More Worthwhile Details on Bungie’s Destiny 2
A few days have passed since Bungie officially confirmed the development of Destiny 2, an announcement long-time coming. Our latest news confirms the recently leaked release date and more. Destiny 2 arrives for PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on September 8th. Moreover, Bungie has revealed their Expansion Pass and pre-order bonuses.
Information-gathering was a bit sketchy at first, but after checking in with the PlayStation Store here’s what we learned: Anyone who pre-orders Destiny 2 receives exclusive beta early access; standard edition is available at standard pricing – $59.99. The store also revealed how the game is priced with the Expansion Pass. $89.99 will grant players the base game and all paid DLC that follows. Keep in mind, these are DLC within the foreseeable future and may not include DLC within a broader time scale. For example, The Taken King did not arrive with the original Destiny’s Season Pass.
More details from the PlayStation Store come as follows:
The Destiny 2 Expansion Pass grants access to both Expansion I and Expansion II, offering brand new story missions, cooperative activities, competitive multiplayer, and a wealth of new weapons, armor, and gear.
Digital Deluxe Edtion, which costs $99.99, includes all of the above plus the following in-game bonuses:
- Legendary Sword
- Legendary Player Emote
- Cabal Empire Themed Emblem
And thanks to GameRant, we know the content of the Collector’s Edition priced at $250:
From what we gather, Destiny 2 will continue the trend of multiplayer segregation; take that as you will. Despite all the details, we don’t yet have a grasp on the base game’s content. We still await in-game footage and more news about how this next installment shall improve upon the first. In the meantime, you can watch the new trailer introducing players to the game’s plot. Witness the worldwide reveal in Bungie’s new “Rally the Troops Trailer”:
