Bungie reportedly kept players in the dark about the true purpose of Destiny 2 Lightfall – rumor

Destiny 2 Lightfall has had a pretty miserable reception from players, with an overwhelmingly negative rating on Steam that’s still growing. Some fans say it feels like filler DLC, something a prominent Destiny 2 leaker has also been talking about, suggesting that Lightfall was originally intended to be a part of The Final Shape expansion.

The Lightfall expansion for Destiny 2 released this week, bringing players to a new location on Neptune, Neomuna. There, players will battle the combined forces of The Witness and Calus’ Shadow Legion and acquire the new Strand subclass so they can fight back against these forces of darkness. Despite an abundance of CGI cutscenes that fans love about the DLC, the actual content in Lightfall doesn’t feel as deep as in previous major expansions.

Destiny 2 leaker Destiny Leaks hit with a bombshell just days after Lightfall came into existence. The statement that what Lightfall was originally supposed to be is now The Final Shape expansion, due for release in 2024. The Lightfall we’re playing now is said to be fill-in material made up in part of what The Witch Queen was intended to be and what its final form will be.
