Destiny 2 is an online multiplayer first-person shooter developed by Bungie. Released in September 2017, it serves as a sequel to the original Destiny game and has evolved significantly through various expansions and updates. The game is set in a mythic science fiction world where players assume the role of Guardians, protectors of Earth’s last safe city, who wield a power called Light to defend humanity from various alien threats and dark forces.
In Destiny 2, players engage in both player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) activities. PvE content includes story missions, strikes (cooperative missions), raids (high-difficulty, multi-part missions), and public events. PvP content, known as the Crucible, features various competitive game modes.
Key features of Destiny 2 include:
- Classes and Subclasses: Players choose from three main classes—Titan, Hunter, and Warlock—each with unique abilities and subclasses that can be customized for different play styles.
- Expansions and Seasons: The game is continually updated with expansions and seasonal content that introduce new storylines, activities, gear, and more.
- Social Hubs and Clans: Guardians can gather in social spaces like the Tower to interact, pick up quests, and join clans for additional rewards and group activities.
- Loot and Customization: The game emphasizes collecting powerful gear, weapons, and cosmetic items to enhance and personalize your Guardian.
Destiny 2 is free-to-play with optional expansions and in-game purchases, and is available on platforms including PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Stadia, featuring cross-play functionality across these platforms.
