\nBungie 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.\n<\/p>\n

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.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt 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.\n<\/p>\n
