The campaign will take players to the Reef – and for some of us, back to it – where they’ll be embarking on an epic adventure to honor a fallen hero, Cayde-6.

This led to the idea of the Guardian making a choice and seeking revenge. Development Įarly on, the developers decided that for Forsaken, they wanted to tell a story with high stakes, but make it personal. The expansion delves into the backstory of the Awoken, while Variks will play a role in the narrative. After doing this, players receive access to the expansion's finale, where they confront Uldren. The missions consist of hunting down the Scorn Barons.

The expansion's plot is non-linear, and its missions can be tackled in any order. In the campaign, the Guardian must work alongside Petra Venj and The Spider to hunt down the eight Barons who lead the Scorn, culminating in the discovery of the mysterious Awoken homeland known as the Dreaming City. Cayde-6 has been murdered by Uldren, and it is up to the Guardian to avenge his death.

The story revolves around a massive Fallen breakout from the Prison of Elders by a house of rogue undead Fallen pirates known as the Scorn, who are led by Uldren Sov, former prince and traitor to the Reef. Explore new regions, awaken new powers, earn a wealth of new weapons, and uncover lost Awoken secrets.

Beyond the Vanguard’s authority, you’ll venture into the Reef alone and take justice into your own hands. Facing insurmountable odds, Cayde-6 ends up paying the ultimate price. You and Cayde-6 have been sent in to bring law and order back to the embattled facility, but things do not go to plan. The Reef has fallen to lawlessness, and now the most-wanted criminals in the galaxy - the Barons & Uldren Sov - have organized a jailbreak at the Prison of Elders.
