Bungie has announced Destiny 2’s next expansion, Beyond Light, as well as given details regarding the game’s next season and its presence on next-gen consoles.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light will have the player discovering a power born out of the ancient pyramid ship above Jupiter’s frozen moon, Europa. The mysteries surrounding this power will dissipate while fighting your way through brand new environments on Europa. In addition to a new planet, there is a new power as well: Stasis.
