As I’ve been making an attempt to clarify to you since I began right here Ben, Destiny’s lore is truly good. Which is what makes the inconsistency of the in-game storytelling so painful. Anyway, Bungie has introduced a lore compendium known as the Destiny Grimoire Anthology — a sequence of bodily books that can «weave tales from a number of sources collectively» to inform the universe’s backstory.
It appears just like the playing cards from the unique Destiny’s infamous Grimoire would be the main sources, however the phrase «a number of» suggests there could also be others — maybe merchandise flavour textual content or lore tabs.
For extra epic adventures out and in of house, take a look at the best MMOs on PC.
The first quantity is subtitled Dark Mirror. The preview photographs clarify that it’ll comprise The Books of Sorrow — a sequence of grimoire playing cards in regards to the Hive and the creation of Oryx, The Taken King. You can learn all of them on-line at DestinyDB (click here) and comparable Destiny database websites, however the e book does comprise some beautiful unique artwork — on this case, Oryx confronting the Worm God Akka within the Deep.
Volume I is offered to pre-order now on the Bungie Store, and can ship this autumn. If you decide it up, you will additionally get a code for an unique in-game emblem in Destiny 2. At $24.99, the value is substantial, and it is solely 128 pages, with the clear intention to ship additional volumes telling completely different tales. The retailer web page says:

YouTubers like Byf and Myelin have accomplished rather a lot to unfold consciousness of the standard of Destiny’s lore, and it is nice that Bungie is lastly choosing up on this. If you have not learn any of the grimoire and you are not postpone by the value, this might be a well-presented assortment of some glorious darkish sci-fi brief tales.
Personally although it is stuff I’ve learn earlier than, so I’m hoping it is solely the primary of many initiatives to counterpoint Destiny’s story, each in-game and out. I’d be down for a few novels, Bungie — simply saying.
