Following the announcement that The Ultimate Form received postponed, Bungie has slowly been cooking a free interim content material drop, Future 2: Into the Gentle. Drenched in nostalgia, Into the Gentle has a slew of returning content material, however an all-new set of Future 1-inspired armor isn’t on the docket in spite of everything.

This clarification comes after the most recent TWID weblog put up, the place Bungie stated that its subsequent Future 2: Into the Gentle livestream – slated for March 26, 10 AM PT – would talk about the all-new Courageous weapon set, which can or could not embrace sure Black Armory weapons, the discharge of a completely new social area, and units of “Future 1-inspired armor and extra.”

This assertion, naturally, instantly thrilled some gamers, who had been hoping that the unique sport’s legendary showcase armor units would lastly make their method into Future 2. Not the case, nonetheless, as Bungie subsequently issued a correction of the assertion explaining what was truly meant.

No Future 1-themed armor for Into the Gentle, Bungie says

“Fast correction to the TWID,” says a Reddit put up from the Destiny2Team account. “The upcoming armor set for Future 2: Into the Gentle is just not impressed straight by Future 1 armor, however early armor ideas from 12 months 1 of Future 2. Sorry for the mix-up! We’ll exhibit the armor and extra within the developer stream subsequent week.”

For followers of the extra sci-fi aesthetic of the unique Future, this got here as disappointing information, but it surely does make sense within the grand scheme of issues. The armor units in query, which could be seen in practically all the Into the Gentle promotional supplies, seem to be the stylistic evolution of the outdated yr 1 armor units that Future 2 gamers used earlier than the Pink Battle. So, general, it seems to have been a easy mistake that received taken out of context, but it surely’s nonetheless a tad disappointing if you happen to’re a fan of the (arguably) extra grounded aesthetic of the unique title.

The provision of customized new armor is only one miniscule side of Into the Gentle as an entire, nonetheless. The Courageous weapon set, for one, is extraordinarily thrilling because it seems to incorporate a number of the sport’s hottest outdated weapons, lots of which had been sundown again within the day. Additional, the replace’s Onslaught sport mode is a veritable horde mode that gamers have been asking for all alongside, so it ought to give gamers one thing to do whereas they look ahead to The Ultimate Form to get rolled out correctly.

If nothing else, it’s going to be an fascinating time for Future and Bungie as an entire, as the corporate appears to be going via vital turmoil within the background. Even Bungie’s upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon, isn’t precluded from the problems, because it had reportedly pivoted in the direction of being a hero shooter, of all issues.
