Destiny 2 is a first-person action game that takes the player on an epic journey to defend humanity from annihilation.

Humanity’s last safe city has fallen to an overwhelming invasion force, led by Ghaul, the imposing commander of the brutal Red Legion. He has stripped the city’s Guardians of their power, and forced the survivors to flee. You will venture to mysterious, unexplored worlds of our solar system to discover an arsenal of weapons and devastating new combat abilities. To defeat the Red Legion and confront Ghaul, you must reunite humanity’s scattered heroes, stand together, and fight back to reclaim our home.

In Destiny 2, the last safe city on Earth has fallen and lay in ruins, occupied by a powerful new enemy 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.


Destiny 2 developers previewed upcoming content for Act I of Destiny 2: Heresy, launching on February 4, 2025.

During the stream, the narrative team debriefed on the return to the Dreadnaught, the iconic Hive ship from the original Destiny, alongside the resurgence of familiar friends and enemies and the discovery of a new Echo. Developers also showcased a new activity, The Nether, new weapons and gear, new subclass aspects, and the upcoming Sundered Doctrine Dungeon Race, launching on February 7.

In an exciting on-stream reveal, Bungie has announced in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, that they will introduce Star Wars-inspired items to Destiny 2. Among them, players can look forward to armor ornaments inspired by troopers and royal guards of the Galactic Empire. These new sets and accessories will bring themed elements of the Star Wars universe to life within Sol when Destiny 2: Heresy launches on February 4.

Game2Give 2025 has officially launched, bringing together the Bungie Foundation community and 200 top creators to make a significant impact.
