Back at Gamescom, Bungie bosses assured me Destiny 2: Shadowkeep would move the franchise’s overarching story forward in a meaningful way. It looks like they were right!
Shadowkeep’s short set of opening missions, designed to reintroduce players to its reprised Moon location, begin with a whopper of a surprise. And, relatively quickly afterwards, they end with quite a tease for where things will go next.
If you’re still reading this and don’t want to be spoiled, this is your final warning.
Pyramid ships! Or , singular. There’s one right there, hidden away underneath the surface of the Moon, and you find it in a stunning moment early in Shadowkeep’s story. Turning the corner to see it is a massive shocker and perfectly played by Bungie. The accompanying blast of the Darkness’ musical leitmotif only serves to reinforce the stomach drop moment.
If you need a reminder, it’s at the 16:00 mark in the video below:

Destiny fans have been waiting to see a pyramid ship up close for years – since they first popped up in Destiny 1 concept art. It wasn’t until the very end of Destiny 2’s Red War campaign we got a glimpse of them in-game.
