Lightfall is the next, highly anticipated expansion for Destiny 2. The release is actually only a few days away, but the first players in Europe and Japan have already been able to start the game and the update. There wasn’t much to see yet – but it’s still enough to inspire enthusiasm.
When does Lightfall start?
As a user on reddit explains, Guardians in Europe and Japan were able to start downloading Lightfall in the middle of the night today, February 26th. After that, the game could even start.
However, players could not do much with the update yet. Nobody went further than the title screen. The error has now been fixed and Bungie has apologized for it.
Desinty 2 should be much harder with Lightfall. Check out the expansion launch trailer here:

However, you should not have any disadvantages other than not being able to play Destiny 2 at the moment if you do not follow the steps. Despite the mistake, many users say thank you for the unwanted “sneak peek”.
