Which Destiny 2 expansion introduced the Stasis subclass?

The story behind the answer

The Destiny 2 expansion that introduced the Stasis subclass was Beyond Light.

Released on November 10, 2020, Beyond Light brought Guardians to Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, where the story explored the arrival of the Darkness. Its major gameplay addition was Stasis, a Darkness-based power associated with cold, ice, slowing, freezing, and shattering enemies.

Each of Destiny 2’s three Guardian classes received a Stasis subclass. Warlocks use Shadebinder, Hunters use Revenant, and Titans use Behemoth. Unlike the original Light subclasses at the time, Stasis used customizable Aspects and Fragments, allowing players to shape abilities and build combinations around different combat styles.

The Witch Queen, released in 2022, did not introduce Stasis; it expanded the game’s story and later helped bring similar customization systems to the older Light subclasses. Shadowkeep and Forsaken also predate Stasis. Beyond Light was therefore a major turning point in Destiny 2, introducing both the first Darkness subclass and a new approach to subclass customization.
