''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.''<ref>[https://www.destinythegame.com/ '''DestinytheGame.com''' - ''The World of Destiny 2'']</ref><ref name="Last Call"/><ref name="Rally the Troops"/>

The game's story focuses on the [[Light]], what happens when it gets taken from the [[Guardian]]s, the lengths they'll go to to get it back, and Ghaul's coveting of it. The [[Darkness]] is not explained until [[Shadowkeep]].<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/games/destiny_2/b/playstation4/archive/2017/06/11/destiny-2s-lead-creators-discuss-story-direction.aspx '''Game Informer''' - ''Lead Creators Discuss Story Direction''</ref>

On [[Mercury]], the [[Ghost]] of an legendary [[Warlock]] is found on the planet's sands. She, and the Guardian are the only hope to prevent the [[Vex]] from taking over everything.
The Traveler's awakening of its long sleep was a sing of good things to come, and of dark threats. On Mars, an ancient Golden Age's weapon [[Rasputin]]  awakens, and below the Red planet surface, an ancient evil resurface.
On the [[Prison of Elders]], a group of dangerous criminals, led by [[Uldren Sov]], escape of the prison, striking down the [[Vanguard]] of [[Hunters]], [[Cayde 6]]. On the [[Tangled Shore]], a pursuit of revenge, is taking in motion.
On the [[Moon]], an ancient evil awakens after centuries of slumber. It brings the omen of the end of everything.
On the iced lands of [[Europa]] a Fallen House is growing in power, leaded by a dreaded Baroness. They wield the power of the [[Darkness]], to carry over their plans.
On the reappared [[Mars]], the [[Witch Queen]] has settled her [[Throne World]]. The Guardian must explore this realm of madness to uncover its secrets... and discover horrible truths.
[[The Witness]], sworn enemy of the Guardians, and of everything, has finally arrived. Its newest [[Disciple]], the [[Emperor Calus]] leads an invasion to a previously hidden city on Neptune, to find a long forgotten artifact, [[the Veil]]. The Guardian must reach this artifact before Calus, or everything will be doomed.
Decades, centuries, millennia and eons, all of it was for this moment. [[The Witness]] has transformed the [[Traveler]], and gone somewhere beyond reach. Thanks to the Ahamkara's wish, now, the path is open, and now, is to you, the [[Guardian]], to finish what you started that day, when you for first resurrected. From your resting place, on [[Old Russia]], on the ruins of civilization on the [[Cosmodrome]], to the Moon deepest and darkest regions, to the furthest corners of this long-abandoned [[Solar System]], and to realms beyond all believe. Facing all sorts of enemies and foes; from mere ambitious pirates, to time-altering war machines, and to even eldritch, nightmarish horrors in the Hive. Now, is time to face off the one being to caused all this, and show the galaxy, and all of the universe what you, and the Guardians, are really made off. It is time, to become legend.

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 competitive multiplayer===
The [[Crucible]] functions differently in Destiny 2. All game modes feature two teams of four for every game mode. In-game, there is a new HUD that gives the player information on the enemy team, like when their [[Super]] is ready, or when and where they picked up ammo for their power weapons. There are also brand new maps and game modes. One of the new game modes, for example, is called [[Countdown]], which is the first attack-defend game mode in the Crucible, similar to Call of Duty's Search and Destroy. The radar is also modified, with the detection radius being fixed, as opposed to it scanning until it finds an enemy. Modes/Playlists:

Some special weapons in ''Destiny'', like [[fusion rifle]]s and [[sniper rifle]]s were moved into the power category. Weapons in this category were elementally charged and included weapons like [[rocket launcher]]s and [[grenade launcher]]s.
