Destiny 2 Lightfall Raid, The Root Of Nightmares, Start Time & Details

gamespot.com:

The new raid launching as part of Destiny 2's Lightfall expansion will go live shortly after the new DLC itself. Bungie has announced that the Lightfall raid--The Root of Nightmares--will go live on March 10, giving players enough time to familiarize themselves with all of the expansion's gameplay changes and the Strand subclass. As usual, there'll be a race to see which Destiny 2 fireteam can score bragging rights--and possibly some incredible real-world loot if previous raids are any indicator--for the title of World's First. Here's what you need to know about the raid, including when it starts.

According to Bungie, the Root of Nightmares raid will become available at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET on Friday, March 10. One big change to the World's First race is an extension of Contest Mode, as it'll be extended by an extra day. Bungie says that this is being done so that teams pursuing the emblem can take more breaks, as well as allow anyone who has commitments on Friday to still have time to participate.

We must now confront the ancient threat growing at our doorstep.» Following a leak, Bungie officially confirmed the name of the raid as The Root of Nightmares, also sharing the screenshot you see below
