Revealed in an ominous new trailer, Destiny 2’s latest expansion premises players’ return to the Moon, teasing confrontations with “shadows” and “new nightmares” that “once slumbered beneath the lunar surface.” Set for release on September 17th, the new expansion sets up quite the challenge as players attempt to “slay these nightmares” before they “cast humanity back into an age of darkness.” Check out the trailer below alongside the official description.
New Nightmares have emerged from the shadows of our forgotten Moon. Called forth by haunting visions from her tormented past, Eris Morn has returned and unleashed something that once slumbered beneath the lunar surface – a long dormant power even she cannot control.
Return to the Moon. Journey deep into a mysterious enemy citadel. Help Eris slay these nightmares before they reach out beyond the Moon to cast humanity back into an age of darkness.”
