King’s Fall, the original Destiny’s best raid, is coming to Destiny 2

In 2022 Destiny 2 Showcase, Bungie revealed next year’s expansion, LightfallAs well as Destiny 2 – Season of PlunderTuesday’s launch of, was the first. One of the biggest announcements, however, was the reveal of Bungie’s second raid reprisal in Destiny 2. King’s Fall, the original Destiny’s biggest and best raid, is officially coming to Destiny 2April 26, 2008.

King’s Fall was first introduced during The Taken KingThe original was expanded Destiny — fondly remembered as the “Golden Age” of Destiny by dedicated fans. In the raid, Guardians dive into the Dreadnaught, Oryx’s flagship, and battle the Taken King himself. In the raid, players faced a wide variety of Hive or Taken foes.

In 2021, Bungie brought Vault of the Glass — the first ever Destiny raid — toDestiny 2To make it more contemporary, Bungie made many changes. It’s unclear what all Bungie will change with King’s Fall. Guardians looking to compete in the World’s First race on Friday will be under the same parameters as Vault of Glass’ race, and will need to: beat King’s Fall while under level via “Contest Mode” before beating King’s Fall a second time (still under Contest) while also completing secret, encounter-specific challenges.

Guardians were tested for endurance, even though Vault Of Glass was known by fans. With King’s Fall being a significantly longer raid, World’s First raiders have a real challenge ahead of them on Aug. 26.

All raiders, World’s First or otherwise, will of course get to enjoy some of Destiny’s best ever raid weapons and armor by felling Oryx again. Smite of Merain, the pulse rifle from King’s Fall, is a particular fan favorite that will almost certainly return.
