Destiny 2: Beyond Light (2020)
Destiny 2: Beyond Light is a 2020 shooter video game made by Bungie and Activision.
A pyramid ship has settled above Europa, and something called the Darkness is offering its power to those willing to take it. Eramis, a Fallen leader who calls herself the Kell of Darkness, has built an empire of her people on Jupiter's moon by accepting that offer. Destiny 2: Beyond Light tasks Guardians with dismantling her empire, a mission complicated by the fact that stopping her may require wielding the same corrupting power she used to rise. The expansion introduced Stasis, a darkness-based elemental ability, and a new patrol zone across Europa's frozen landscape.

A few thoughts on Destiny 2: Beyond Light
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 shares Destiny's tone of found-family warriors confronting a power that promises something real but costs too much. The mix of spectacle, humor, and genuine emotional weight is close.
Power that only works if you're willing to be corrupted by it
Beyond Light dares Guardians to wield Stasis, the dark power Eramis used to build her empire on Europa. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 offers Peter Quill that same tempting power from a godlike figure, Repo! The Genetic Opera turns a miracle cure into a trap with a lethal price, Deltron 3030 imagines a future ruled by whoever grabs the strongest tech, and Half-Life 2 turns alien weapons on invaders.
Rogue AI or machine minds running places humans can't reach
Beyond Light sends Guardians into Europa's ice caves chasing power that predates them, a place where old machine logic still rules. Portal and Portal 2 build whole games around an artificial overseer that outlasts everyone who built it, Ghost in the Shell keeps asking what a self-directed mind actually wants, and Universal Migrator, Part 2 follows a machine intelligence sweeping the universe on its own terms.
