Destiny 2 introduces a fresh location with every new DLC release for players to explore. With Lightfall, Guardians can travel to Neomuna, a vibrant city on the planet Neptune. We conducted a map comparison and explain why Lightfall could be larger than Witch Queen.
How big is the map in Lightfall? We can’t assess that yet, as Neomuna has not been made publicly available as a map. Nevertheless, snippets from the ViDoc and a new feature hint at the true size of the colorful, glowing city on Neptune.
From huge roads that players can traverse to skyscrapers that can be climbed, Lightfall offers a vast playground for Guardians to enjoy. But why could Lightfall be larger than Witch Queen? We’ll show you.
New feature opens up more possibilities and space
What will make Lightfall a larger map? Strand, the new class in Lightfall, could be the key to forcing Bungie to create more open maps.
Witch Queen is a large map with its countless corridors and caves, but it limits the exploration frenzy of the Guardians. Roofs or many ledges cannot be climbed, as Bungie has locked these areas. This is why the vast Throne World shrinks rather quickly.
In contrast, Lightfall will allow you to explore the entire map. Huge buildings and constructs that were previously locked can be climbed by Guardians, thanks to Strand. Even though there are smaller caves, much happens upwards, providing Guardians with new opportunities to feel free.
Perhaps the Throne World of Savathun and Neomuna are similarly sized on the Guardian map, but with Strand and the walkable environments on Neptune, the size of the new map increases significantly. On the rooftops, one could even spot a kind of event, perhaps a public one.
How is this developing for upcoming maps? Strand sets new standards, as with the new Spider-Man ability, Guardians will undoubtedly test every map to its limits. If Neomuna has walkable roofs and platforms, the team might feel inspired to expand future maps to Strand standards. Once the Guardians understand the ability, only the sky will be the limit.
It’s a cool new feature that benefits players, but it also brings new challenges to Destiny 2. For both the system and the developer. It remains to be seen how long it will take before Bungie might disable the ability, as Guardians will find new glitches with it.
How long do you estimate this will last? Do you think Bungie will have to disable your new, airy abilities soon because Guardians will misbehave with them? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
