The Final Shape storyline revealed

The entire storyline of the next expansion takes place within the Pale Heart, which is a patrol location inside the Traveler. Although Bungie hasn't revealed major details about the story, it's understood that the Witness will be the final raid boss for the upcoming raid in Destiny 2 The Final Shape.

The narrative will see players travel through the Portal that the Witness carved into the Traveler. To make matters even more interesting, the original Tower from the first game will make a return and probably be an explorable area inside the Pale Heart. This piece will be updated once there's more information regarding the same.

Although there are no details about a brand new subclass, developers revealed that multiple new supers would be introduced to the game. Available for all three classes, these news supers will be only related to the Light subclasses. As of writing, there's no information regarding new supers for the Darkness subclasses.

To conclude, Bungie's Destiny 2 Showcase has been spectacular in terms of storyline and content. Although there are six months left in the current expansion, everything that happens from here on will have a major impact on the storyline.
