What do we know about Destiny 2's Cayde-6 comeback?
Voiced by Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle), Exo Hunter Cayde-6 left the realm of the living back in 2018, after being killed as part of the Forsaken expansion.
While Bungie previously assured fans that the character would remain dead, it's great to see Cayde return after six years away. No doubt this will be an impactful reunion.
The circumstances regarding Cayde's return are not clear - however, it appears that the Final Shape is messing with reality as they quip: "I’m here now. Wherever the hell 'here' is."
With a reassuring round chambered in Cayde’s signature Ace of Spades, we’re just glad to have the former Vanguard leader back by our sides to face all of the new challenges.
Is there a Destiny 2: The Final Shape trailer?
The first teaser trailer for Destiny 2: The Final Shape was revealed in May 2023.
It begins with Warlock Vanguard Ikora Rey recounting the activities of Destiny over the past few years.
They highlight how the group has "slain gods" and "vanquished nightmares" and fought "alongside those who we once fought against", before mentioning what it would be like to have Cayde-6 back.
The camera pans up from a campfire to reveal Cayde-6, who was presumed dead. They express their wish that they could’ve been there too.
The trailer cuts to a shot of them on the edge of a cliff, overlooking a suitably Middle-Earth-looking landscape with an ominous triangle in the sky.
The official reveal trailer for Destiny 2: Into the Light was then unveiled in August 2023.
We see all of the guardians coming together for what appears to be one final fight, including members from The Witch Queen, Lightfall and the return of Cayde-6. Ikora Rey then asks all guardians to "rise" one last time. It's certainly got an epic feel about it. Watch below:
