The Future 2 Guardian Video games winner hasn’t but been chosen, regardless of what you’ll have heard. Sadly for the various Warlock mains who logged into the area FPS sport to see that they’d been victorious within the class showdown, Bungie says the early announcement was an accident – though its alternative of wording has solely led to loads of tongue-in-cheek jokes from the Future 2 group.
Booting up the sport to compete within the race to earn Medallions and declare glory for his or her favorite Future 2 class, gamers have been shocked to seek out an announcement banner proclaiming, “Warlocks received Guardian Video games 2023!” The message relays that “Warlocks earned essentially the most Medallions and received this yr’s Video games,” and tells gamers that they need to head to the Tower to see the closing ceremony.
For those who’re a Titan or Hunter predominant, don’t worry, as Bungie has since confirmed the message was delivered in error. The official Bungie Assist account tweets, “We’re conscious that an in-game message saying the winner of Guardian Video games was despatched out erroneously. Guardian Video games nonetheless have two weeks left and the profitable class has not been formally introduced but.”
In fact, that shouldn’t come as an excessive amount of of a shock, provided that – because the tweet notes – there are nonetheless two extra weeks earlier than a winner is chosen. That hasn’t, nevertheless, stopped Warlock gamers on Twitter and the Future 2 Reddit from calling Bungie to “Cease the depend!”
Different gamers take a distinct tack. With Titans victorious within the inaugural 2020 Guardian Video games, Hunters bringing residence the trophy in 2021, and Warlocks claiming it in 2022, there’s lengthy been a half-joking hearsay that the video games have been “rigged” to offer each class their probability. That’s not helped by Bungie tweeting that the profitable class hasn’t been “introduced,” as an alternative of claiming it hasn’t been decided but. Nevertheless, that sample suggests Warlocks shouldn’t be subsequent in line for the throne anyway.
One other in-game message, one which appears extra intentional, means that Titans are actually the category to have taken an early lead within the competitors – one thing that may fall in step with massive swathes of the group who’re rooting for a Titan win to honour Zavala actor Lance Reddick, who handed away abruptly this yr. Reddick himself was famously a Warlock predominant, nevertheless, so the mistaken announcement would most likely have put a smile on his face.
There’s nonetheless a lot to play for within the Future 2 Guardian Video games, then – so get on the market and make it depend by gearing up with the most effective Future 2 builds and rocking one of the best Future 2 Exotics in Lightfall. You’ll wish to hold an eye fixed out for the current Future 2 season go value enhance, nevertheless, or it could show costlier than it seems at first look.
