"The line between Light and Dark is so very thin...let's cross it together."

— The Exo Stranger

Beyond Light is the fifth expansion of Destiny 2 and ninth expansion of the Destiny franchise.

Description

GO BEYOND THE LIGHT.

A new power is born out of the ancient Pyramid Ship above Europa's frozen frontier, and a dark empire has risen beneath, united under the banner of the Fallen Kell of Darkness, Eramis. Join your fellow Guardians and bring down the empire at any cost – even if it means wielding the Darkness itself.
