Destiny 2 The Final Shape features an emotional ending with immense payoff for players who have stuck with the franchise for these past 10 years, including a message that has left some fans confused: Gratias Vobis Amigus.

If you're wondering what that means, we'll be explaining exactly what the phrase conveys and whether it means something for the future of the Destiny franchise.

Beware, however, that there will be some spoilers, so we recommend you finish The Final Shape campaign, although if you've seen the message, you probably already have.

Gratias Vobis Amigus Destiny 2 message explained

Gratias Vobis Amigus is a message that players see after they complete The Final Shape campaign and finally trump over The Witness. It appears during the final screen before going back to the destinations tab, with their Guardian sitting at the edge of a cliff, pondering as they gaze upon the Traveler.

In short, Gratias Vobis Amigus stems from Latin and it means "we thank you." It's a short message from Bungie to every player who has stuck with the franchise through its ups and downs leading up to the final confrontation with the Darkness and The Witness.

Sadly, if you were expecting it to be a mysterious message pointing at the future of the game, that's not exactly it. However, Bungie did reveal plans that include something called "Codename Frontiers," which could be an expansion or some kind of Destiny 2 continuation.

So, while the future of Destiny 2 is rather uncertain, rest assured the game is far from dead.
