Which Destiny 2 expansion was released on February 28, 2023?

Lightfall was the Destiny 2 expansion released on February 28, 2023. It is the game's seventh major expansion and begins its sixth year of extended content.

The expansion follows the Witness and Emperor Calus as they attack Neomuna, a technologically advanced human city hidden on Neptune. Guardians also discover Strand, a Darkness-based subclass built around manipulating psychic connections and movement.

Lightfall's launch date came after a schedule change. The Witch Queen was delayed from 2021 to February 2022, which pushed Lightfall from its originally planned late-2022 window into early 2023. This is why Lightfall arrived later than some early announcements suggested.

A common mix-up is confusing Lightfall with The Final Shape. The Final Shape followed in 2024 and concluded the first major Light and Darkness saga, while Lightfall served as the penultimate expansion in that storyline.
