Destiny 2 content-hungry players hoping to satisfy that hunger with the upcoming Beyond Light expansion will have to put up with it for more than a month.
Bungie has received a lot of criticism for Destiny 2 for the game over the past two seasons. Season of Dawn and Season of the Worthy, despite some cool moments in the story, brought almost nothing new to the game in terms of content. The current season - Season of Arrivals, has been well received by players, especially as it serves as an overture to the great Beyond Light expansion. Unfortunately, as this is an ambitious addition that could be larger than the Forsaken, Beyond Light has been postponed and will be released only on November 10th.
When it comes to Destiny 2 expansions, delays are nothing new. And last year’s Shadowkeep’s release date was moved by 2 weeks. In the case of Beyond Light, which was originally planned for September 23, it is a delay of a month and a half, and the main reason for this is of course COVID-19 and the fact that Bungie employees are still working from home. But even without that, the delay is not surprising since Beyond Light brings a significant new chapter in the game's story, a new destination, a new raid, a bunch of new weapons, new powers and many other changes that will keep players playing for a long time.
The Season of Arrivals will accordingly last a bit longer, and Bungie will offer various benefits such as more experiential and other points such as valor and infamy as an excuse for the delay. The Moments of Triumph event will also last longer and allow players to loot old raids that no longer offer prizes just once a week.
Of course, the Solstice of Heroes event is coming, and due to the longer duration of the season, the Festival of the Lost event for Halloween is also included. In addition to all of the above, Bungie promises additional surprises, so maybe the delay will not be as tragic as we thought.
