When will Destiny 2’s Lightfall expansion release?

During Bungie’s Destiny 2 Showcase on August 23, it was revealed that Lightfall would be coming out on February 28, 2023. You have several months to prepare for Lightfall, giving you the chance to explore the latest Guardian Darkness power, Strand, where you can traverse using this new power. You can use Strand as a grappling hook, allowing you to explore more of your environment, especially on Neptune, a previously untouched world that survived the first Collapse, and has remained hidden until this point.

While on Neptune, Calus’ army will be roaming around the map, invading the planet and the capital city, Neomuna. While on this world, you’ll encounter Cloudstriders who are natives of this planet. While they are not exactly like Guardians, they have a similar role.

The Lightfall expansion will be a significant moment for the Destiny 2 community. Here, the pinnacle enemy that has been hunting the Light for years will arrive in the Solar System again, giving a new generation of Guardians an opportunity to fight back. What Bungie has planned after this point will also be explored in Lightfall.

The pre-order for Lightfall will arrive a few months before the official release of this expansion in Destiny 2.
