Destiny 2’s Next Expansion Lightfall Slated For February 2023 Launch

While Bungie already released the last major expansion for Destiny 2 this past February with The Witch Queen, the firm has remained busy since then. For one, the firm was just acquired by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was not until July that the original Halo trilogy was welcomed to the PlayStation Studios family.

More recently, claims surfaced that the firm would be featuring its own characters and likeness from the Destiny IP into other games. Well, it would make sense with the upcoming presentation slated for this Tuesday, August 23rd. And, the firm officially revealed the new cosmetics for the battle royale alongside some for Fall Guys as well.

Additionally, Bungie during its own showcase also revealed the first look at its next expansion, Lightfall. You can watch the reveal trailer in the video below:

“Prevent the apocalypse by racing Emperor Calus to Neptune and explore a totally new destination, the secret metropolis of Neomuna. This city was untouched by the Collapse, so its pristine buildings and neon-filled streets are very different from what players have experienced before. There are new places to explore and new characters to meet, like the Cloud Striders, the superhuman heroes that serve as Neptunians’ last line of defense,” the overview reads for the expansion.

“Stopping the end times won’t be an easy task. That’s why Guardians will have a new power in their hands to fight back. Strand is the second Darkness-based subclass, and it’s all about consciousness, fluidity, control over your surroundings, and manipulation of your enemies. Tap into a new (and green) spectrum of reality, pull strength from a never-before-seen power, and shape new abilities to defeat Calus and his Shadow Legion.

Adding, “Lightfall’s stand-alone campaign will be filled with over-the-top action and expand the limits of what to expect from Destiny 2, a crucial step towards the conclusion of the Light and Darkness saga. Those looking for a challenge can turn up the difficulty with Legendary Mode. Their bravado will be noted: those who walk the hard path will find powerful gear and extra rewards.”

How excited are you for what Lightfall is to bring to Destiny 2?

Destiny 2: Lightfall will launch on February 28, 2023 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Stadia.
