Game studio Bungie just announced the next chapter in the Destiny 2 universe, which is the new expansion Beyond Light.
The next expansion Beyond Light will be arriving on Sept. 22. Aside from that the studio revealed its next season called Season of Arrivals, which is now available.
Both Season of Arrivals and Beyond Light expansion will both continue the narrative of the Guardians in their ongoing battle to save humanity. Mysteries will be revealed, new powers discovered, and the Pyramid ships will finally be unveiled. It will all start with Season of Arrivals.
For months, the mysterious Pyramid ships have been making their way to our solar system, their purpose unknown but their menace clear. In Season of Arrivals, the moon of Io will see the arrival of the first Pyramid ship, setting off a chain of events that will unfold throughout the Season, into the Beyond Light expansion, and beyond.
Aside from the new expansion and content, Bungie revealed that the game will be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X when it launches. The purchases on Destiny 2: Beyond Light on Xbox One will transfer to the Xbox Series X for free via Smart Delivery. The PlayStation 4 version will be upgraded to PlayStation 5 version for free. More details will be revealed later on.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light
A new power is born out of the ancient Pyramid ship above Europa, and a dark empire has risen beneath. In the Destiny 2: Beyond Light expansion, Guardians will explore a changed universe, with a new destination, new adventures, and even new powers to explore.
Explore Europa: In Beyond Light, Guardians will be called to a new destination: Jupiter’s frozen moon of Europa. Brave the unrelenting glacial frontier, infiltrate the Golden Age Braytech facility, and uncover the secrets that lie deep under the ancient ice.
Wield the Darkness: As a new threat emerges, so too does a mysterious new power – Stasis. Rooted in Darkness, Guardians will wield this new elemental power alongside Arc, Solar, and Void to summon epic supers and control the battlefield. Titans, Warlocks and Hunters will each use Stasis in a different way. More details on Stasis to come later this summer.
A New Raid: Below the frozen tundra of Europa lies the Deep Stone Crypt. For decades it has remained dormant. Guardians will test their skill and teamwork in this brand new six-person raid, where glorious rewards await.
The Rise of Eramis: The splintered houses of the Fallen have rallied and built their new empire on Europa, united under the banner of the Fallen Kell of Darkness, Eramis. Abandoned by the Traveler and left by the Light, Eramis is on her own journey into the Darkness, and towards a collision course with Guardians.
