Bungie’s Twitch stream to feature exclusive Destiny 2 emblem

In addition to seeing the new details in real-time, Destiny 2 players will want to watch the stream live for its Twitch Drops. Anyone who watches at least 30 minutes of the broadcast will gain access to an exclusive emblem.

What to expect from Destiny 2’s 2023 showcase

Most notably, viewers can expect Bungie to finally offer a deep dive into the Destiny 2: The Final Shape expansion. This hotly-anticipated chapter marks the end of the sequel’s currently ongoing story arc.

Bungie uploaded a minute-long teaser trailer back in May, which reflected on past events and confirmed Cayde-6’s return. The beloved character didn’t live through the end of 2018’s Forsaken expansion. Somehow, he’s being brought back.

Whether or not this mystery and others will be revealed during Destiny 2’s forthcoming showcase is anyone’s guess. But based on the 2022 showcase, it’s possible Bungie plans on unveiling The Final Shape’s release date and whatever new gameplay mechanics sit on the horizon.

That’s all we know about the Destiny 2023 showcase, thus far. For more on the game check out our other guides:
