What does it mean to be a Guardian?

”

Into the Light is a content update that was announced on November 27th, 2023. The update, released on April 9th and continuing throughout the rest of April and May of 2024, is intended to fill the gap between the narrative story of Season of the Wish and the delayed release of The Final Shape.

Content Updates

PvP

• 3 new Crucible maps: Eventide Labs on Europa, Cirrus Plaza on Neomuna, and Dissonance on the Terraformed Pyramid.

Activities

• Onslaught: a 3-player activity where Guardians set up defenses around the Last City and defend the Advanced Defense Unit from the Witness's forces in increasingly difficult waves. Guardians can also take the fight inside the Pyramid Ship.
• Pantheon: a new activity where players face raid bosses with increasing difficulty. The player's Power level decreases as more raid bosses become available, up to the equivalent of a Raid with the Contest modifier active.

Miscellaneous

• Players may now modify their character's appearance in the character screen but not their race.
• The Whisper and Zero Hour Exotic missions return, making Whisper of the Worm and Outbreak Perfected craftable at the Relic on Mars. The Whisper becomes available on launch while Zero Hour becomes available on May 14.
