Bungie announced the Destiny 2 Year 2 reveal stream last week, surprising everyone with a pre-E3 reveal. At that time, details were scarce, but yesterday the studio posted a short teaser revealing the title of the September expansion as well as confirming the theme and setting. Destiny 2: Forsaken will feature the Reef, a location that was sparsely explored in Destiny 1. It will also center on the wisecracking Exo Cayde-6, played by Nathan Fillion, following expansions that focused on the other two members of the Vanguard.
At the end of the stream, they will offer another updated roadmap to show where Destiny 2 is headed, and give players a good idea of the new content timetable.
Destiny 2 will also receive another major change today, and this one’s playable. Faction Rallies will be back in the game at the weekly reset. The system of pledging to a faction and earning reputation has been overhauled to make your selection much more meaningful. You can now only pledge to a single faction per account per week-long event, and each faction has exclusive rewards. No more running all three characters through the full trio of factions. Depending on how long the Destiny 2: Forsaken reveal stream goes, Faction Rallies should be beginning just as it ends.
Feel free to watch the Destiny 2 Year 2 reveal live stream with us above and comment below with your thoughts on where Bungie is going with the future of the game. Will Destiny 2: Forsaken return make Destiny 2 the game you want it to be? We’re just about to find out.
