These transformations aim to provide players with clearer gameplay mechanics, as detailed in a recent Bungie blog post. The enhancements include improvements in flinch resistance, healing, and cooldown abilities, promising a refined gaming experience.
Overall, Bungie aspires for Edge of Fate to represent a new evolution within the Destiny universe, presenting fans with an ambitious roadmap for the upcoming year. Expect major updates, new content, and more activities as the expansion unfolds.
