7 Tower Ideas: Cayde-6 | Shacknews


Guardians, Cayde-6 is coming again to Future 2 with unique actor Nathan Fillion voicing the character. Maybe probably the most beloved Guardian in franchise historical past, Cayde’s imminent return is nice information for everybody. There are numerous inquiries to dig by means of about this information, although, so let’s dive in and begin theorizing.

Cayde continues to be useless

This looks like a no brainer, however the Last Form teaser confirmed Cayde sitting close to a hearth with no Ghost. Ikora, who was additionally on the hearth, had a Ghost. This is able to recommend that Ikora is alive, and that Cayde is useless. There’s additionally what seems to be Mild spilling out of Cayde’s eyes, giving him an virtually ghostly look.

Cayde is contained in the Traveler

That is one other simple one on condition that we are able to see the identical portal seen from exterior the Traveler within the teaser for the Last Form. It’s clear that Ikora and Cayde are contained in the Traveler, which brings up extra questions than solutions. If Cayde is certainly nonetheless useless, is that this Heaven, Hell, and even Guardian Valhalla? If Cayde died and went to an afterlife contained in the Traveler, is that this the place all of the useless Guardians go? In that case, there are each buddies and foes right here. If that is the place Mild-wielders go after they die, we’re about to satisfy some characters which have solely ever appeared in lore, and so they aren’t all going to be pleasant.

Cayde probably isn’t again completely

I simply don’t see Cayde coming again to the Future universe on a full-time foundation. What I believe, and it’s pure hypothesis, is that Cayde might be again for The Last Form, serving to us in our battle towards The Witness. I feel as soon as that’s wrapped up, Cayde might be gone once more. I simply don’t see the character strolling again into the Tower and taking over his previous position as Hunter Vanguard. Perhaps I’m flawed, and a part of me hopes I’m, however it appears too good to be true.

The return of Savathûn?

If those that wield the Mild go to the Traveler when the die, may we meet Savathun there?
Supply: Bungie

This calls again to a thought I had earlier about assembly buddies and foes who’ve died wielding the Mild, but when that prediction is true, Savathûn and the Lucent Hive might be current contained in the Traveler. Perhaps Bungie will get loopy and have Savathûn be a part of us in an analogous strategy to Empress Caiatl and Mithrax? I don’t know. Savathûn’s Ghost is not useless so she will technically be revived, so I’m simply throwing issues on the wall right here, however it’s enjoyable to contemplate.

Will Osiris get Sagira again?

It could be very cool if Osiris could possibly be re-united with this Ghost Sagira.
Supply: Bungie

If Guardians go to this place after they die, what about Ghosts? Perhaps that is the place Osiris will get Sagira again, which I feel could be a really cool factor. Even cooler if Cayde has been taking good care of her all this time. One other longshot, however nothing breaks my coronary heart greater than when Osiris requires Sagira, momentarily forgetting she’s gone.

I’m glad we didn’t kill Crow

You do not actually assume Cayde will shoot Crow, do you? We should always begin a pool.
Supply: Bungie

We killed Uldren Sov, however when a Ghost resurrected that physique, it turned Crow. Now, I’ve lengthy needed to shoot Crow once more. I get that he doesn’t keep in mind what he did, and that we additionally might have a really troubled previous, however that dude killed Cayde. I can’t let that go. At the very least now I’m glad we didn’t kill him (once more) as a result of I’m wanting ahead to that face-to-face assembly.

We’ll be becoming a member of Cayde

Supply: Bungie

We’ve already visited our personal grave and heard the type phrases of Saint-14 as he memorialized us. We all know that in some timeline we die. The Last Form would make numerous sense, as that might be Yr 8 of Future 2, and Yr 11 of the franchise. I’m speculating right here with no inside data or strong factors to again up my thought, however I feel we’re getting Future 3 in 2025, and what higher strategy to transition to a brand new Future story than to kill our Guardians off in Yr 8? Perhaps not the beginning of The Last Form, however the finish maybe?

Let me know what you assume, Guardians. What theories or questions do you will have about Cayde coming again to Future 2?
