In the cinematic campaign, you\u2019ll enter a world filled with compelling characters and fight to take back our home. Battle alongside friends with multiple cooperative modes or challenge others in intense multiplayer matches.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For all it&#8217;s story flaws the original Destiny (which released nearly 3 years ago now) remains\u00a0one of the best titles of this generation.\u00a0A lot of that comes down to Bungie&#8217;s development of a shooting mechanic that is incredibly so spot-on it will remain a benchmark for years to come. Its also the only title in \u00a0recent years that has actively drawn in real-life &#8220;brick &amp; mortar&#8221; friends to play online to the point of scheduling play dates for attempting raids.<\/p>\n<p>Destiny 2 looks to do all that &#8211; and bring an actual story from day one. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kotaku.com.au\/2017\/05\/bungies-destiny-2-reveal-the-liveblog\/\">Alex Walker at Kotaku AU<\/a> had the wonderful task of getting up at 2am this morning to watch Bungie&#8217;s reveal and has done a great job of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kotaku.com.au\/2017\/05\/bungies-destiny-2-reveal-the-liveblog\/\">live-blogging all the details<\/a> that I urge you to read.<\/p>\n<p>The most interesting point, with Destiny 2 bringing the franchise to the PC for the first time, is it being done with fellow Activision published Blizzard&#8217;s Battle.net.\u00a0A first\u00a0for Blizzard too, allowing a non-Blizzard developed title to use their client.\u00a0Could this be the introduction of yet another player in the PC game client space? Look out Steam!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Destiny 2  - Official Gameplay Reveal Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jn1dML6RC5w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"source-link\"><span class=\"source-link\">Source: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.destinythegame.com\/au\/en\/home\">Destiny the Game | Home<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Destiny 2 is an action shooter that takes you on an epic journey across the solar system.
