Bungie recently held a special Showcase event to reveal details about the future of Destiny 2 and revealed Lightfall as the next expansion for the game. Apart from Lightfall’s reveal, Bungie also announced the launch of Season of Plunder in the game. Bungie also announced a partnership with Epic Games which will bring Destiny 2 to Epic Games Store and will have two crossovers with Fall Guys and Fortnite. Fortnite-inspired ornament sets will also appear in Destiny 2, and this will be the very first time when original Fortnite characters will debut in another game.
Destiny 2 will get the following Fortnite-themed ornament sets:
- Black Knight-themed Knightly Noire Titan ornament
- Drift-themed Painted Kitsune Warlock ornament
- Oblivion-themed Eternal Vengeance Hunter ornament
Destiny 2 is now available on Epic Games Store and everyone who claims the game before August 30, will also receive the Destiny 2: 30th Anniversary Event pack for free. Fortnite players will be able to customize their characters with new Outfits inspired by iconic Destiny characters such as Commander Zavala, Ikora Rey, and the Exo Stranger. The game will also get Destiny 2-themed Back Blings, Pickaxes, and Sparrow Gliders. The cosmetics are now available in Fortnite, and you can add them to your collection.
Apart from customization options, Fortnite players will also get a new Fortnite Island inspired by the classic Crucible map Javelin-4 from Destiny 2. The map has been developed by the creator team PWR using Fortnite’s Creative toolset. The island also features ‘Control Mode’-style gameplay with unique weapons and ultimate abilities. The island is live in the game right now as well.
The second title to get the Destiny 2 treatment is Fall Guys. Players in Fall Guys will be able to jump in the Blunderdome with Destiny-themed Costumes from September 17, including Titan-, Hunter-, and Warlock-themed outfits, a new “Spicy Ramen” celebration, and other accessories.
Destiny 2: Lightfall is the brand-new expansion for the game and it will feature the formal Cabal emperor Calus who has returned as a Disciple of The Witness. Calus’s Shadow Legion has overtaken Neptune’s capital and Guardians are now being sent to bring the battle to the city to reveal the hidden threads that bind us and the mastery to weave them anew.
Check out the reveal trailer for the new expansion below:
Three main aspects of Destiny 2: Lightfall include:
- The Power of Strand: Lightfall introduces a brand-new subclass element in Strand. Tap into the invisible threads that bind reality, then grab hold and take control. Harness the power of Strand in ways never seen in Destiny 2: from weaving powerful attacks to pulling off incredible new mobility options (grapple, anyone?).
- A Neon Metropolis: Neptune’s pristine capital city of Neomuna is your playground. Explore the city’s towering skyscrapers and neon-drenched streets where danger, beauty, and mystery brim around every corner.
- A New Definitively Destiny Campaign: Discover new abilities and new enemies in Lightfall’s epic campaign. Explore Neomuna, fight the Shadow Legion, and face the brand-new Tormentors – powerful enemies that will push Guardians’ skills to their limits. For Guardians who want an even more harrowing test, take on the Legendary mode for more challenge, and even better rewards.
