To kick off the Destiny 2 Showcase today, Bungie revealed the first trailer for Lightfall. The video itself highlighted some of the new abilities that players will be able to use in the game while also placing a focus on the villains at the center of this story. At the conclusion of the trailer, it was confirmed that Destiny 2: Lightfall will launch early next year on February 28, 2023. When it does arrive, it will be coming to all platforms which includes PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.ย
For a prolonged period of time, Bungie has been building Destiny 2’s story toward the narrative that will be told in Lightfall. In a general sense, Lightfall is being pitched as the end of the ongoing battle between light and dark. As such, a number of key moments from past expansions and seasons in Destiny 2 will finally be coming to a head with Lightfall.ย
As mentioned, Lightfall will also be introducing a number of new gameplay mechanics to Destiny 2 as well. Shown off in the trailer, one of those new abilities takes the form of a grappling hook that players can utilize. Not only can this hook be used to more quickly get around the map, but it can also be used as a weapon to take down foes. In short, this looks like one of the coolest and most unique abilities that Bungie has added to Destiny 2 in the game’s history.ย
