Following-up the big reveal of the upcomingThe Final ShapeDLC, Bungie unveiled Season of the Witch inDestiny 2. This seasonal batch of content brings some interesting new gameplay and gear, as well as some interesting new lore. One particularly notable highlight came about as part ofthe latest Veil Containment mission, wherein Osiris elegantly connected some of the game’s latest story beats with Bungie’s first officialDestinyARG: the Alpha Lupi.
Bungie’s attempt at bringing Alpha Lupi back into relevance
Asplainly outlinedby Redditor Elitegamez11 on the biggestDestinylore discussion subreddit, the new Season 22 Veil Containment mission explained how the Witness opened the ominous triangle-shaped portal in front of the Traveler. Specifically, Osiris’ latest telemetry suggests that the Witness has opened a gateway directly into the Traveler’s mind. Now it’s presumably doing something ominous to bring its plans to fruition. Another Redditor, jamesjamez69, noted that this meansThe Final Shapewould likely take Guardians through the dreams of Alpha Lupi.
Alpha Lupi is a relatively obscure name for the Traveler itself. While Bungie ended up scraping information about its old Alpha Lupi ARG a few years back,the unofficial Destinypedia pagestill holds records as to how the whole shindig went down. In short, the ARG consisted of numerous cryptic messages and poems.Destinyfans haven’t really known what to make of this information since.
Now, it seems the dreams of Alpha Lupi are what Guardians will explore over the course ofThe Final Shape. We don’t know if Bungie will deliver with the game’s 2024 DLC release, of course. But this small throwback should hopefully excite oldDestinyveterans.
