You can continue to play strikes and raids, and continue to explore the four destinations on the map seeing the bits you missed the first time around, fleshing out more details about the characters you met and picking up more rewards and EXP.

You must earn experience points, known as EXP, in order to upgrade.Ĭompleting the campaign mode is not the end of the game by any means. You can play these PvP games across eleven different maps, finding your friends using the new Clan system, or you can play co-operatively in PvE (player vs environment) games, for which you can play in teams of three. Player vs Player (PvP) has objective-based modes, as well as the more traditional Deathwatch games. You can also free-roam at will, picking up public events at each destination as well as other activities over of which show the game’s emphasis on exploration and encouragement of interacting with NPCs (non-playing characters). Choices made you are now ready to play.Īlongside the usual story mission, there are multiple ways to play: strike missions, dungeons and six-player raids amongst them. Once you have chosen your class, you are faced with three more choices between Human (a regular person), an Awoken (they are descendants of the original humans and have bluish-grey skin) or Exominds, sometimes shortened to Exos (which are humanoid machines/ sentient androids).

In customisation, you will first choose your class from Hunter, Warlock or Titan, (see more about their attributes below). The Light and Darkness Saga (TBA) will round things off. The expansion packs for Destiny 2 are: Curse of Osiris 2017 Warmind 2018, Forsaken 2018, Shadowkeep 2019 New Light (which is a remake of D2, including the first two packs as free content) Beyond Light 2020 which introduced the players to the power of Darkness and soon to come along are: The Witch Queen (TBA) Lightfall (TBA) this is a working title, and might change before release.

In the game, you are a Guardian, one of the protectors of the last safe city on Earth, using Light (which is ‘good space magic’, basically) to protect humans from invading aliens and the encroaching Darkness (as might be guessed, ‘bad space magic’!) This battle between Light and Dark plays out over the course of the game, being more deeply explored in the various expansion packs, released after the core game’s debut.

It is the sequel to Destiny and its various expansion packs, detailed below, and is set in a mythical science fiction world, and boasts a large, shared sandbox world which encompasses many elements of role playing games. Destiny 2 is an online only multiplayer first person shooter game that rather defies categorisation.
