There's a Reason Destiny 2's Into The Light Armor Sets Look So Familiar

The new Into the Light armor for Destiny 2 appears to be a callback to the original Destiny, with many avid fans pointing toward the earliest armor sets designed for the franchise. Destiny 2 Into the Light will feature new armor, weapons, and activities as Bungie and fans prepare for the launch of The Final Shape, the expansion that marks the conclusion of the Light and Darkness saga.

The Into the Light update will launch on April 9 with new content for all Destiny 2 players, sandbox changes, and other quality-of-life adjustments. Before the launch, Bungie will host livestreams on March 19, March 26, and April 2 to reveal the new content that will soon arrive in Into the Light. Fans watching on Twitch may earn rewards for watching any of the three livestreams, including the Those Held Dear and Echo Diamond emblems. More content will be available throughout April and May as the launch of Destiny 2's The Final Shape expansion approaches in June.
