In just over two week’s time players globally can play the Destiny 2 console open beta on July 21st through July 23rd. The Destiny 2 beta will feature a variety of activities including the opening story mission, Homecoming, and cooperative and competitive modes.
Destiny 2 is the sequel to the internationally acclaimed, and a game I’ve yet to remove from the shrink-wrap, 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.
Pre-order early access to the beta on PlayStation 4 begins July 18th whilst for Xbox One players, early access begins July 19th.
