With only a couple of days to go before its official release, Bungie accidentally releases an early update for Destiny 2: Lightfall that locks players out from logging in if they've downloaded it. There seems to be plenty of excitement for the upcoming Lightfall expansion within the community, as Bungie has continued to release new details over the past few weeks, from blogs to videos. The latest trailer arrived inside of the recent PlayStation State of Play, giving fans their best look at how powerful The Witness really is.

Meanwhile, Lightfall appears to tap into a heavy vaporwave visual style, as players head to Neptune where Calus and his Shadow Legion threaten the hidden city of Neomuna.
