Surprisingly, the character Cayde-6 is set to return to Destiny 2 in the upcoming expansion, The Final Shape, despite his notable death in the earlier Forsaken expansion.

Who Is Cayde-6?
Cayde-6 is a beloved Destiny 2 character known for his charisma, humor, and being the daring Hunter Vanguard. Voiced by actors Nathan Fillion and Nolan North, Cayde-6 quickly became a fan favorite due to his unique personality traits and role within the game. However, in the “Forsaken” expansion, his story took a tragic turn. In a cinematic event that shocked players worldwide, Cayde-6 met his end at the hands of Uldren Sov, the brother of Queen Mara Sov of the Reef. Uldren killed Cayde’s Ghost, making him mortal, before shooting him point-blank, a death that held major implications for the game’s story and set the tone for the “Forsaken” expansion.
The Final Shape DLC Teaser
Promotion for D2’s last installment of the Light and Darkness saga has already begun, despite the recent launch of the Lightfall expansion. Cayde-6’s resurrection is a big reveal. Although we still don’t know whether it’ll be temporal or permanent. The exciting part is that he will return with his original voice actor, Nathan Fillion, who hadn’t been able to do so in Forsaken.
The teaser trailer reveals Cayde holding his Ace of Spades with a mysterious green glow in his eyes. Also, we see Ikora wishing for Cayde to have been present during their previous adventures. The speculation is that this occurs inside a portal that the Witness cut into the Traveler, but the exact location remains a mystery. The landscape seems oddly normal and doesn’t match any known Destiny location.
There are theories that this could be a sort of afterlife for dead Guardians and their ghosts, but why would only Cayde be there? Many questions still need to be answered, like how Ikora arrived at this location, especially after a Titan was shown being destroyed attempting to enter the portal.
While seeing Fillion’s Cayde return brings a sense of nostalgia, it raises concerns about the narrative impact, considering Destiny’s ongoing struggle with making death consequential within the storyline. Cayde’s death was pivotal in the franchise, and its reversal may change its significance. Even though he’s back for this expansion, it’s uncertain whether he can return to actual life.
The Future Of A Franchise
All these intriguing developments leave fans eagerly awaiting the Final Shape showcase on August 22, 2023, approximately six months before the expansion’s release. Speculation about the future of Destiny after this expansion is also rampant.
Loyal fans of Destiny are eager to see how these new developments unfold and what they mean for the game’s future. Is Cayde’s return temporary or permanent? How will this change the dynamics of the game? With all the unanswered questions, one thing is for sure, Destiny 2 continues to keep its players on their toes as they await the upcoming reveal event.
So, mark your calendars for August 22, 2023. The big Final Shape showcase promises to answer our burning questions and introduce thrilling new elements to the game. Until then, let’s enjoy the journey and keep our speculations running!
