Destiny's Conclusion: No Avengers-Style Team-Up with the Hive

Bungie has addressed criticism of its storytelling techniques in Destiny and clarified that players should not expect a team-up between the Guardians and the Hive, as the Hive has committed acts of genocide. The upcoming concluding expansion, The Final Shape, will see the Guardians forming alliances with races previously portrayed as enemies, such as the Fallen and the Cabal. While there is potential for the Hive to be swayed, it would require significant narrative development to make amends for their past actions. Bungie also defended the late-game reveal of The Traveller's origins, stating that it was a middle piece leading into the main Lightfall expansion, which will explore unresolved narrative threads.
