Two years ago, during its annual Destiny 2 showcase, Bungie announced that Lightfall was in the pipeline. Back then, very little was announced beyond the name of the expansion.
Today, we received more details after Bungie unveiled Lightfall as the next major expansion headed to Destiny 2 in its recently concluded annual showcase event. According to Bungie, the penultimate expansion as the "beginning of the end" of the epic 9-part saga. The new DLC will bring players to a new location and confront an enemy that has played a key role in the many conflicts that we have seen in Destiny 2.
The nearly 36-minute-long showcase also revealed some of the new features coming to the online-only FPS title. What is the story of Lightfall? Lightfall takes place in a new location, Neomuna, on the planet Neptune. Here, an alternate version of humanity has resided since the Collapse. The new map is a bustling cyberpunk-looking metropolis with its skyscrapers and neon lights.
The primary antagonist of the expansion, The Witness, has had a hand in many events in Destiny 2. A familiar foe, Emperor Calus, also returns as the enforcer of The Witness as he commands an army of loyalists called the Shadow Legion. In addition to this, Lightfall will introduce a new enemy type, Tormentors, which wield large scythes and can close a large gap in an instant.
