Destiny 2 May Have Just Given A Hint About What's After The Final Shape

The conclusion of the Season of the Witch's story could be setting up one of Destiny 2's upcoming Episodes.

Destiny 2's upcoming expansion, The Final Shape, marks a watershed moment for the game. It'll bring to an end the game's current, long-running story, the «Light and Darkness Saga,» a story Bungie has been telling since the release of the original Destiny back in 2014. But the end of the saga isn't the end of Destiny 2, and with the conclusion of the story in Destiny 2's current season, the Season of the Witch, we might have gotten a substantial hint of what we can expect in 2024.
Though the Season of the Witch isn't over, its main story quest, The Bladed Path, came to a conclusion this week with a new mission. The final mission of that quest pointed to where Destiny 2 is likely headed next as it ramps up for The Final Shape, but it also left some dangling story threads that seem less likely to be tied off in the next season or the expansion itself.

However, Bungie has already provided an idea of where these particular threads might weave together next year.
Spoilers for the Season of the Witch's story follow, including its conclusion.
Throughout the Season of the Witch, the goal has been for Eris Morn, the resident Hive expert of Destiny 2's good guys, the Vanguard, to use the Hive's own magic against it. Players have been killing enemies in the season's activities, and by using Hive rituals, conveying the power of the things they kill to Eris. That allowed Eris to turn herself into one of the Hive's gods, her plan being to use her new power to destroy Xivu Arath, the Hive's God of War.
Destiny's characters have had trouble fighting Xivu Arath before because of the nature of how the Hive and their immortality work. As the God of War, Xivu Arath is empowered by all warfare, not just battles where she's victorious. That created a «whoever wins, we lose» situation for the Vanguard, as seen last year in the Season of the Seraph, when Rasputin--the AI that controlled Earth's powerful orbital defenses--had to sacrifice itself and destroying its weapons rather than using them to destroy Xivu Arath's forces.
Rather than fall into Xivu's warfare trap, Eris used her power in a different way: She severed Xivu Arath's connection to her «Throne World,» the source of her immortality. That didn't destroy Xivu Arath outright, which was the plan for this season, but it did leave her mortal and vulnerable.
