Even though the Witch Queen was excellent DLC, it couldn’t compare to the sheer scale of content and changes that came with Forsaken, which is why Forsaken continues to sit at the top. It’s a far-future space opera about the powers of Light and Darkness. Unfortunately, this was the last expansion Bungie would have help from another studio, as they split from Activision shortly after the release. Destiny 2 is a first-person shooter from Bungie, the studio that made the original Halo trilogy and Halo: Reach.

Overall, Forsaken was indeed the make-it-or-break-it DLC for Destiny 2 as a whole, and Bungie nailed it. To this day, the raid released with Forsaken, Last Wish, is still considered the best raid in the Destiny franchise, even as it approaches five years old. Destiny 2 had a rough start when it first released, not being able to capitalize on the success of Destiny 1 immediately, so there was a lot riding on the first major DLC drop, and Forsaken knocked it out of the park.įrom revamping the entire weapons system to how it was in Destiny 1, a dramatic and beautiful campaign with the tragic death of the beloved Cayde-6, and more. It isn’t an understatement to say that the Forsaken expansion saved Destiny 2, as the game was to the point of shutting down before it was released. Last but not least, the Forsaken DLC is easily the best expansion in Destiny’s history.
