Hey everyone. We wanted to talk about why The Final Shape raid is going live shortly after release on June 7. We know this is a tight turnaround and wanted to share some context on why we made this decision. Back in August, we said that finishing the campaign would not be the grand finale of the Light and Darkness saga. You will be facing off against the Witness in the raid, and for non-raiders there will be an opportunity for everyone to experience the conclusion sometime after the raid.
The Final Shape expansion is different: the additional content in the Pale Heart post-campaign and unlocking the raid for everyone is important for getting a cohesive and satisfying story experience. We're looking at you, raiders, to be the tip of the spear. 👀
When raid day arrives, no matter if you choose to go in for Contest mode in the first 48 hours or wait for Normal mode to unlock, in order to experience the story linearly and as intended, you need to have the campaign completed and finish the quest 'Wild Card'. Prioritize those!
Episode Echoes story, the beginning of the next journey starts in week two.

Just a wild guess;
You beat the Witness in the raid with the aid of 5 other guardians as usual. Then the story opens up, in which you defeat the Witness with the aid of: Eris, Ikora, Zavala, Shax and The Crow. Maybe even Cayde-6, The Drifter and/or Mara Sov
This way the ending wouldn’t be spoiled by doing only the story.
This way everyone gets to defeat the Witness. Raiders in the ultimate challenge, and story (non-raiders) players in the story.
That could make sense, since it is rumoured to be the hardest raid in Destiny history. So everyone has a specific, and equally important, task to fulfill in succesfully defeating the Witness. Just like each character will have their specific task, Shax and Zavala on the front lines, Eris Ikora and Mara Sov with their spells/magic etcetera…
Maybe i’m just reaching lol
