Tonight at the Sony E3 2017 Press Conference, Bungie announced a lot of information for the upcoming Destiny 2. This includes a bit more about the game’s story, a pushed up release date of September 6, a PC release date of October 24, and finally the pricing of all the editions. The beta will release on July 18th for people who pre-order and before opening on July 21st. You can check out the story trailer and the PlayStation timed exclusives trailer below.

Destiny 2 is the sequel to the internationally acclaimed Destiny, a first-person action game that takes the player on an epic journey to defend humanity from annihilation.  In the story of Destiny 2, the last safe city on Earth has fallen and lay in ruins, occupied by a powerful new enemy Dominus Ghaul and his elite army, the Red Legion.   Every player creates their own character called a ‘Guardian,’ humanity’s chosen protectors.  As a Guardian in Destiny 2, players must master new abilities and weapons to reunite the city’s forces, stand together and fight back to reclaim their home. The game will offer a fresh start to all players with no previous knowledge or background needed.

Destiny 2 looks so awesome, I’m thrilled to announce that we are moving the release date up to September 6,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision. “We are also hard at work with our friends at Bungie optimizing Destiny 2 for the PC, which we will be releasing in all its glory on October 24.
