WhileDestiny 2players areearning their Skimmer hoverboardsand participating inthe Guardian Games, some new content is just around the corner. No, I’m not talking abouttheGhostbusterscrossoverarriving next week, but the sparsely detailedInto the Lightupdate. In the most recentThis Week in Destinycommunication, Bungie offered a smidge of info about the forthcoming content drop, revealing some art and stamping a release date on the update.
WithThe Final Shapedelayed, Season 23 has a longer run time than initially anticipated. While Bungie has been filling this time withincentives and reward-laden questslikeRiven’s Wishes, there has yet to be any substantive new content. That’s whereInto the Lightcomes in, promising to offer something to keep Guardians busy untilThe Final Shapearrives in June.
What has Bungie shared aboutInto the Light?
In the TWID, Bungie announced that theInto the Lightupdate would hitDestiny 2on April 9. Alongside the new content, the game will also see some sandbox and more general quality-of-life tuning. Like details about theInto the Lightcontent itself, Bungie wasn’t ready to share any specific information about the April 9 updates. Thankfully, the TWID did note that questions would soon be answered, as threeInto the Light-focused live streams are inbound.
Interested players can tune in to the livestreams starting on March 19 at 1 PM. The next one will be on March 26 at the same time, and April 2 will be the last, also at 1 PM. Bungie notes that each livestream will cover different info, noting, “Each will focus on different part of the content update and be presented by our developers, who will be sharing tons of information and providing a hands-on preview.”
Though there’s still a lot of mystery surrounding whatInto the Lightactually is, the TWID did host some artwork that may offer some answers. The art depicts a Fireteam of three Guardians in the Last City, being swarmed by various Hive enemies. Alongside the Guardians, there appears to be a turret of some kind, and it looks like the OG Tower has been restored.
While it’s still too early to say with any certainty, the art impliesInto the Lightcould include some kind of horde or “Tower” defense (get it?) content centered in the Last City. Players have beenasking for a horde mode in Destiny 2 for years, and it’d be a welcome addition to the game in this dry spell before the new expansion. Of course, players will have to wait a little longer before the curtain draws.
