Destiny 2 takes players on an epic journey across the universe to defend humanity from annihilation. The game welcomes new players to the universe, as well as those who have been devoted to the universe since the beginning, with an array of modes and activities to explore.

Players must master new abilities and weapons to reunite the city’s forces, stand together and fight back to reclaim their home.
