The Witch Queen
The Witch Queen will be the sixth expansion of Destiny 2 and the ninth expansion of the Destiny franchise after Destiny 2: Beyond Light. The Witch Queen’s Release Date was 22 May 2022. However, we do not have much detail about the expansion at the moment since Bungie has not provided any official information.
Lightfall
Lightfall will be the expansion released after Destiny 2: The Witch Queen. It can also be the last expansion in the Destiny 2 expansion list for the fact that Bungie has already launched several expansions in the game. Maybe we could see Destiny 3 in the future. It was released in 2024.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape
After years of build-up, the epic conclusion to Destiny 2’s Light and Darkness saga will finally arrive when The Final Shape expansion releases in May 2024.
Bungie has remained tight-lipped about story details, but this will likely be the climactic showdown between Guardians and The Witness that the franchise has been leading towards.
Set to take place in a new destination within The Witness’ pyramid fleet, the expansion will see players travel into the belly of the beast. Leaks indicate fan favorites like Eris Morn and Mara Sov will be integral to the plot, guiding and supporting Guardians in the final battle. New Darkness powers are also expected as Guardians take the fight directly to the ancient evil.
Beyond the campaign, a new raid and Crucible maps/modes will provide engaging endgame content. And with the Light and Darkness conflict coming to a head, the stage will be set for a dramatic reshaping of the Destiny universe going forward.
For devoted players who have followed the journey so far, May 2024 will be a bittersweet moment. While The Final Shape promises to deliver a thrilling conclusion, it also marks the end of an era for one of gaming’s landmark franchises.
But with Bungie continuing to support Destiny 2, Guardians can trust there are still bright days ahead after the dust settles from the final confrontation with The Witness.
