'''Paradox''' is the eighth and final expansion of ''[[Destiny 2]]'', the twelfth and final expansion of the ''[[Destiny (franchise)|Destiny franchise]]'', and the first expansion of the ''[[Forum:Redux Trilogy|Redux Trilogy]]''.

The expansion's story centers around [[The Guardian]] and their revenge-driven fight to avenge the deaths of numerous civilians and protectors, including [[Zavala]], by bringing an end to the [[Forum:The Black Fleet|Black Fleet]] and its diabolical plan to reshape the universe in its own dark image. Along the way, the game's story also expands upon [[Forum:Mallory Bertha|Mallory Bertha]], the daughter of [[Forum:Hendrick Yor|Hendrick Yor]] and [[Forum:Kaguya Narusaka|Kaguya Narusaka]]; the [[Fallen]] [[Forum:House of Flame|House of Flame]] and [[Forum:Fireteam Infernium|Fireteam Infernium]]; the formation of a new [[Consensus]] within the frontiers of a new [[Forum:Sanctuary|Sanctuary]]; the arrivals of newly-risen Guardians, including [[Forum:Hannah Ciel|Hannah Ciel]], [[Forum:Myelin-13|Myelin-13]], [[Forum:Zhang Chan|Zhang Chan]], and [[Forum:Ezra Knightwalker|Ezra Knightwalker]]; and the birth of a new [[Forum:Fusion|power]].

The expansion was showcased at Tokyo Game Show 2023 and E3 2024.

After the Guardian's triumph over the last line of threats, including the Hive Witch Queen [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]], the allies of humanity are still reeling from the effects of the Pyramids' arrival, but now their world has come under attack by a new dark force unlike anything they had ever faced, and this time, it has a new name: The Black Swordsman, who now leads a dark army of fallen Guardians and enemy forces that have called upon the Darkness and destroyed the Last City in a diabolical plan to enshroud the universe. Work with the [[Vanguard]] remnants, [[Forum:House of Time|House of Time]], [[Empress Caiatl]]'s forces, [[Eris Morn]], [[Forum:Kayla Heartfilia|Kayla Heartfilia]], and Mal to avenge Zavala's death and prevent the Black Fleet from casting humanity into an age of darkness for good. Become a slayer of our worst nightmares.

Guardians have always been warriors of the Light and Darkness. In Paradox, for the first time, Guardians harness the power of a mysterious new energy with a new elemental power: Fusion. Along with an arsenal of all new gear, Guardians of each class can discover and wield devastating new powers in the form of powerful new subclasses and Supers. Surprise your enemies as a Hunter Cursebreaker with Fatality Chain, pulverize them with the Warlock Shadowdancer’s spellbinding Blade of Devastation, or flatten them with the Titan Stormwaker’s flaming Blackout Hammer. ​Claim and master the Huntress, Shinobi, and Meister classes. Fight your way into the heart of Aincrad. Face The Black Swordsman and The White Angel.

'''FIGHT DARKNESS ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.'''
