Theres some rumour going around about the DLC#2.

I believe is false, because my own theory is different ( Caide = Rasputin), but I will share it here anyway:


Expansion 2 is apparently titled Heralds of Nezarec
The setting takes place on Enceladus, featuring a new destination, story campaign, and 3 strikes.
The storyline revolves around a massive ship that has crashed on Enceladus's Frigid Wastes, which has apparently released a dark force onto the planet.
Guardians will work alongside Ana Bray, as they attempt to find the source of the dark incursion.
Rasputin plays a major role in the expansion's story, as he is warring with this dark force on Enceladus.
Two new enemy races: Frames and Heralds
It seems as if an entity called Nezarec is the main antagonist of the expansion.
10 New story missions.
3 New strikes: Sanctum of Darkness, Bal'zoth's March, and Rasputin's Defense.
Enceladus's main environment takes place within the Frigid Wastes. Additionally, it seems as if Guardians will infiltrate the Herald's ship, known as "The Anomaly."
There's also a new raid lair within the Leviathan titled "Prison of Nightmares," taking place entirely within Calus's nightmare realm from the Leviathan raid. It seems as if we'll be facing Psion and Fallen enemies, with the final boss being Freeborn Otzot. The storyline seems to lead to the events of another major expansion, or Destiny 3. Based on what we've datamined, the expansion's storyline is definitely about the Darkness - which has come sooner rather than later.


So we will have frames has enemies, a new lair ..... and perhaps a new race? I don't see mention about Shavathon, but thats DLC#3, I think.

Weird, I saw this same info in the form of crappy jpgs on Facebook...

Wafflepost:

- Nezarec sounds like a Psion judging by the shape of his face
- Frames aren't a 'new' race!! They've been with us since the beginning...
- Frigid Wastes sound fun. Like a place to go mudding. It also at a glance sounds like it's something of a homage to The Borealis, which we may never see in this timeline.
- I remember Otzot from the Cabal Booklet from the Collector's Edition. I wonder if this means whether we will finally SUCCEED.
- Excited to talk to Ana Bray, she may answer a lot of questions I have
- It will also be good to hear from my favorite ballet fan again. Rasputin is a very clever machine
- Three strikes and a new play area will be welcome. "Wastes" evokes a very large, open area, which would be fun to Sparrow around in.
- Having three "zones" to the raid lair is going to be very interesting, as well. I don't THINK the Underbelly would allow for you to run them back-to-back, but...that would be crazy to seamlessly marathon all three raid sections.

I think we're going to see our first of the Pyramid People.

Also, on Rasputin: I imagine that after a certain amount of time spent as an omniscient god-intellect probing the secrets of reality's fabric, whether you're manmade or otherwise, your prior "contemporary" understanding of morality structures/reality gets formatted in lieu of learning a whole new set of ballgames. We Guardians are but tools for physical violence, and the Ballet Fan's bets are currently hedged on things we likely don't understand yet, because he can see much, much further than we can with our little immortal eyes.

He has his own rules and games he's playing by as he grows stronger again.

Pretty sure he's on our side still. After we connected the Io warmind vault to the network and scanned the all-mighty he realised he can't just sit there doing nothing because the whole solar system almost got nuked. There can be no peace by pretending there is no war.

We'll probably be seeing a LOT more of Savathun in the whole of the D2 arc from the looks of it.
We wrecked her brothersister's face so hard in D1 that its corpse probably still has spin impulse on it from my Celestial Nighthawk's impact as it sinks into the gas eddies of Saturn proper.

I haven't spent a cent in D2 micro transactions and I've enjoyed basically everything the game has to offer. I'm literally overflowing with unused shaders and cosmetic mods on two characters. The only thing I find remotely tedious is looping public areas for materials and chest drops for Mercury weapons.

It's indirectly responsible for a lot of the things that feel like steps down from Destiny 1.

Also "literally overflowing" is a bad place to be and it's going to get really annoying before too long.
