The game's story will focus on the [[Light]], what happens when it gets taken from the Guardians, the lengths they'll go to to get it back, and Ghaul's coveting of it.

Character aesthetics such as face, sex, markings, etc. will be preserved and carried over for old players from ''Destiny 1'', as long as those characters have both reached Level 20 and have completed [[The Black Garden]] [[Story]] mission. Everything aside from aethstetics will not transfer over to Destiny 2 to make the game feel like a fresh start and not a direct continuation of the original game. "''Veteran accounts''" will be given "''honors that reflect their Destiny 1 accomplishments''", although the specifics as to what those rewards will be are still to be released and confirmed. The [[Grimoire]] will not feature. The lore is said to be in the game itself for ''Destiny 2''. This includes a scanning feature that will largely replace the old system.<ref>[https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2017/05/21/bungie-is-ditching-grimoire-cards-in-destiny-2/#638ad0a3d520 '''Forbes''' - ''Bungie Is Ditching Grimoire Cards In Destiny 2'']</ref>

Destiny 2 is an open-world massive multiplayer first-person shooter title video game developed by Bungie. It is the sequel to the shared-worlds FPS Destiny, and was released on September 6, 2017 on the Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 platforms. It will be released on October 24, 2017 for PC.[6][2] The PC version will require the Blizzard App to launch, and will feature cross-platform functionality with other Blizzard titles. This includes using "Blizzard Balance" to purchase features of the game, and cross-platform chat functionality.[7]

Plot

Humanity’s last safe city has fallen to an overwhelming invasion force, led by Ghaul, the imposing commander of the brutal Red Legion. He has stripped the city’s Guardians of their power, and forced the survivors to flee. You will venture to mysterious, unexplored worlds of our solar system to discover an arsenal of weapons and devastating new combat abilities. To defeat the Red Legion and confront Ghaul, you must reunite humanity’s scattered heroes, stand together, and fight back to reclaim our home.[8][9][10]

The game's story focuses on the Light, what happens when it gets taken from the Guardians, the lengths they'll go to to get it back, and Ghaul's coveting of it. The Darkness is not explained within the story.[11]

Features

Destiny 2 includes 4 new Patrol zones, Nessus, Io, Titan, and the European Dead Zone, the largest open world ever made by Bungie, filled to the brim with new enemies, weapons, armor, and activities such as public events, dungeons known as "Lost Sectors", mini-quests called adventures, and much more to do and explore.

The game features downloadable content, but the DLC will be released after the base game.[12] The two expansion packs will be centered around the cult of the exiled Warlock Osiris, as well as the ancient Warmind Rasputin for expansions 1 and 2, respectively. Players that have preordered Destiny 2 with the expansion packs will automatically receive access to the expansions upon release for the general public to purchase.

Character aesthetics such as face, sex, markings, etc. can be preserved and carried over for old players from Destiny 1, as long as those characters have both reached Level 20 and have completed The Black Garden Story mission. Everything aside from aethstetics do not transfer over to Destiny 2, in order to make the game feel like a fresh start and not a direct continuation of the original game. "Veteran accounts" are given "honors that reflect their Destiny 1 accomplishments". The Grimoire does not feature. The lore is implemented directly throughout Destiny 2. This includes a scanning feature that largely replaces the old system.[13]

New Cinematic Campaign

Destiny 2 features an all-new cinematic campaign with a host of new Story missions and cutscenes that form a story unlike that seen in its predecessor. The first mission, Homecoming, sends Guardians on a journey to take back The Last City and the Traveler from the Red Legion, led by Dominus Ghaul, who has a brief cameo in the first mission, explaining his intentions.

New Cooperative Missions

There are brand new Strikes in Destiny 2, which require up to 3 players to fully complete. One such strike is The Inverted Spire, which sends Guardians on an attack against a Vex stronghold on Nessus that is under siege by the Red Legion and culminates in a 3-stage boss encounter.

New Travel Destinations

Destiny 2 features four new destinations: European Dead Zone, Titan, Io, and Nessus. Each feature their own detailed environments. The new European Dead Zone is Bungie's largest ever open-world environment.
