Destiny 2 Shadowkeep guide, New Light content and release times explained

What is Destiny 2 New Light?
 All content included in Destiny 2's free-to-play offering and Shadowkeep explained Destiny New Light is the free-to-play offering of Destiny 2. In short, everything that Destiny 2 launched with is freely available - as well as a few select offerings from later expansions. First, here's a list of existing content that's free to all players: All Year 1 story content - including base Destiny 2 campaign and The Red War, Curse of Osiris and Warmind missions Access to all Patrol spaces (including Forsaken's Dreaming City and Shadowkeep's Moon) Year 1 Exotics, Nightfall Strikes and Raids, including the Leviathan, Eater of Worlds and Spire of Stars Year 2 Exotics Thunderlord, Arbalest, Outbreak Perfected and Bad Juju Year 2 matchmade activities Gambit, Gambit Prime, Black Armory, The Menagerie and The Reckoning Gambit and Crucible Private matches Additionally, here's the new Year 3 additions you'll also get free access to with New Light: The opening mission of Shadowkeep The new Moon patrol space Shadowkeep's two new Strikes and three new Crucible maps, two returning from the original Destiny (Widow's Court and Twilight Gap) All Crucible updates, maps, new modes and events, such as Iron Banner New Armor 2.0 and Finisher systems Themed seasonal events, such as the Halloween-themed Festival of the Lost and Christmas event The Dawning Access to all the 'free' rewards of a Season Pass - this includes Seasonal Artifact access and rewards from the free tier, such as the seasonal armor set and an Exotic weapon
So with that in mind, what don't you get in New Light? Here's what a Shadowkeep purchase and the Season of the Undying pass - which is free for all purchases of the expansion (later season passes, however, must be purchased) - will get you: All Shadowkeep campaign missions New Raid and Dungeon, launching later in October Exotic quest for Xenophase, launching later in October Nightmare Hunts (teased as co-operative boss encounters, with higher difficulties rolling out as the season goes on) Access to the Vex Offensive activity (Season of the Undying battle pass only) New Exotic quest for Leviathan's Breath, launching later in October (Season of the Undying battle pass only) Premium Season of the Undying season pass rewards (battle pass only) To clarify further, New Light (and owning only Shadowkeep) won't give you access to select Forsaken and some Year 2 Annual Pass content. This includes the campaign, Shattered Throne dungeon, Raids and most Year 2 Exotics, plus the newly added subclasses (though if you buy just Shadowkeep, you do get these subclasses).
