- Main article: Red War
Base game (pre-Beyond Light)[edit]
Humanity's last safe city has fallen to an overwhelming invasion force, led by Ghaul, the imposing commander of the brutal Red Legion. He has stripped the city's Guardians of their power, and forced the survivors to flee. You will venture to mysterious, unexplored worlds of our solar system to discover an arsenal of weapons and devastating new combat abilities. To defeat the Red Legion and confront Ghaul, you must reunite humanity's scattered heroes, stand together, and fight back to reclaim our home.[4][5][6]
The game's story focuses on the Light, what happens when it gets taken from the Guardians, the lengths they'll go to to get it back, and Ghaul's coveting of it. The Darkness is not explained until Shadowkeep.

The Final Shape[edit]
- Main article: The Final Shape
Decades, centuries, millennia and eons, all of it was for this moment. The Witness has transformed the Traveler, and gone somewhere beyond reach. Thanks to the Ahamkara's wish, now, the path is open, and now, it's up to you, the Guardian, to finish what you started that day, when you were first resurrected. From your resting place, on Old Russia, on the ruins of civilization on the Cosmodrome, to the Moon deepest and darkest regions, to the furthest corners of this long-abandoned Sol System, and to realms beyond belief. Facing all sorts of enemies and foes; from mere ambitious pirates, to time-altering war machines, and to even eldritch, nightmarish horrors in the Hive. Now, it is time to face off the one being that caused all of this, and show the galaxy, and all of the universe what you, and the Guardians, are really made of. It is time, to become legend.
The Final Shape was initially expected to release in February 2024, but due to quality concerns for the project in general in October 2023, the release was pushed to June 2024.[7] To cover the delay period, Bungie released a free update called Into the Light in April 2024, adding new activities and weapons to prepare for The Final Shape. The Final Shape sees events taking place in the Pale Heart, a space within the Traveler opened by the Witness, and includes the return of Cayde-6 (with Nathan Fillion reprising this role). This expansion has been stated by Bungie to be the culmination of the ten years of Destiny's first saga, the "Light and Darkness Saga".[8]
Following The Final Shape, Bungie plans to change their release model from a large expansion with smaller seasons, to two moderate sized expansions per year, starting mid 2025 with "The Edge of Fate"[9], followed by "Codename Behemoth" in early 2026.[10]
