Destiny 2 rolls out the alien-bashing action (game news).
Game developer Bungie is pushing their scifi game Destiny 2 with plenty of new content, including Destiny 2: Beyond Light – their expansion launching September 22nd 2020.
Another expansion, Season of Arrivals, has just launched.
Season of Arrivals and their Beyond Light expansion continue the fight of the last vestiges of humanity and the Guardians in their alien conflict (the menace of the Pyramid ships is explored).
For months, 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 sees the arrival of the first Pyramid ship, setting off a chain of events that will unfold throughout the game Season, into the Beyond Light expansion, and beyond.
In Beyond Light, Guardians will be called to a new destination: Jupiter’s frozen moon of Europa. Brave the glacial frontier, infiltrate the Golden Age Braytech facility, and uncover the secrets that lie deep under the ancient ice. 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 new six-person raid.
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.
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 supers and control the battlefield. Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters will each use Stasis different.
In terms of the technical details, Destiny 2 will hit both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X next-generation consoles. Purchases of Destiny 2: Beyond Light on Xbox One will transfer to Xbox Series X for free. Purchases on PlayStation 4 will likewise upgrade to PlayStation 5 for free.
