[News] Destiny 2: Beyond Light - Release Date, Exotics, Content Vault, And Everything Else We Know

[Hossam Taibi]

Bungie has confirmed it: You don't need to gear up for a new Destiny game. Instead, the developer is going to continue to support Destiny 2 into the foreseeable future, meaning that most of the things you've acquired, from premium cosmetics to hard-to-earn weaponry, will stay with you in Destiny for years to come. But although we won't be seeing Destiny reset with a new game the way it did with Destiny 2, it is about to get a substantial shakeup. The next big expansion for Destiny 2 is Beyond Light, and it's going to create some major changes when it arrives.

Beyond Light will majorly alter Destiny 2 as we know it. It marks the return of some big pieces of Destiny 1 content, including the Vault of Glass raid--but several locations and pieces of content that have been part of Destiny 2 since its release are being removed. Beyond Light will also change the onboarding experience for new players and is bringing the game to the next generation of game consoles.

We've run down all the details that are available about Beyond Light so far so you can see exactly what's ahead for the next chapter of Destiny 2.

Release Date, Platforms, And Preorder Details

Beyond Light is coming to Destiny 2 on November 10 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Steam, and Google Stadia. Destiny 2 is also now on Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One, with Beyond Light coming to Microsoft's subscription service on day one--so if you're a Game Pass subscriber, you can skip buying the expansion altogether, so long as you want to play on an Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S (more on next-generation versions below).

There are several different versions of Beyond Light you can get by preordering the expansion. The standard edition will run you $40 and just includes the game (the Destiny 2 base game, which is now known as New Light, is free-to-play, it's worth noting).
