Picture by way of Bungie

The watch for Future 2: Lightfall is nearly over, and as is custom, Bungie has launched a ViDoc video providing followers simply sufficient to chew on for the week or two earlier than it releases. 

Builders took a deep dive into the upcoming growth’s setting – a neon-soaked cyberpunk metropolis on Neptune known as Neomuna, and in addition talked about a few of its denizens, particularly – a bunch known as the Cloud Striders.

Over the course of the growth, we’ll meet two of those Cloud Striders – Nimbus and Rohan, the previous of whom is the non-binary apprentice of the latter. Right here’s how Bungie’s Liz Baker and Nix Kinney describe them:

“Rohan is the grizzled previous veteran who’s too previous for this sh*t, and Nimbus is the younger rookie, studying on the job. Nimbus was undoubtedly a favourite of ours to animate, they’re so boisterous and fun-loving, and a bit of smug, however tremendous assured of their skills. The Cloud Striders, backside line, are ******* cool.”

You’ll be able to see Nimbus and Rohan in motion within the under video, and the pair are certainly a few of the coolest characters to be launched into Future for fairly a while. They’re extraordinarily agile and colourful and fly round on hoverboards because the defenders of a neon metropolis. What’s to not love? Certain, we’re lastly dealing with off towards the Witness, the large unhealthy that Bungie has been increase for nearly a decade, nevertheless it’s nonetheless good to see some selection (and broad illustration) in what’s most of the time a grimdark sport.

Those who have witnessed the closing moments of Future 2’s Season of the Seraph know that the stakes have by no means been larger for the Final Metropolis, its Guardians, the Traveler, and the whole Sol system. Because of this, it appears like Lightfall is about to probably be essentially the most action-packed Future growth for the reason that days of The Taken King and the since-removed Purple Battle marketing campaign which Future 2 shipped with. 

Add to {that a} refreshingly colourful locale to discover, and insane mobility because of the brand new Strand subclass, Future 2: Lightfall is hopefully shaping as much as be one thing actually particular. The growth releases on Feb. 28, 2023, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Sequence S/X, and PC.
