Bungie knows how to put together a good trailer, and this latest one for Destiny 2: Beyond Light is more evidence of that, but we think the studio is in for its toughest time yet when it comes to actually marketing the expansion. This latest piece of DLC is said to be fairly significant, except it comes out on the same day as the Xbox Series X and 48 hours before the US launch of the PlayStation 5. How on earth are you supposed to compete with that?
Regardless, we're sure the most hardcore of Destiny fans will still be there on day one. Including us because we'll have to review it! This trailer is all about the newest location — the frozen wastelands of Europa. This area has been teased since the very beginning of the franchise in concept art, so this feels like a fairly important moment. Variks is also back, who you may remember from the Prison of Elders activity.
Are you still playing Destiny 2? Are you excited for the Beyond Light expansion despite the delay? Disable mines for Variks in the comments below.

I'll probably pick this up, particularly given that the PS5 is due to play it at 4k60fps which I'm super excited about.
After another 1500 hours in D2, I had to tap out. The direction they have taken this game with the seasonal content pass, the FOMO, the sun setting and vaulting of content just to recycle in old D1 content....none of it sits well with me. I want to enjoy this game still but I just can’t at the moment.
Can anyone explain this to me. Is this paid DLC? I see Destiny 2 regularly on sale for only a few pounds. Is it worth playing single player only? I'm not too chuffed with the idea of dealing with randos online.
@Octane the base game is FTP, so don’t pay for it if you’ve never played. Beyond Light is paid DLC-ish meaning some of the gameplay changes and areas in the game spill over to the FTP version.
Jetpacks? Is that going to be a thing now?
People are like, Lets watch this new trailer........ Lets see how big Europa is?
Me, Yay!!!! Variks is back
LOL
The seasonal pass and FOMO direction they took just killed the game for me, and I have close to 900h spent on PS4 with a few dozens more on PC after they activated cross-save. It's a shame, it has such good gameplay and I love it, but I feel nothing now when I see these trailers. All I see are season passes that you need to grind because the exotic quests will be gone after a month or two.
I won't be giving Bungie any money for this. Forsaken and Shadowkeep just dropped on Game Pass today and this will be on there too at launch. Guess it's time to cross save my PS4 progress to my Xbox and just play it over there.
@shafedog247 fortunate for me, I waited. I got burnt out, after D1. Then they released d2 ftp. And now gamepass just released most of the dlc. It says I have all the dlcs, including beyond light, so that's cool.
@PhhhCough This is the way to go with D2. I wish I had done it. Bungies model does not sit well with me, as it penalises dedicated players who have been with the game from day one. The season pass thing sucks as well tbh, lol.
@XurAgentofthe9 yeah. I realized, only recently, to hold off on release day purchases and wait for discounts/sales. Which seems to be ever more likely, what with games costing $70usd+. Unless it's a multiplayer game, i don't want to be at a disadvantage. Or a game I'm excited for, CP2077
