy. This is the small occasion that so many emotions run through my body. Cayde... best thing to ever come out of and live on in the Destiny franchise.

As a proud hunter main who aspired to even just the little bit of badass he was, I can't express how happy it is to see him back again😭

The moment I get to see cayde again I will be standing next to him with the hunter banner in my hands. He deserves a welcome back. I am a hunter by the name “Universal” if you see me next to cayde when the day comes please feel free to join me.

HE BACK! Welcome home Cayde! As someone who mains both a hunter and titan class i can happy say we missed you. And even if this is only for a short time we are gladly to fight along side with you again!

Never gonna forget those 14 years when i got my hands on halo 3 The first ever bungie game that's been played by me And then watching the destiny teasers in halo 3ODST Those years were fun But the most of my nostalgia goes to the destiny alpha gameplay vids-year 3 And forsaken was the most fun but i still don't feel any sorta nostalgia towards it but i loved it tho

THIS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND I LOVE IT!! Good job bungie you’ve blown my mind yet again.

BOT COMMENT, 263 likes in 10 minutes, FAKE FAN...

@Francis O'Mahoney Bro trying to be different so bad

I can’t be the only one that this teaser gave chills to

I knew for years we would see his return. This makes me so happy ❤ now to wonder why he still has his old memories though. (I haven't played the most recent season)

They knew people were beginning to leave and fed up with the boring content and retcon that they do to pad their releases, so they do this.

How is this already Destiny's top twenty most viewed videos? You already know this DLC will be insane, and I can't wait 😎 P.S: Glad Nathan's back as Cayde-6 baby!

it was so bad had to re-watch to make sure i wasnt trippin

We all know how. It's that thumbnail.

I am literally so excited, I have been waiting and hoping for this moment for so long!!!

I didn’t think about it until just now, but Zavala not being there with them is worrying me. I know Lance passed away, but that only left his character’s fate up in the air. Zavala’s absence for what could have felt like the three Vanguard’s reunion is a grim sign considering it already being speculated that he may be killed off.

lanced reddick has passed away man, what else can they do

​@Umayr SurtiBring Keith David in.

As a Hunter, it feels good to see a legend return, though I feel it may be temporary, or he'll be the sort of vendor character for wherever we'll be in the next expansion. Cool to see or hear Nathan Fillion back, too. We definitely needed cheering up the last few months.

​@Breezy No, that is definitely Nathan Fillion. The difference between him and Nolan's performance as Cayde isn't hard to find.

I played in the red war, stopped, and started again around last week, loved Cayde, heard he died, that was sad, this is exciting, I'm also a hunter, glad it seems he's gonna return

@Breezy Bungie confirmed, it’s Nathan.

I wonder if Nathan Fillion wasn't planning on returning, but then Lance Reddick died and he figured it was a good tribute.

​@Mintzthese are prerecorded by a long shot so no...

I told myself nothing short of Cayde returning would bring me back to Destiny, and now here he is....welcome back old friend, you've been missed!

This expansion better be the 10/10 moment Destiny needs, if it’s not, Destiny is over for me.

This gave me chills. I miss Cayde! But how is he returning ?!

I considered cayde like a father figure and was one of the things that made my life happy besides my grandparents I'm beyond happy he's back

The fact that I was sat in a Cafe originally when this came out with my dad mom and grandparents and my dad passed me his phone because unbeknownst to me this trailer dropped and told my grandparents and mom to watch my reaction as I was watching it truly means something, I played d1 a short while when it first came out when I was younger then returned to d2 when shadowkeep dropped meaning I wasn't there fully for caydes presence but I adored him either way and when he died as I played through forsaken I cried myself to sleep that night, to see him back I can say I was absolutely gobsmacked and on the brink of crying in the middle of the Cafe, I started to dislike playing destiny but if anythings making me pull through for the final shape dlc and possibly content after that it's caydes return

Oh my god seeing and hearing Cayde just brought back a WHIRLWIND of emotions! We get our Vanguard back, Hunters!

No

Vanguard letsgoo

Bro relax lol it’s not that serious

@SLIM About time yall did! Even though I'm a titan, I love Cayde

I've said pretty much the same thing to my clan just now. I feel so emotional 😭😭😭😭 this could honestly be the only reason I buy the next dlc...this one has been quite meh so far.

I'm tearing up, I can't believe he is back.

I’ve watched this 10 times and it still blows my mind! It’s all come down to this

I can't wait this is GANA be the best story expansion ever 🔥 cayde-6 meeting grow stupendous

Nathan is just such a key component of Sci-Fi these days I am always surprised if he is not the default actor for many roles. Like I was surprised when he wasn't in the Expanse series.

I have a bitter sweet excitement. I know this expansion is going to pull my heartstrings unlike anything else. It's been an incredible decade

Dunno about incredible but it was definitely something. Can't wait to see what Bungie does after this.

@887BingoIt’s not ending after this.

It sure has been. Some may not have had the same experience as me in destiny. But it's been countless good memories for me. "Incredible" is putting it lightly. I've sunk the most amount of time into the destiny games over all other games I've played.

We'll see, Bungie really took the wind out of sails of the story with Lightfall.

@Trevor Hecht Eh, tbh Lightfall was just a filler. All the actual story moved to Final Shape.

I was 11 when destiny came out. Always wanted to play it but I was to poor to afford a gaming console. When I first started playing back in Season of the Lost, I was ecstatic. I know I wasn’t there when I started, but I will be there to see it end

Cayde. You were missed so much. I'm so glad he's coming back 🔥

To see my Vanguard leader again is bringing me to tears. Man I missed him so much 🥲

NGL teared up a bit hearing his voice again. It will be awesome to see how they bring him back.

Honestly mad respect for Nathan so glad to see him take the mantle again and play Cayde. Interesting move on Bungie ❤. I would be nice to have the old fireteam together again. I’m just thinking about Zavala. My sincerest condolences to the family. I know a short moment has passed but he is never forgotten. I wonder how the final shape is going to me molded.

Is it really Nathan's voice or computer generated? They used the same thing for Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader last year. We all miss Lance Reddick & I wish he'd never gotten any of those evil jabs. I met him at Seattle Comic Con years ago before I began playing Destiny and he was such an incredibly nice man. If Bungie uses the computer generated voice for Zavala in the future I hope his family gets royalties.

Literally they knew they couldn't do anything with just Ikora, so they had to put cause back to fix it. Honestly I stopped playing d2 bc he was gone. But now he coming back, I think Bungie made the right choice.

​@Richard Pace Never turn your back on family😂

So Zavala dies then

@Richard Pace elaborate on evil jabs

It's safe to say, no one is mad at this. Glad he's back, still one of my favor character's in any game.

im mad

Same here. Seems gimmicky to bring back Cayde coincidentally at a time the game's narrative is so bad

@Tristan T no, I get it!! But, they shouldn't have killed him in the first place.

reviving good characters whose deaths were meaningful and fundamental in shaping the current timeline kind of shits on the character's legend as a whole

@Tristan T Ontop of the fact that there is something different, and Sundance is not present. There is a reason for this; and he looks almost fully light infused. It’s not outside the realm of possibility they’re inside whatever portal The Witness created and Cayde may be “living on” within the light there.

So, the Traveler is basically Guardian Heaven? If so, the Witness is gonna have in hell of a fight, what with a bunch of zombie guardians. Also, the essence coming off Cayde looks like “pure light”, similar to Travler’s Chosen. Still, very happy to see Cayde come back

This brought me back hope for destiny 2, I might start playing again

Given that this is the final chapter in the story of light and dark, he couldn't miss it.

Cayde is now able to do what he always wanted to do. A hunter being out in the wild!

We all take a moment of silence to express our deepest gratitude for Cayde-6, our beloved Hunter Hero. He’s finally coming back to us

Would it be Cayde-7?

HES BACCKKKKKK 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@M0e Jo3 no, he clearly remembers the past so he cant be cayde-7. what if he himself was revived by the traveler personally? that would kinda explain the glowing eyes and gun as if he was overflowing with light. the first guardian ghost maybe?

@Saber That makes sense. I couldn't remember how Exo's fully work except the higher number thing. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I just glad he is back. It also make sense with the sad passing of Lance Reddick. R.I.P.

​@Saber traveller can't bring anybody back or create ghosts anymore after the witness opened that portal. Even your ghost mentioned it lost its connection to the traveller but not the light so that's out of the question. I'm guessing it'll have something to do with a later season, probably going back to Europa somewhere with deepstone.

I wasn't there to see him die but i am sure as hell excited to see him back

My current theory is that every guardian who has ever fully died goes to a "heaven" type place within the traveler which is where they found cayde-6, my main reason is because in the end of the trailer the triangle portal does not hove the traveler behind it like it does in game

I wish I was into destiny as much as I was invested in D1. At the same time I’m happy I’m not grinding every season. Good times. I keep up by watching the trailer and in-game cinematics now

My jaw just dropped when the gun chambered knowing exactly what was bout to go down 🤣

Just imagine how much resources it took for bungie to make this teaser, not to mention their tight schedule! Huge respect for bungie

Yeah. That's a point of view I wish everyone had. Instead, everyone is saying Bungie has straight abandoned Destiny 2

Cgi does cost money

@MRbug i was being sarcastic

@Darkmondayll idc

Ace of spade is being held together with energy , damn this hits hard the best hunter ever is back, I hope this time they don’t kill him off again

Also his eyes have it too

His whole body has that energy too, not just Ace

He's been partially taken like Sloan.

​@Borderlandish 1 his consciousness is inside the veil, not taken

Not Best hunter only the best of them all 3

I really hope Final Shape isn't set solely in the Valley. I think the culmination of the first ten years should include missions to several planets. Like a Europa mission, a Mars mission, an Earth mission, a Lunar mission. Perhaps even bring Venus back. But yeah a big long campaign that includes a bit of everything while also including this new land.

man i'm so excited for that story line. hope it's better than lightfall.

I am in TEARS! So freaking happy! But I do have a thought— Who’s gonna tell him that we found all his secret caches…and like…took stuff…omg he’s gonna want all his stuff back isn’t he

I just hope they do this character well with his return

Could the Final Shape truly be an entire open world adventure at last?! Not likely but also, since Cayde's back, can we get the Speaker to return as well?! Just a thought!

With this being the end for current destiny they might give us a huge destination for the final expansion.

The original theme for Destiny playing at 0:53 is definitely the best addition to this.

watch them make it the main title theme for the dlc

@ItMeDedgun Would be sick but also I'd love it to be Journey

FRAUD COMMENT, IGNORE.

This is perfect. Cayde-6 was always the best, and there was a huge loss for the community when he died. Although, I was looking forward to Crow becoming the new Hunter Vanguard. That position has been vacant for too long

5 or so years ago, I picked up Loaded Question. Soon, I'll finally see Cayde around, and finally have my chance to tell him his gun's ready.

Cayde to Bungie: “You couldn't live with your own failure. Where did that bring you, back to me” 👊

It almost feels like Ikora is speaking for all the Guardians who missed Cayde, and it feels like he's responding to them. "Yeah me too kiddo, but I'm here now." The RELIEF omfg, somehow things feel like they're gonna be okay now. I loved the throwback to the original Destiny opening. I think this is their grand close before they start a new adventure entirely, whether it's a new game or a new chapter of Destiny.

although it was a short cinematic, it was BEAUTIFUL. This the type of quality bungee should always be giving not to mention caydes return??🙀

When I saw this trailer a few minutes ago while getting changed out of my gym clothes, as soon as Cayde appeared I gave that same look I’d give to a childhood friend I haven’t seen in years. Welcome back Cayde. To say that you were missed would be the biggest understatement of the year.

bro fr

I literally cried when I saw it was him.

Same

But, we all had to know you work out.

Wait ikora dies and now is in the traveler heaven or wth that is

Dang hes back, thats amazing. Kinda intense seeing him acting so intense and serious, i wonder if were getting a different kind of cayde

So, if light and darkness are both forms of what you could considered universal life essence that can keep souls' bound by their own willpower. Is it possible that those same powers can force someone's souls and body back together with enough energy? Maybe inside the traveler world so potent with power that it could bring back anything with recollection of all things and memories of every living thing that the light and darkness has touched? Almost like a saved universal backup storage. Maybe we might get the good ol' days of Destiny 1 back!!! :p

Now that you've got Nathan Fillion back, can you ask him to do an audio recording of "Bad Beat" from the lore. It means a lot to me and I'm sure so many others. Who doesn't want to strive to be the best version of themselves. Thank you, Bungie.

So excited! Everything these 9-10 years has been leading to this. What a journey. I wasn’t expecting a Final Shape teaser so soon, and I certainly wasn’t expecting the return of the Legend Cayde. Looks like Final Shape will be quite interesting, we’ll see where these Lightfall Seasons lead us. It’s too bad we may not have much of Lance to finish it with us however.

He was a legend so enjoy him while we can we only have these few seasons left then it’s just nothing new but memories

@Walter White Indeed. He brought Zavala to life, I’ll never forget that performance. I’m happy we get more of him this Season.

@Walter White wait are they gunna stop making destiny😢

@Charlie Stephensonat some point obviously, everything ends at some point. but this is the final confirmed expansion for the games 10 year contract

@Charlie Stephenson no they still have plans after final shape this is just the end to the light vs dark saga

As a beta player man that’s cool to see ❤

as a retired player, i've never felt so excited about this game in such a long time.

Bungie, haven’t played destiny in a while. I would love to get back into the game if you make it worth it. So make this dlc the best you’ve ever done.

Is it just me or is he emanating some taken energy inside him? I guess it sort of make sense if this is his mind shaping itself into something?

Is not taking is Light
