A couple of weeks ago I was given access to the Destiny 2 Beta. Wow, what a crazy game. I am not one for first person shooter type games and haven’t played them in a while. However, Destiny 2 was pretty dang amazing. The graphics were incredible and the game was a lot of fun. I’m actually going to be receiving a copy of the game for the Xbox One on launch day. I haven’t played it enough to really give a full on in depth review of the game. I played it for a couple of hours before I had to stop. I’m not used to the whole first person shooter thing and got a little dizzy. But, while I did play I had a good time up until I had no clue where to go. I am getting old in the gaming world. Luckily there are already tons of people out there making great videos of the game and they can help you though the hard parts. It is launch day so why don’t you check out this fantastic live-action video. The two-minute live-action spot, “New Legends Will Rise,” depicts Destiny 2’s heroic character, Cayde-6, as he rallies three Guardians into a battle to defend Earth against the invading Red Legion. The spot is directed by Kong: Skull Island Director, Jordan Vogt-Roberts, and set to ‘Sabotage’ by Beastie Boys. Cayde-6 is voice by none other than Nathan Fillion and he plays it to his playful best.

You can pick up the game today. Fans of this genre of gaming will really love it. I’ve never seen so many crazy weapons and cool characters. So choose your Guardian and get into the fight! Here is the Official Trailer of the game and below is an official launch press release with so much great information for you. Take a look.

Developed by Bungie, Destiny 2 is a highly anticipated sequel that 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. In the story of Destiny 2, the last safe city on Earth has fallen and lay in ruins, occupied by a powerful new army. Players must master new abilities and weapons to reunite the city’s forces, stand together and fight back to reclaim their home.

“A great story. Awesome characters. A menacing villain. A clear mission. A gorgeous, expansive world to explore. And of course, great, innovative gameplay that is fun to play solo or with friends. Destiny 2 has it all,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision. “Whether you’re one of the millions of fans who are already a part of this community, or you are brand-new to the Destiny world, this game is something all different kinds of fans will enjoy and appreciate. We can’t wait to share it with you.”
Bungie CEO, Pete Parsons, said, “Destiny is designed to bring players together, and we are humbled to be part of the communities who breathe life into our worlds. For us, it’s all about the stories, memories, and friendships that are made when people come together.” He added, “Destiny 2 represents the spirit, passion, and energy of an incredible team of world builders here at Bungie, and its launch is the culmination of years of partnership with Activision to bring this game to millions of players all around the world.”

In Destiny 2, every player creates their own character called a “Guardian,” humanity’s chosen protectors. Players can choose from playing the cinematic, story campaign, venturing into the expansive destinations to join in cooperative modes including Strike missions. They can also explore and complete Quests, Adventures and Patrols, or uncover Lost Sectors and Treasure Chests, while rallying with other Guardians to dominate Public and Heroic Events, Flash Points, and more. For competitive players, Destiny 2 offers intense 4v4 multiplayer matches in ‘The Crucible’. Additionally, the fan-favorite endgame gameplay experience, the 6-player Raid, will go live for players at 10 a.m. PDT on Sept. 13.
