Destiny 2
Destiny 2 is an online free-to-play first-person shooter developed by Bungie. Originally launched as a pay-to-play game in 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows, it transitioned to a free-to-play model called "New Light" on October 1, 2019. The game expanded its platforms to include Stadia in November 2019 and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in December 2020. Bungie took over publishing rights from Activision on December 31, 2018, marking a significant shift for the franchise.
Set in a "mythic science fiction" world, Destiny 2 offers a multiplayer shared-world environment with RPG elements. Players can engage in both PvE (player versus environment) and PvP (player versus player) game types. PvE content includes story missions, three-player "strikes," six-player raids, and free-roam patrol mode with public events and interactions with NPCs. PvP features objective-based and deathmatch game modes.
In the game, players take on the role of Guardians, defenders of Earth's last safe city, wielding the power of Light to protect humanity from various alien races and the looming Darkness threat. Destiny 2 releases expansions that continue the story and introduce new content.
Year One included two small expansions, Curse of Osiris and Warmind, while Year Two started with a significant expansion called Forsaken. Subsequent releases like Shadowkeep (October 2019) and Beyond Light (Year Four) brought major changes to the game, with the latter introducing the power of Darkness.
Year Four marked a major overhaul as significant portions of the game's content from the first three years were placed in the Destiny Content Vault. New expansions like The Witch Queen and Lightfall were planned to follow Beyond Light, concluding the "Light and Darkness Saga."
Upon its release, Destiny 2 received generally favorable reviews, with praise for its improved story, gameplay, visuals, exploration, multiplayer features, and public events. However, opinions were divided on certain aspects like weapon recategorization, the Leviathan raid, and new game modes. The game garnered various award nominations and wins, including recognition at The Game Awards 2017 and Game Critics Awards.
