InDestiny 2: Shadowkeep, developer Bungie issending players back to the Moon, albeit with some significant changes. A dark energy has awoken something powerful within the Moon, including a few enemies that the Guardians previously vanquished.
Considering that the Moon is supposed to be a “new” location forDestiny 2, many players wondered how it would compare to the version seen in Destiny 1. And thanks to a closer look during the Inside Xbox stream during Gamescom, players now can see the fullDestiny 2: Shadowkeepmoon map (thanks to some stitching from Reddit).

Much of the Moon fromD1seems to be well represented inDestiny 2: Shadowkeep. The Hellmouth, Archer’s Line, and Anchor of Light areas are all returning, along with a new area called Sorrow’s Harbor. Size-size it’s hard to tell how large the Moon will be in Shadowkeep, but it appears to be on par with the likes of theTangled Shore fromD2: Forsaken.
There is also a vendor on the Moon, but who that might be is unclear. Our best guess would be that Eris Morn has set up shop to assist the Guardians but she could have a larger role to play in the narrative and therefore unable to stand by and offer bounties andnew Shadowkeep gear.
TheDestiny 2Moon Map also features an icon for the new Strike, which is called the Scarlet Keep. And of course, there is the mysterious icon on the map that is tied to the new Nightmare Hunt activity. We still don’t know much about the activity but it seems to beDestiny 2: Shadowkeep’s version of Reckoning or Menagerie.
Whether or not the Moon map will full as substantial as the otherDestiny 2locations is up for debate. In recent trailers, it does appear that Bungie is trying to combine familiar locales with a new style, but it will also be nice to return to places that players know.
Destiny 2: Shadowkeepreleases July 24, 2025 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
