All Destiny 2 Expansions in Order

All Destiny 2 Expansions in Order

Destiny 2 is so massive that you’d need a good expansion list just to see how far it’s come. It’s only made more complex by things like going free-to-play, but not completely, having content locked away and then unlocked, and also whatever is going on with Eris Morn, everyone’s favourite goth space wizard. 

Thankfully, if you’re hoping to figure out what’s going on in the world of Destiny 2, we’ve gone ahead and made a Destiny 2 expansion list for you. We’re not going to dive into the stories of each in too much depth, that’s what YouTube is for, but we’ll give you a little overview of what each expansion brought in.

Destiny 2 Expansion List 

Naturally, if you want the full story you should also try and catch up on what happened in Destiny 1, at the time simply known as Destiny, but again, YouTube is your friend here. With that out of the way, let’s dive into the Destiny 2 expansion in order. 

Curse of Osiris: December 5, 2017

it's osiris and the sadly departed safira

Curse of Osiris takes place after The Red War of the original Destiny 2 campaign, with the Tower in tatters after an assault, and things generally looking dire. You, of course, save the day, but not without a few casualties on the way. Curse of Osiris then came in and allowed players to visit Mercury, where you have to fight through different Vex monstrosities to try and rescue the legendary Osiris and his Ghost, Safira. 

Warmind: May 8, 2018

hi rasputin

Warmind focuses, unsurprisingly, on the main Warmind of the Destiny 2 universe. Players had to try and fight off enemies across the galaxy while also fighting off a big old Hive worm god called Xul, and also deal with the increasingly tricksy Warmind Rasputin. On the plus side, we did all get to explore Mars for a bit, and that was pretty cool. 

Forsaken: September 4, 2018

rip cayde

Forsaken was kind of a doozy. That’s because from hereon, the expansions became yearly instead of bi-yearly, making each one more sizable and meaty. This expansion saw players exploring the Tangled Shore, and the Dreaming City, both of which had their own unique qualities. This expansion added a new super for each Guardian Subclass along with the new Bow weapon, which everyone knows is for nerds who are particularly charming.

Shadowkeep: October 1, 2019

eris morn is well cool

Shadowkeep was the final expansion before the great reset of Beyond Light, but we’ll get to that shortly. It was also the first expansion released after Bungie and Activision Blizzard had split up, which technically makes it an indie game. Here we found ourselves back on the Moon fighting off Nightmares of the enemies players had defeated in the past. It was very cool, very red, and decidedly more spooky than a lot of what Destiny had done before.

Beyond Light: November 10, 2020

icy powers

This is where things get a little complicated. At this point, Bungie made the game free-to-play, but also removed The Red War, Curse of Osiris, and Warmind from the game and plonked them into the Content Vault. They also vaulted Mercury, the Leviathan, Mars, Io, and Titan too, to try and keep the game looking slim. Along with that, we got the new Armour system, the Cosmodrome from OG Destiny reappeared, and players got to grapple with Stasis on Europa, the first Darkness power Guardians have had.

The Witch Queen: February 22, 2022

savathun is brilliant

Here we have the most recent expansion, which is humungous, a word which isn’t used enough in our opinion. This saw guardians facing off against the incredibly cunning Hive god of cunning, Savathûn on her throne world. This is because she’s somehow made Light Guardians out of some Hive, which is incredibly creepy. This expansion also saw the beginnings of a subclass rework across the board, with Void classes being up first, and the other classes coming along in different seasons.

Future Destiny 2 Expansions 

oh no it's the witness

That brings us up to where we are now, which leads us all to wonder about future Destiny 2 expansions. Well, we’ve got some good news. The next two expansions, which should come in 2023 and 2024 are Lightfall and The Final Shape respectively. Not much is known about either of these, but we can expect new destinations to be a mix of old and new places, and probably a few more systems to wrap our poor exhausted minds around. We doubt we’ll see the end of the Destiny story in this game, but who knows what the future holds for Ghosts or Guardians, which ironically, is the name of our favourite post-metal band.
