Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is the fourth expansion for Destiny 2, a first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie. Released on October 1st, 2019, it is the first major expansion to be published independently by Bungie, after acquiring publishing rights for the series from Activision in early 2019.
As well as the first is about to arrive on Steam rather than the Battle.net client, which had been used since launch.
The expansion returns players to the Moon as a playable destination, with the location reprised and expanded upon from the original version of the first Destiny game.
Shadowkeep includes new content for every aspect of the game; including new missions, new Player versus Environment (PvE) locations, Player versus Player (PvP) maps, weapons, armor, exotic gear, a new raid, as well as further fundamental changes to the core functionality of the game, including a revamped armor system.
Along with Shadowkeep, the original Destiny 2 base game was re-released as a free-to-play title under a release titled Destiny 2: New Light. New Light features all of the content of the original Destiny 2 base game.
As well as the content from the first two expansions, Curse of Osiris and Warmind, has access to the full PvE strikes playlist, the competitive PvP playlists and maps, and the hybrid PvE/PvP mode Gambit.
Players of New Light also have access to all the playable destinations in the game, including the Tangled Shore, the Dreaming City, as well as the Moon without needing to own either the Forsaken and/or Shadowkeep expansions.
