''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.

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>

===New Cinematic Campaign===

Destiny 2 will feature an all-new cinematic campaign with a host of new [[Story]] missions and cutscenes that will 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.

===New Cooperative Missions===

There will be brand new [[Strike]]s in Destiny 2, which will require up to 3 players to fully complete. One such strike is [[The Inverted Spire]], first revealed in the worldwide gameplay premier, which sends Guardians on an attack against a [[Vex]] stronghold on [[Nessus]] and will culminate in a 3-stage boss encounter.

===New Competitive Multiplayer===

The [[Crucible]] will function differently in Destiny 2. All game modes will feature two teams of four for every game mode. In-game, there will be a new HUD that gives the player information on the enemy team, like when their [[Super]] is ready, or when they picked up ammo for their power weapons. There will also be 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 has also been modified, with the detection radius being fixed, as opposed to it scanning until it find an enemy.

===Subclasses===

All classes in Destiny 2 will each get another exclusive subclass. [[Warlock]]s get access to the [[Dawnblade]], which allows them to wield a sword of fire which enables them to send of waves of flames at enemies. [[Titan]]s get access to the [[Sentinel]], which allows them to wield a shield that they can use to block damage and as either a blunt melee weapon or ranged throwing weapon. [[Hunter]]s get access to the [[Arcstrider]], which allows them to wield a spear of electricity that they can use to quickly slash everything on their path.
