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!!

Also they need a war map, like I had suggested at least a year ago, before beyond light I think. Helldiver's is doing this, a push and pull map, war...you need a large city like map for 3d combat (above, ground, below(sewers), objectives flow with sector needing to be taken or defended, along with Intel gathering (RIP design), among other things in a large map. Combat definitely needs to feel more weighted, ghaul had the right idea, we don't fear death and people fly off the rails looking for someone to turn into a gun...while the game has been trying to state we are also super greedy and need to be checked...so here's hoping for combat...evolved.
