I'm concerned about Beyond Light.

I'm seeing some red flags. When Forsaken was revealed 2 years ago, it wasted no time revealing a new Mode which was Gambit, not 1 but 2 locations, what we could expect from the Raid, the new weapon models and armor, the new supers AND BOWS. Frickin' bows. This was all on June 5 of 2018. It's now July 6th and we know little to nothing about Beyond Lights content offering. We have very little gameplay, a potentially misleading look at the new subclasses, no examples about how "highly customizable" luke says they will be. We know nothing about the Raid or new location exploration, all weapons and armor shown in the Beyond light trailer were from previous seasons, and the biggest kicker? [b]We don't get a new Enemy race.[/b] Just yet another reskin of Fallen. I don't like how Bungie is manipulating the events of the games narrative so they align in a way that lets them reskin enemies. Taken. Siva. Frozen Hive, Scorn, Nightmares, and now Dark Fallen because apparently the Scorn weren't already that and we need another iteration. I'm thinking about a Siva fallen, a Taken Fallen, A Scorn, and now Dark Fallen all in one room and I'm just laughing and half crying at the same time. I really want Beyond Light to be amazing but Bungies behavior has been concerning (did you see how Luke and Mark were sounding?! Their tone and body language?!) and the narrative is losing momentum. Still no Vidoc. I am concerned. Edit: Not really hurt about there not being a new race, I know it wouldn't make sense because the Pyramids are sentient. There is no Traveler race so there is no Pyramid race. Edit 2: Someone mentioned that Covid-19 has most likely impacted Bungies ability to get everyone together to do a vidoc, which while not Bungies fault, is still very concerning. Even Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed to Novemeber...

    Forsaken kind of pulled a Game of thrones move killing off a main character to get people interested again in a dying game and they put bows and extra supers and new locations in as well as seasons to just overhaul it and shadowkeep brought the season pass in but not much else beyond light is just throwing out all of the clutter and getting ready for a next gen upgrade so I don't think we will see much in the way of new weapons or armor or weapon types till year 5 when they have the game the way they want it to be for next gen
