In Destiny 2, the expansion Beyond Light is on the horizon. Bungie has released a video that contains more than meets the eye. We show you 4 easily overlooked details.
This video is about: On October 27, Bungie released a Vidoc (video documentation) about Beyond Light . In it, the Destiny developer discusses the upcoming expansion on November 10.
We see a mix of cutscenes related to the story of the DLC, featuring developers and other Bungie employees like Luke Smith presenting new mechanics.
Some of the major highlights of the video include:
However, those who look closely will find plenty of other exciting information about the highly anticipated expansion. MeinMMO shows you 4 of them here.
1. Will Omnigul’s Strike return in Beyond Light?
This Strike info is notable: The Vidoc showed gameplay from Beyond Light, which apparently features a strike. This is strikingly reminiscent of one of the most famous strikes from Destiny 1: The Will of Crota.
Veterans will clearly recognize this section after hundreds of attempts to snag a perfect “Malok’s Grip“:
In the mentioned strike, players face the screaming witch Omnigul – who is a cult favorite. For instance, in the current Halloween event, we can dress up as her. But wait, Omnigul is dead.
Bungie hasn’t forgotten about this:
- In the new strike, it’s no longer against Omnigul, but Navôta. We can gather this from the mission description shown briefly in the video.
- It also mentions the name of the strike “The Disgraced”.
Guardians now speculate that a new witch has taken over Omnigul’s position and continues her work in the Cosmodrome.

If this is indeed a strike and not a story mission in the old strike area, many Guardians would be pleased. Because the roadmap for Season 12 mentioned only one new strike (Mirror Corridor). It is quite possible that Bungie has not mentioned “old” strikes by name in the new context in the roadmap.
2. What does the Cosmodrome look like in Beyond Light?
What we know about the location: In the new expansion, the Cosmodrome area is making a comeback. For the first time, a map of the location was shown in the Vidoc. It is noticeable that the area is significantly smaller than in Destiny 1.
Here you can see both Cosmodrome locations compared:
Experts of the Rise of Iron expansion also note that the Plaguelands are completely missing.

Having to settle for a smaller Cosmodrome at the start of Beyond Light is not too surprising. It is assumed that the location will be expanded in Year 4 with ongoing seasons.
Interestingly, at the former location of Randal the Vandal in Beyond Light, there is a Lost Sector. We can only hope to encounter the rebellious Fallen again.
The new, revamped entry point for new players and nostalgics takes place in the Cosmodrome, where Shaw Han guides players through the location in Old Russia.
On the next page, we’ll delve into hints about more than one new damage type and enemies that will become allies.
