The story

Delve into Savathûn’s Throne World to uncover the mystery of how she and her Lucent Hive stole the Light. Learn the secrets to crafting new weapons, the new Glaive, and survive the truth within her web of lies.

What it’s like

Sleek, saturated sci-fi with bioluminescent greens and violet glow against the dark, flashing muzzle light and gleaming Guardian armour set against Savathûn's Throne World, a sickly, organic realm of webbed spires, gnarled hive architecture and eerie chittering sound. Its score is brooding and orchestral with sudden swells, while gunfire and the Glaive's whine give the combat a crisp, weighty snap. The mood is dark, mysterious and tense, with a dread that mostly lives in atmosphere rather than gore; combat is frequent and fast, with stylised violence and no real gore, and the story is told through cutscenes, lore-heavy dialogue and sinister whispers. Pacing swings between sprawling open exploration and bursts of intense firefights, with a steady rhythm of loot, crafting and progression. It suits long evening sessions with friends, a focused solo grind, or anyone who likes atmospheric sci-fi tension. It is for players who want deep crafting systems, layered lore and co-op shooting in a gloomy, otherworldly setting.
