Destiny 2: Lightfall's Launch Has Fans Polarized Amid Negative Reviews

This week’s release of Destiny 2: Lightfall saw a massive influx of players on Steam and console to check out Bungie’s next expansion for its online shooter. As the penultimate story for its Light and Darkness saga, paving the way for The Final Shape in 2024, Lightfall shifts the larger plot towards the concluding chapters of its 10 year story while revising its gameplay systems. However, the overall reception from the community seems to tell a different kind of story.

Much has happened in the universe of Destiny since its debut in 2014. Following large conflicts with the Fallen, Hive, Vex, Cabal, and Taken factions, the Guardians have now forged alliances with splinter groups from their opposing armies, and have even embraced some limited powers from the darkness. All the while, a new threat in the form of The Witness, an emissary of The Darkness and the current big bad of Destiny 2, who seeks the Traveler for their own nefarious purposes.At the end of the Season of the Seraph – a now-retired event that took place throughout December and to late February – we saw The Witness lead their Black Fleet to Earth to capture the Traveler. With The Traveler having left to remain just outside of orbit, the Guardians and their allies made a stand against the Black Fleet, leading to the events of Lightfall. In this current expansion, the Guardians and allied forces travel to Neomuna, a hidden city on Neptune that The Shadow Legion has invaded. Led by Emperor Calus, a returning D2 Year 1 villain who is now a servant to The Witness, he seeks to gain a hidden power source in the hidden city.
