As we see in the key art released for Into The Light, it seems Ahsa’s visions are going to come true and the Pyramids will be invading the Last City alongside Xivu Arath’s armada (appears to be a congregation of Sol forces, not her actual brood which we have yet to see). We even see a rebuilt D1 tower in the background, and Scorpius turrets painted in Vanguard colors & symbology.
We ourselves have our own armada above the Last City in the form of the Coalition, consisting of Vanguard, Caiatl Ascendancy, House of Light, & Awoken ships. This got me thinking - will this result in a cataclysmic battle in the Last City between Light-aligned factions and Darkness-aligned factions? I know it’s definitely wishful thinking, but it would be so cool to see a cutscene of the invasion!
Anyhow, what do you guys theorize or speculate is going on here? Will Xivu Arath become a Disciple given her loss of power, or will Kelgorath lead these Hive forces? Will only the Dark Hive invade alongside the Pyramids or will other factions that serve the Witness join the invasion as well? What will the activity in the Last City be like? I’m so hyped we are finally getting an invasion of the Last City by the Pyramids, even if it isn’t the premise of an entire expansion. I’m really excited to see what you guys think!!

I am excited to see it too, and the best part is we won't need to wait until April to start seeing what it is about. We have live-streams over the next three weeks about the content that will be released in Into the Light. It is a great way to add to the story as a result of the delay. It'd just feel odd if we had to wait an extra three months for the Final Shape with the story just locked in stasis. Now, there appears to be an actual response to Crow successfully traveling through the portal. The Witness' forces know something happened, and this is their response before Crow can fully make it through and build the path for us. We only have to wait until next Tuesday to start getting an answer.
