Destiny 2 Announced, Launching September 8th

Bungie and Activision today announced Destiny 2, the sequel to Destiny, a first-person action game that takes the player on a journey to defend humanity from annihilation. The official Destiny 2 reveal trailer, “Rally the Troops,” debuted a character-driven glimpse at Destiny 2’s story today. Additionally, the first hands-on gameplay reveal livestream will be broadcast on May 18th. The broadcast will showcase a variety of activities within Destiny 2, and will highlight the brand-new adventure waiting for players. With a fresh start for all players right from the opening cinematic, Destiny 2 will release on September 8th. Destiny 2 will be available on PlayStation 4 with additional, timed exclusive content, Xbox One (PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold subscription, respectively, required for significant features), and for the first time in Destiny’s history, Destiny 2 is coming to PC.

In Destiny 2, the last safe city on Earth has fallen and lay in ruins, occupied by a powerful new enemy and his elite army, the Red Legion. Every player creates their own character called a “Guardian,” humanity’s chosen protectors. As a Guardian in Destiny 2, players must master new abilities and weapons to reunite the city’s forces, stand together and fight back to reclaim their home. The official Destiny 2 reveal trailer, “Rally the Troops,” shows two of the Vanguard, leaders of the Guardians, inspiring the people of the last city in an impassioned (and occasionally sarcastic) call to arms. In Destiny 2 players will answer this call, embarking on a fresh story filled with new destinations around our solar system to explore, and an expansive amount of activities to discover. There is something for almost every type of gamer in Destiny 2, including gameplay for solo, cooperative and competitive players set within a vast, evolving universe.

Destiny 2 will be available at a SRP of $59.99 USD. The product line-up will also feature the Destiny 2 – Game + Expansion Pass Bundle at $89.99 USD, the Destiny 2 – Digital Deluxe Edition featuring premium digital contentat $99.99 USD, the Limited Edition at $99.99 USD, and the Collector’s Edition, featuring a fully-wearable Destiny 2 – Frontier Bag, Expansion Pass, premium digital content and a Cabal-themed Collector’s Box for $249.99 USD.
