Every Destiny 2 expansion: Full list of DLCs

Bungie’s live-service title Destiny 2 has been around since 2017, so here’s a list of all the DLCs and Expansions that have been released so far from The Curse of Osiris to The Final Shape.

For FPS fans looking to engage in a deep and sprawling sci-fi story, look no further than Destiny 2. First released back in 2017, Destiny 2 is now in its 23rd season, with major Expansions still to come.

All of this new content means that older Expansions and areas are retired, so it’s difficult to keep track of all the DLC. We’re looking back through Destiny 2’s history, listing all of Destiny 2’s paid expansions in chronological order.

• Red War
• Curse of Osiris
• Warmind
• Forsaken
• Shadowkeep
• Beyond Light
• 30th Anniversary Expansion
• The Witch Queen
• Lightfall
• The Final Shape

Red War – September 2017

This was a part of the vanilla Destiny 2 experience and can be considered as the first downloadable content for the game. The Red War focused on conflicts with the Cabal, under the command of Dominus Ghaul.

The Red War marked the shift of the franchise from consoles to PC as well. The UI received a massive tune-up and new weapon foundries were introduced to the game.

Raid

• Leviathan (Sunset)

Curse of Osiris – December 2017

Curse of Osiris was Destiny 2’s first Expansion pack, arriving on December 5, 2017, and brought players to the planet Mercury for the first time. This DLC Expansion included the Eater of Worlds Raid and the Infinite Forest, a procedurally generated area that allowed players to visit simulations of Mercury’s past, present, and future.

Curse of Osiris received mixed reviews and was widely considered Destiny 2’s most disappointing DLC drop.

Raid:

• Eater of Worlds (Sunset)

Warmind – May 2018

Releasing on May 8, 2018, Warmind was Destiny 2’s second Expansion and the final piece of Year One content.

Warmind brought Destiny 2 players back to Mars but introduced an area that Destiny 1 players hadn’t seen before – Hellas Basin. Guardians had to contend with the awakened Hive Army and also saw the return of Warmind Rasputin from the original game.

The Warmind Expansion also introduced the Valor and Glory ranking system, as well as Escalation Protocol, where players had to defend towers from waves of Hive.

Raid

• Spire of Stars (Sunset)

Forsaken – September 2018

Destiny 2 Year Two was kicked off by September 2018’s Forsaken, which introduced the yearly seasonal content that Bungie continues to this day.

Forsaken was arguably a turning point for Destiny 2, introducing a ton of mechanics that shaped the game going forward. It marked the arrival of the Bow, the Gambit PvPvE mode, and Breakthrough mode, along with a brand new dungeon and Raid.

Forsaken contained three more Seasons, which you can check out below:

• Season of the Outlaw (launch)
• Season of the Forge (December 4, 2018)
• Season of the Drifter (March 5, 2019)
• Season of the Opulence (June 4, 2019)

Dungeon

• Shattered Throne

Raid

• Last Wish

Shadowkeep – October 2019

Continuing with the Season model, Destiny 2 introduced the Shadowkeep Expansion on October 1, 2019. Shadowkeep kicked off Year 3 and had players visit the Moon, which long-time Guardians would recognize from the original.

Although introducing the Festering Core and Scarlet Keep Strikes, the most dramatic change Shadowkeep was the Armor 2.0 system. This allowed Guardians to upgrade their armor as they saw fit, removing the need to wear armor they didn’t like just for better stats.

Here are all of Destiny 2 Shadowkeep’s Seasons:

• Season of the Undying (launch)
• Season of Dawn (December 10, 2019)
• Season of the Worthy (March 10, 2020)
• Season of Arrivals (June 9, 2020)

Dungeon

• Pit of Heresy

Raid

• Garden of Salvation

Beyond Light – November 2020

Destiny 2’s fifth Expansion, Beyond Light, was released on November 10, 2020, and marked Year Four. Beyond Light took Guardians to the icy Europa, Jupiter’s closest moon. This was when Destiny 2 first went free-to-play and vaulted Titan, Io, Mars, Mercury, and Leviathan to stop the game from getting too big. These locations were removed with the possibility that they’ll be revamped and added back at a later date.

Plus, Destiny 1’s fan-favorite Vault of Glass Raid was remastered and hit Destiny 2 during May’s Season of the Splicer. Interestingly enough, Beyond Light is the last expansion to launch without a single dungeon. Here are all of Beyond Light’s Seasons:

• Season of the Hunt (launch)
• Season of the Chosen (February 9, 2021)
• Season of the Splicer (May 11, 2021)
• Season of the Lost (August 24, 2021)

Raids:

• Deep Stone Crypt
• Vault of Glass (Reprised)

Bungie 30th Anniversary Event – December 2021

Bungie celebrated their 30th Anniversary Event inside Destiny 2, offering players some Halo-inspired cosmetics. Players could also earn the Gjallarhorn, a fan-favorite Exotic rocket launcher from Destiny 1, by completing a new dungeon called the Grasp of Avarice.

While nowhere as big as the other Expansions and seasons, it kept players tiding over while The Witch Queen was delayed until February 2022.

The Witch Queen – February 2022

February 2022’s The Witch Queen is one of the biggest Expansions Destiny 2 has received yet. Launching with a highly-rated campaign, The Witch Queen brought the Witch Queen’s Throne World, the new Vow of Disciple Raid race, weapon crafting, and Glaive Exotics.

Here’s a list of all the seasons in The Witch Queen:

• Season of the Risen (Launch)
• Season of the Haunted (May 24, 2022)
• Season of Plunder (August 23, 2022)
• Season of the Seraph (December 6, 2022)

Dungeons:

• Duality
• Spire of the Watcher

Raids:

• Vow of the Disciple
• King’s Fall (Reprised)

Lightfall – February 2023

Destiny 2 Lightfall is the penultimate campaign in the Light and Dark saga and saw quite a few changes to the Exotics in the game. Lore-wise, this was a very important campaign because it answered some major questions including the existence of the fabled 15th Wish.

Bungie also introduced a new Darkness subclass known as Strand, a brand new object known as the Veil, and the planet of Neomuna. Here’s a list of all the seasons in Lightfall:

• Season of Defiance (Launch)
• Season of the Deep (May 22, 2023)
• Season of the Witch (August 22, 2023)
• Season of the Wish (November 28, 2023)

Dungeons

• Ghosts of the Deep
• Warlord’s Ruin

Raids

• Root of Nightmares
• Crota’s End (Reprised)

The Final Shape – June 2024

Destiny 2’s The Final Shape DLC is the last expansion in the Light vs Dark saga. This expansion has also moved away from the Seasonal model and into an Episodic model like Valorant.

These Episodes are just like seasons, but with a few differences. While Seasons weren’t broken down into further categories, Episodes will be broken down into three acts each, and will last for around 4 months each.

This storyline in this expansion takes place within the Pale Heart of the Traveler and sees the return of a lot of fan favorite characters like Cayde-6

Episodes

• Echoes
• Revenant
• Heresy

Raids

• TBA

Dungeons

• TBA

That sums up everything you need to know about all the expansions and DLCs in Destiny 2 so far. The Final Shape has also introduced a new Power cap and new Exotic items for you to use against The Witness.
