Destiny 2: Beyond Light Expansion and Season of the Hunt; upcoming Raid World First celebration will spotlight first fireteam to complete the Deep Stone Crypt raid.
Bungie has announced the next chapter in the Destiny universe has begun with the launch of the Destiny 2: Beyond Light expansion.
This is the first in a trilogy of expansions that marks a new age of Destiny 2 and reaffirms Bungie’s commitment to Destiny 2 for years to come. In addition to the launch of the new expansion, a new Season of content also arrives with the debut of Season of the Hunt which kicks off its story campaign on 18 November.
Both Season of the Hunt and the Beyond Light expansion will continue the thrilling narrative featuring Guardians in their ongoing battle to save humanity. In Beyond Light, players will explore the mysteries of Europa as they battle Eramis, the Fallen Kell of Darkness, who is determined to control the new power of Stasis to further her nefarious aims.
Meanwhile, in Season of the Hunt, Guardians will engage in exciting Wrathborn Hunt events as they battle the Hive God of War, Xivu Arath.
The launch of a new Destiny 2 expansion also means a new raid, one of Destiny’s pinnacle aspirational activities that requires six skilled Guardians working collaboratively in sync to accomplish an achievement greater than any one person could do on their own.
The Deep Stone Crypt raid will launch for all Beyond Light owners on November 22, kicking off a fan-favorite, worldwide competition to be the first fireteam to complete the epic raid, which is set on the icy frontier of Europa. Glory, title belts, and history-making await the World First six-player fireteam after Bungie’s confirmation of the official results.
Look for the official announcement of the “World First” team in the days following the launch of the Deep Stone Crypt raid.
“None of us will ever escape the endless cyle of war between Light and Dark unless we look for truth beyond the tale.”
