Destiny 2: Lightfall is the next chapter in the ever-evolving story of the long running FPS MMO. All Destiny 2 expansions introduce new gameplay features and narratives but Lightfall looks to take us to places we could never have expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announced during the Destiny 2 Showcase for 2022, we got to see plenty of what\u2019s coming for the game. It\u2019s going to be a busy time for Destiny 2 fans, here\u2019s everything you need to know about the next expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Destiny 2: Lightfall?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"lightfall<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been playing Destiny 2 for a while you\u2019ll be used to regular expansions, if you\u2019re new to the game and this is your first expansion there\u2019ll be a lot of changes to get used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lightfall, like the expansions before it<\/a>, will introduce a ton of new stuff. There\u2019ll be a new campaign, new dungeons, new raids, and a new season full of updates that mean the game never stands still. With this expansion there\u2019ll even be a new subclass – the first since Destiny 2: Beyond Light – which means there\u2019ll even be new ways to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive into the new stuff you\u2019ll be getting to grips with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything new in Destiny 2: Lightfall – Gameplay, Raids, Locations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first big change introduced with Lightfall is the unveiling of an entirely new location. It turns out that the Last City on Earth was exactly that, the last city\u2026on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On distant Neptune an off-shoot of humanity has weathered the storm of the Collapse and thrived in secrecy. Their city, Neomuna, is now under threat by the dark forces of The Witness, led by the former Cabal emperor Calus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The players will be heading there to fend off this invading army and learn more about The Witness\u2019 plans for the solar system, looking to further the Light vs Dark narrative expanded upon in the previous expansion, The Witch Queen. Lightfall serves to set up the final expansion for this narrative arc, tentatively named The Final Shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to new missions, campaigns, activities, and raids that are so far unnamed, we\u2019ll be getting some long awaited overhauls to key gameplay systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Lightfall UI and Gameplay Systems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Destiny 2 players rejoice! What you\u2019ve been begging for is finally coming. That\u2019s right, a Looking for Group tool will be integrated into the game, making finding someone to help you get your Gjallarhorn will be far simpler in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only will we be getting an LFG tool but an entirely new revamp of the new player experience is planned. This will see players gaining ranks through completing certain activities, with higher levels denoting mastery of high-end combat encounters. Players will also be able to reward others with commendations, helping everyone take note of players who go above and beyond in the fight against evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s not all, there\u2019s one final new gameplay element coming with Lightfall, and it\u2019s a big one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Destiny 2: Lightfall Subclass – Introducing Strand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"strand!<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With the release of Beyond Light players received their first Darkness-powered subclass, Stasis. Now with Lightfall the second Darkness subclass will be introduced – named Strand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This green-tinged subclass revolves around consciousness and allows Guardians to manipulate connections between living things, themselves included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does this mean for the game? It means each class will get a new subclass that will open up new ways to play, from Warlocks gaining telekinetic matter-summoning abilities to Titans growing colossal green claws to allow them to hulk out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh and one more thing. Everyone\u2019s getting a Strand grappling hook that can be used to swing about, Spider-Man-esque. Even if there\u2019s nothing to hang from the Strand swing can be used to grab onto midair. Suddenly movement is getting a big upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Release Date and Platforms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
