Destiny 2 director Luke Smith has revealed that the next expansion for the game won't bring back any vaulted content.

The director revealed as much in a recent interview with PC Gamer, on the eve of the Destiny 2: Beyond Light launch. "Each expansion is going to include a brand-new destination," Smith said. Destiny 2's next expansion is called The Witch Queen, so this would appear to confirm a brand new location for the 2021 DLC.

The Beyond Light expansion has reintroduced the Cosmodrome, a location not seen since the original Destiny. This partially led to speculation that The Witch Queen expansion could follow a similar path, bringing back vaulted content for Destiny 2. Smith's comment have completely dispelled that belief, though.
