It’s the beginning of the end in Destiny 2, admittedly the actual end is still two years away but things have been ramping up over the past year with the reveal of the final big bad, The Witness.
The Destiny 2: Lightfall launch trailer shows some familiar faces as well Rohan, a Cloudstrider based on the new location, Neomuna, and the return of Calus. Is it really him this time, or one of his robotic clones? Amanda Holiday also seems to be in trouble, let’s hope she survives, and the Traveller seems to be… a Death Star?
New features coming in Lightfall include:
- Brave a New Campaign – Legendary mode
- Prevent the apocalypse by stopping the Witness and its newest Disciple, Calus. Master Strand, a new power of the Darkness, cross paths with bone-chilling Tormentors and valiant Cloud Striders, join the fight against the Shadow Legion, and prevent devastation in the technologically advanced secret city of Neomuna.
- A Legendary version of the campaign will be available at launch, featuring tougher enemies and a capped Power level, but increased rewards as well!
- Master a New Power – Strand, new damage type and subclass
- The Hunter Threadrunner is a master of movement, speed, and grace. The city is their playground as they grasp threads and weave new ones to dart through the air, finding the fastest way between two points.
- Untamed and wild, Titan Berserkers tear at Strand to manifest claws they use to sever their targets from the Weave. Leaping into harm’s way with wild abandon, the line no one crosses is drawn by a Berserker.
- As a master of Strand, the Warlock Broodweaver can effortlessly manipulate the Weave using only their mind. From the backline, these telekinetic sorcerers can even twist Strand into sentient creatures to do their bidding.
- There are additional Strand Aspects and Fragments available for Guardians to collect after the Campaign ends.
- Discover a New Destination – Neomuna, a Neptunian metropolis
- Travel to a destination unlike any you’ve explored in Destiny 2. Cross paths with bone-chilling Tormentors and valiant Cloud Striders, join the fight against the Shadow Legion, and prevent devastation in the technologically advanced secret city of Neomuna.
- Face New Enemies
- Shadow Legion — The Loyalist Cabal followers of Calus have been gifted a new-found power by the Witness in the form of mysterious and powerful Pyramid technology.
- Tormentors — An enigmatic and foreboding executioner; empowered by the Witness and Pyramid technology to enable sudden bursts of adept maneuvers at unfathomable speed. They know no fear and are highly resistant to weapons save a few critical areas.
- New Weapons and Gear
- We find ourselves challenged by a strength unmatched by any in recorded history. How does one stand against such a force?
- Terminal Overload
- The Shadow Legion and Vex are conducting an all-out assault on the city. Put an end to their destruction in this new public activity on Neptune.
- New 6-Player Raid
- Ferried from an unknown time and place, a haunting presence has been detected. We must now confront the ancient threat growing at our doorstep.
- Guardian Ranks
- Guardian Ranks is a progression system that will help introduce New Lights to the game more smoothly and provide goals and challenges for new and veteran players alike.
- Commendations
- The new Commendations system allows Guardians to express gratitude for each other, celebrating the positive emotions of completing an activity.
On top of that lot there are also major changes to Loadouts, Mods, economy, physics, and lots more. It’s essentially Destiny 3.0.
