Destiny 2 players are buzzing with speculation that the legendary hand cannon, The Palindrome, will return with the February launch of Episode: Heresy. This theory stems from a cryptic palindrome tweet by the official Destiny 2 team. With Destiny 2 recently experiencing a dip in player numbers, many hope Episode: Heresy, preceding the "Codename: Frontiers" content drop, will revitalize the game.
Episode: Revenant, the current episode, received mixed reviews, with criticism focused on its narrative and gameplay. While it did reintroduce some classic weapons like the Icebreaker, its overall reception was lukewarm.
The cryptic tweet, a palindrome itself, strongly hints at The Palindrome's return on February 4th. While not officially confirmed, the connection is undeniable given the weapon's history in the Destiny franchise.
A More Triumphant Return for The Palindrome?
This isn't The Palindrome's first appearance in Destiny 2; however, it's been absent since The Witch Queen expansion in 2022. Past iterations have disappointed due to suboptimal perk combinations. Fans eagerly anticipate a more competitive perk pool in this new version.
Details about Episode: Heresy remain scarce, beyond its focus on the Hive and the Dreadnought (another beloved element from the original Destiny). As the release date approaches, Bungie is likely to reveal more fan-favorite weapon returns.
