Destiny 2 New Free Event Happening Now, Plus Details On The Final Shape

Check out Destiny 2 soon to get some new free content, and get the latest details on the upcoming expansion.

Starting yesterday, Destiny 2 introduced a new content update titled Into The Light. The new update is free for all players and includes a two month window of updates which include wave-defense Onslaught activity; iconic fan-favorite weapons with standard and limited-edition variants; the new Hall of Champions social space; reprised The Whisper and Zero Hour Exotic missions; a new raid boss gauntlet called Pantheon; fresh rewards; and more.

Additionally the developers have detailed what to expect from the upcoming expansion, The Final Shape. 

The expansion releases on June 4th and takes place within The Pale Heart of the Traveler as you chase after the Witness. The new expansion will include a Prismatic Subclass—which combines the powers of the Light and Darkness—as well as the first-ever Exotic class items in Destiny 2 and the Dread, the Witness’s new enemy faction.

Alongside the three new Light Supers previously announced, Guardians will wield the Light and Darkness together for the first time to unleash the Prismatic subclass. This subclass introduces new options to enhance and customize each playstyle with the combination of multiple element types. Also, each class will get a unique grenade that combines multiple subclass elements: Warlocks will have Stasis/Void, Titans will have Strand/Arc, and Hunters will have Solar/Stasis.

New enemy encounters will also happen, including:

• Grim: A highly mobile flying enemy that slows and suppresses a Guardian’s abilities if they get too close.

• Husk: An acrobatic melee bruiser that sends a deployable geist enemy toward you unless you hit their weak spot with a final blow.

• Attendant and Weaver: By wielding Stasis and Strand, respectively, these units can instantly change the flow of the encounter and force Guardians to pay attention to their positioning on the battlefield.
