We’ve had this discussion before. You don’t pay attention. (Destiny)

Jason: You said you will not be talking about the Darkness in the game . . . Tell me the truth, is it because none of you have any idea what the Darkness actually means?

Luke: I think that at a point, just totally candidly, we had no idea what it was—straight up we had no clue. For a period, we decided we were going to lump all the races . . . and you see this in the tools tips in the game: “minions of the Darkness,” and we had taken all the races and just said, “Ah, they’ll just be the Darkness.” But that’s not what the IP deserves, it’s literally not. So what we’re doing with Destiny 2 is we are deliberately telling a story about the Light and what it means to be chosen. And as such we’re in the process of removing the term Darkness from the game, because when we are going to talk about Darkness next, we need to know what it is and have and plan for it . . . and we do.

So yeah. They didn't just decide the Darkness isn't a thing anymore. They're just . . . refining it as a concept.

As you said, I think the Darkness just isn't a prime threat in the story of D2. It was all about Ghaul and his assault on the City. He's not the Darkness, just a big dickhead.

With some of the stuff they've talked about with Warmind, I wonder if we'll start to see some more about the Darkness.
