The House of Salvation's motivations are obvious, because we've been killing Fallen leaders for six years now and the effect of that is plain to see. Does it succeed? To an extent.īeyond Light's antagonist, Eramis, proves a good early foil, because the Fallen feel relatable in a way Destiny aliens rarely do.

Given that so much has been removed, though, there's more pressure than ever for Beyond Light to perform-to satisfy the needs of a playerbase hungry for new, meaningful activities. This isn't the first time Destiny 2 has undergone a major overhaul, but where Forsaken's sandbox changes were a successful attempt to bring a maligned sequel closer to its more beloved predecessor, Beyond Light looks forward, towards a sustainable vision of what Destiny can be for the next three years.

The latter removes a number of older destinations, along with their associated activities, raids and quests, in an effort to reduce the game's size and make new content easier to test and implement. The former gives all legendary weapons a power cap, ensuring they can only be infused for a year after their release. Two new schemes-gear sunsetting and the Destiny Content Vault-work to deprecate much of what came before. But as traditional as Beyond Light itself may be, it arrives alongside a more dramatic shift in how Destiny 2 works.
