What you need to know

  • Destiny 2: Forsaken launched back in 2018.
  • The expansion brought several new locations to Destiny 2, as well as the Forsaken storyline.
  • Bungie is putting most of Destiny 2: Forsaken into the Vault when The Witch Queen arrives in 2022.

The Vault in Destiny 2 is a concept for content that Bungie is removing from the game, to be stored and come back at a later date. On Thursday, Bungie announced that most of the content from Destiny 2: Forsaken is being Vaulted alongside the launch of Destiny 2: The Witch Queen on Feb 22, 2022.

This means that until they are un-Vaulted, the game's Forsaken storyline and the Tangled Shore location will no longer be accessible, though The Dreaming City will remain in the game. Starting on Dec. 7, the Forsaken campaign will be free for anyone has not yet purchased it and will remain free until it goes into the Vault.
