Destiny 2's new Lightfall expansion gets an official release date and time. Bungie's free-to-play online shooter will introduce its latest expansion, which will add a new location, campaign, and raid. With Destiny 2: Lightfall, players will also be able to enjoy fresh quests, loot, and Strand subclasses.
Previously, Destiny 2: Lightfall was accidentally released earlier than the intended date in some regions, which caused a severe bug preventing players from logging in. While a fix was facilitated by Bungie, many fans were left excited with the screens brought about by the latest update. Destiny 2: Lightfall will seemingly take on a darker tone than usual, and will tap into a unique vaporware visual style, which gives out a nice change of pace. However, the expansion now has an official release date and time, which will allow gamers to finally experience the new features.
Bungie's website officially declared Destiny 2: Lightfall's official release date to be February 28, 2023, at 9 AM Pacific Standard Time. In line with this, the game will momentarily be offline starting one day before, on February 27, 2023, at 9 AM Pacific Standard Time. This will give all players time to prepare for Destiny 2: Lightfall, so that everybody will be able to enjoy the experience as a whole. Because of global time differences, some regions may receive the update later than the advertised release time. As also expected, size and storage options may differ in regard to the platform the game is being played on. Pre-loads for the expansion will be doable once the game is brought offline for maintenance. This ensures that gamers will be able to play the game once servers are active again.
With the expansion comes a new story, legendary mode, and a complete set of armor. Fresh subclasses will also be available to use such as the Berserker, the Broodweaver, and the Threadrunner. Most notable of all the latest inclusions is the most powerful enemy in the Destiny universe named The Witness. Players will need to utilize every new ability and weapon in Lightfall to combat this much-feared adversary.
As the latest expansion arrives, Destiny 2: Lightfall will also adjust in-game mechanics in regard to raids, strikes, and dungeons. This might introduce some new balancing aspects that will keep the game reinvigorated. With the features announced, as well as the included updates, Destiny 2: Lightfall is looking into giving fans of the title a totally different and unique experience unlike any that the Destiny universe has seen before.
Destiny 2 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X. The Lightfall expansion is set to launch on all platforms on February 28, at 9 AM Pacific Standard Time.
