Lightfall is coming to Destiny 2 and bringing back a familiar face
Just as the madness that was Gamescom 2022 kicked off, Bungie hosted a live stream for Destiny 2, to show off what was coming to the game, from its next expansion Lightfall and beyond. Check out the reveal trailer for Lightfall first.
In Lightfall players will face Calus, the malevolent former emperor of the Cabal, who has returned to our solar system alongside the Pyramid fleet as a Disciple of the Witness – the cosmic nemesis that was first introduced in Destiny 2: The Witch Queen.
Using abilities granted from a brand-new subclass Strand, Guardians will explore a new destination – Neptune’s gleaming megacity of Neomuna – which is under attack from Calus’s mysterious and deadly Shadow Legion.
Lightfall introduces a brand-new subclass element in Strand. Tap into the invisible threads that bind reality, then grab hold and take control. Harness the power of Strand in ways never seen in Destiny 2: from weaving powerful attacks to pulling off incredible new mobility options.
A new story demands a new location to explore and that is the case here, as Neptune’s pristine capital city of Neomuna is your playground. Explore the city’s towering skyscrapers and neon-drenched streets where danger, beauty, and mystery brim around every corner.
Also revealed during the showcase is the reprised raid, King’s Fall, arriving in Destiny 2 this week. The raid, originally seen in the Destiny expansion, The Taken King, takes place on the Dreadnaught as players face down Oryx himself. The King’s Fall raid is available now for all players, no matter the version you have.
Finally, if you want to watch the entire stream, where they detail the various versions of Lightfall, the Fall Guys and Fortnite collabs and more, check it out below.
Destiny 2: Lightfall will arrive for all platforms on March 1st, 2023.
