This date coincides with the end of Destiny 2‘s current Season of the Splicer. No other details have been confirmed. However, there is a lot of speculation regarding an upcoming expansion.
In a statement from earlier in the year, Bungie outlined their ambitions for Destiny 2. They mentioned that expansion following Beyond Light would be titled The Witch Queen. This statement also includes moving the release date of the expansion to 2022. Further details regarding The Witch Queen includes:
“The Witch Queen represents an important evolution in the ongoing story of Destiny 2. Beyond Light built the foundation and allowed us to weave the world-building of Destiny and Destiny 2 together, but The Witch Queen will light the fire on a strongly interconnected narrative across Lightfall and beyond, unlike anything we’ve ever attempted before, with characters, arcs, heroes and villains that persist over multiple future releases. Even more importantly, the conclusion of these releases will also conclude the “Light and Darkness Saga,” the conflict we first introduced with the launch of Destiny many years ago. As we’ve been developing The Witch Queen, we realized that we needed this release to be the first of many moments crucial to the story of Destiny. With so much leading to and dependent on what happens in The Witch Queen, we wanted to make sure that we gave ourselves enough time to build out this journey in the right way, starting with an exceptional first chapter in The Witch Queen.”
The Destiny 2 Showcase might also give more details about crossplay. The crossplay beta occurred last May 25-27. Further details on implementation might be revealed at the showcase.
