Prior to this yearly sandbox change in how the game runs, guardians wielded only the light through the three light ability damage types (solar, void, arc), however with the recent introduction of the "Beyond Light" content drop, players were introduced with a new "Darkness" based subclass known as stasis (https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Destiny/BeyondLight/Stasis), thus the statement made that "Players assume the role of a Guardian, protectors of Earth's last safe city as they wield a power called Light" is no longer true, therefore I have suggested the following change be made to the article entry: Changed "Players assume the role of a Guardian, protectors of Earth's last safe city as they wield a power called Light" to "Players assume the role of a Guardian, protectors of Earth's last safe city as they wield various elemental  powers  (Solar, Arc, Void and Stasis)"

This power changes the dynamic of how the game is played, as the Darkness had previously been an antagonizing force in the destiny universe, however it seems that now the players can wield its power for themselves. It is also worth noting that three of the game's well known NPC's (Non-player character), have gone from lightbearers, to now also wielding this power:

Eris Morn: A Hunter and one of the founding members of the First Crota fireteam https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/eris-morn

Exo Stranger (Elizabeth Bray): An enigmatic figure with the ability to phase in and out of reality https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/the-exo-stranger?highlight=exo+stranger

The Drifter: A rogue Lightbearer and the organiser of Gambit https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/the-drifter?highlight=the+drifter

The premise for the beyond light expansion is twofold: to wield this power after answering the beckoning of the darkness from the previous expansion (Shadowkeep), and to stop the fallen kell of darkness, Eramis, from wield it herself; essentially fighting fire with fire. https://twinfinite.net/2020/11/destiny-2-beyond-light-story-summary-ending-explained/

I have also chosen to add an image displaying what this power looks like in game, and put it in the already existing beyond light section, as there are no current images under that section highlighting it. Super charge hunter silence and squall, beyond light-6-4.3, 2020.jpg

A third change that I propose is correcting a statement made in the new light 2020 section, where in it states " after analyzing the superconductor, they can create the exotic submachine gun Riskrunner". This is partially true however the passage fails to include that players also receive the paired exotic catalyst that goes with the sub machinegun, thus, I would simply alter the passage to say "after analyzing the superconductor, they can create the exotic submachine gun Riskrunner and its catalyst". https://www.shacknews.com/article/107747/all-exotic-catalysts-and-masterwork-upgrades-in-destiny-2

I also would suggest adding some important information about the game in the introduction section, in which I would detail the different enemy types that can be found in the game. I propose changing the phrase " activities in Destiny 2 are divided among player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) game types." to " activities in Destiny 2 are divided among player versus environment (PvE) where guardians combat different enemy types, known as the Fallen, the Hive, the Vex, the Cabal, the Taken and the Scorn, and player versus player (PvP) where guardians face off against other guardians." https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/eliksni?highlight=the+fallen https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/books-of-sorrow?highlight=the+taken https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/emperor-calus?highlight=the+cabal https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/oryx#books-of-sorrow https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/riven?highlight=the+scorn https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/vault-of-glass?highlight=atheon

A final change that I would like to make, is alter the section talking about crimson days, in the post release content page, and I would simply add that the "Crimson Days" event has been discontinued starting in 2021. https://www.windowscentral.com/destiny-2s-crimson-days-event-has-been-discontinued
