Destiny 2: Lightfall is now available on all platforms, adding a new paid
expansion for the free-to-play first-person shooter. The Windows edition can be
found on the
Epic Games Store and
Steam,
and there's also a
Lightfall + Annual Pass bundle on the
Epic Games Store and
Steam. The announcement also reveals plans to launch a new raid called Root
of Nightmates on March 10th. Here's the official
Launch
Trailer, and here is more on how this changes your destiny:
In
Lightfall, Guardians will be tasked with preventing the apocalypse by stopping
the Witness and its newest disciple, Calus. Along the way, Guardians will cross
paths with the Shadow Legion, including the terrifying and formidable new
Tormentors, who are bent on causing devastation in the high-tech capital of
Neomuna.
Guardians will wield a new subclass power in Lightfall; Strand will give the
ability to pluck the threads that bind the universe together, creating
unprecedented combat and movement capabilities. Strand will grant powerful new
attacks for each Guardian class to use in unique ways, in addition to a new
grapple ability which will greatly increase their mobility and traversal options
throughout the game.
Lightfall’s accompanying season, Season of Defiance, launches on the same day as
the new expansion for Destiny 2 and will find Guardians called into action by
Mara Sov and the Queensguard to investigate the Pyramid outputs appearing across
the planet and stand in defiance of humanity’s greatest foes. Jump into Defiant
Battlegrounds – a new three-person activity available in the Season – where
Guardians will use their newly acquired Awoken powers to tear portals into the
Ascendant Plane too challenge the Shadow Legion.
Shortly after the launch of Lightfall, Bungie will unlock its latest raid, Root
of Nightmares. Destiny raids are pinnacle aspirational activities designed for
six skilled Guardians who want to be challenged not just for their fighting
skills, but their ability to work cooperatively, think on their feet, and solve
seemingly impossible
challenges.
