Destined even further.
Bungie ran a whopper of a Destiny 2 reveal stream today, announcing literally all the things. OK, just four or so of the things, but they’re big things! First and foremost, there’s the Beyond Light expansion, launching September 22nd. “A new power is born out of the ancient Pyramid ship above Europa, and a dark empire has risen beneath,” the studio says. “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.”

Collector edition package details and preorder info – you knew this would be up for preorder already, right? – are already up on the official site, plus Bungie announced that Destiny 2 is en route to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles. In fact, PS4 purchases will “upgrade to the PlayStation 5 for free.”

In the shorter term, the studio is kicking off new content today dubbed Season of Arrivals, beginning with a new dungeon, Prophecy, new gear and other rewards, and a new public event. Season passes cost 1K silver.

And in the much more distant future? Bungie also announced the two expansions coming after Beyond Light: The Witch Queen, launching in 2021, and Lightfall, launching in 2022.

The studio dropped a truckton of new images and videos today to go along with the reveals; we’ve embedded everything down below.
