Just a day away from the return of fan-favorite exotic The Last Word to Destiny 2, developer Bungie is teasing Thorn’s comeback to the game in the coming months as a part of Season 6. In a new trailer released for The Last Word’s upcoming “The Draw” quest as part of the Annual Pass content, the last shot shows that The Season of the Drifter will bring the yang to The Last Word’s ying—the exotic hand cannon, Thorn.

It has long been rumored that Thorn would return in Destiny 2 as part of Season of the Drifter because of the lore and story implications related to The Drifter and his ties to Dredgen Yor, the original owner of the Thorn exotic. While the trailer does not outright show the Thorn itself, the unmistakable spike rounds that Thorn shoots make it completely clear that it’s coming, not to mention the fact that the Thorn has always been tied in Destiny’s lore to The Last Word.

Players will have to wait until Destiny 2’s next season to find out more about how they will get their hands on Thorn but there are two exotic quests planned for Season 6. One will be free to all Destiny 2 players as part of a content update and one will be part of the game's Annual Pass.

It will interesting to see how Bungie handles the return of Thorn in Destiny 2. Thorn was one of the most powerful guns in Destiny 1 for quite a while, which led to it being heavily nerfed and therefore falling out of use by most players, so balancing the weapon for Destiny 2 will definitely be a point of interest for longtime fans. The Last Word got a slightly different exotic perk than the original Destiny 1 version, so an overhaul to the weapon is possible.

The start date of The Season of the Drifter is unknown, but it is rumored and likely to begin in early March 2019.

Destiny 2 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
