It’s the start of a brand-new year in Destiny 2 with the launch of Lightfall, and like previous years, there’ll be plenty of new activities to take part in, Exotics to collect, and weekly missions to engage in. We’re currently running down everything that you can expect to see and earn in Lightfall, which launches alongside Season of Defiance, including the new Exotics that you can unlock, the latest armor sets for Guardians, how you can change up your look with the latest ornaments, and a closer look at the new Strand subclass. A huge number of technical changes to Destiny 2 have also been made, and includes tweaks to Adept Difficulty, changes to Light subclasses, and much more.
Season of Defiance will run from February 28 until May 22, and this season will also see the return of the Guardian Games. One of Destiny 2’s big events alongside Solstice, Festival of the Lost, and the Dawning, Guardian Games is a showdown between Warlocks, Titans, and Hunters to see which Guardian subclass is the best of the best.
Lightfall Storyline
The penultimate chapter in the Light and Darkness saga, Lightfall introduces the hidden Neptunian city of Neomuna to Destiny 2’s collection of patrol zones. After Season of the Seraph ended with the Traveler backed into a corner–or low orbit around Earth to be specific–Lightfall sets the new story in motion with the arrival of the Witness and its Black Fleet of pyramid ships. Bad stuff is likely to go down, and while times look dark for humanity and its allies, salvation may lie on Neomuna as clues point towards the mystery of the Veil. What the Veil is exactly remains to be seen, but in the war against the Witness and its forces, it might just be the trump card that can push back the forces of the Witness.
