Destiny 2: Lightfall got a splashy new reveal during The Game Awards, showing off snippets of the new setting and powers that you’ll get access to in the expansion
Destiny 2: Lightfall will launch on 28th February 2023 across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Lightfall is the next year-long expansion for Destiny 2, kicking off a pretty wild new story arc. Calus is back with the new Shadow Legion, and new enemies like Tormentors and foes that can drain your super energy.
That’s far from everything, though, because the new centrepiece is the city of Neomuna on Neptune. This isn’t just any old city, but rather home to another completely separate race of humans who’ve been chilling out there while everything else in the solar system goes completely to pot – thanks for the help, eh? Its inhabitants are called Cloud Striders, while their city has a vibrant, neon-filled Cyberpunk aesthetic.
Their introduction will also come with a new variation of Darkness called Strand – a connection to the psychic universe that is like a “third eye” opening, according to Bungie. This gives Guardians whips and a grappling hook that they can use to augment their movement – seems that Bungie are still Halo fans, eh? While using Strand, each class gets a new super ability, the Hunter getting a Rope Dart, Titans some massive spinning claws and Warlocks Strand missiles.
