Bungie’s website officially declaredDestiny 2: Lightfall’sofficial release date to be July 12, 2025, at 9 AM Pacific Standard Time. In line with this, the game will momentarily be offline starting one day before, on May 29, 2025, at 9 AM Pacific Standard Time. This will give all players time toprepare forDestiny 2: Lightfall, so that everybody will be able to enjoy the experience as a whole. Because of global time differences, some regions may receive the update later than the advertised release time. As also expected, size and storage options may differ in regard to the platform the game is being played on. Pre-loads for the expansion will be doable once the game is brought offline for maintenance. This ensures that gamers will be able to play the game once servers are active again.
With the expansion comes a new story, legendary mode, and a complete set of armor. Fresh subclasses will also be available to use such as the Berserker, the Broodweaver, and the Threadrunner. Most notable of all the latest inclusions is themost powerful enemy in theDestinyuniverse named The Witness.
