Bungie has given Destiny 2’s long-awaited Lightfall expansion its first proper reveal, sharing a huge heap of gameplay details – from its Neptune setting to its new grapple-hook-like Strand ability – ahead of its now-confirmed launch date of 28th February next year.
Lightfall, which was initially announced back in June 2020, will be Destiny 2’s penultimate expansion, coming between this year’s The Witch Queen and the game’s finale expansion The Final Shape. As such, Bungie is calling it the “beginning of the end”, and it continues an escalating narrative that will bring Destiny’s Light and Darkness Saga to a close.
It finally gives a name and a face to Destiny 2’s much-teased big bad, The Witness, and will take players to Neptune’s capital city. This gleaming cityscape is, thanks to Calus’ Shadow Legion, now Cabal-occupied territory, and players will need to deal with their new Pyramid-enhanced tech – including suppression devices, which can diminish Guardians’ abilities – plus a new Pyramid unit known as Tormentors.
