Destiny 2<\/strong><\/em>‘s next flagship expansion, Beyond Light<\/em>, is on the horizon, and Bungie is ramping up the hype with Stasis subclass news<\/a>. While what fans have seen so far surely looks exciting, it is worth remembering that a lot hinges on this expansion and whether Bungie can deliver another Forsaken<\/em>-level home run.<\/p>\n

After the summer of 2018,\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em><\/a> saw a huge spike in player numbers with the launch of Forsaken<\/em>. For many, it is fair to say that Forsaken<\/em> was everything they wanted or the game needed. Destiny<\/em> has recently gone through tumultuous times, and another expansion like 2018’s hit might be\u00a0needed to unite and bolster the playerbase.<\/p>\n

The launch of Beyond Light<\/em> has to be strong because Bungie has plans to usher in a new age of Destiny<\/em><\/a>\u00a0starting this fall, and if it cannot start out strong, it might be hard to pick up momentum later. While last year also rejuvenated the playerbase with Shadowkeep<\/em>, this jump was largely helped by the move to Steam and New Light<\/em>,\u00a0which made the game free. This year, there is no such shift, which means all the work falls on the shoulders of Beyond Light<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

And the situation isn’t helped by\u00a0its launch schedule either. Beyond Light<\/em> will be going up against major candidates such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla<\/em> and Cyberpunk 2077<\/em><\/a>, not to mention the console launches and the craze of the holiday season. Furthermore, Beyond Light<\/em>‘s asking price, especially in the deluxe editions, is comparable to that of a AAA game. In reality, Beyond Light<\/em> is essentially an add-on because players can progress through their pursuits and power leveling system just fine without the expansion.<\/p>\n

Competition aside, Beyond Light<\/em>‘s true\u00a0benchmark is Forsaken<\/em> because it is the only expansion that delivered fully original and expansive zones. Player standards have inevitably been raised, and Shadowkeep<\/em> didn’t quite meet them<\/a> a year ago. Europa is yet another never-before-seen zone, but it is unknown whether it can become the “endgame destination” that the Dreaming City was.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Bungie will need to prove\u00a0itself with this upcoming release since\u00a0it hasn’t had outside help in development for the first time since the inception of Destiny<\/em>. As far as we know, Beyond Light<\/em> has been developed solely by Bungie, which is commendable as is. If the studio can show that it can push Forsaken-quality experiences on its own, the future of the franchise will\u00a0look much brighter.<\/p>\n

But, unfortunately for Beyond Light<\/em>, it also has to make up for the huge loss of content with the introduction of the Destiny Content Vault<\/a>. Somehow, this expansion will need to make the removal of 4 destinations sting less and provide a fulfilling start to a trilogy of expansions, stretching out to 2022.<\/p>\n

It isn’t all doom and gloom as Beyond Light<\/em> also had many surprises up its sleeve such as the return of the Exo Stranger and the highly\u00a0anticipated\u00a0Darkness subclasses<\/a>. Fans are looking forward to it for the most part, and hopefully a Destiny 2<\/em> will begin a strong year 4.<\/p>\n

Destiny 2: Beyond Light<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is available on November 10 for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n
