Patch Version: 1.02
Having selected which of the three classes from the original Destiny I wanted to play as, Destiny 2's Beta begins with a cutscene set on earth in the Tower amid a rumbling thunderstorm in the backdrop. Something is not quite right. You can feel it. All your favourite characters are here. Cayde, Ikora and the ‘firefly’ chemistry they always bring to the mix. Oh, and Zavala of course, but before you can blink, all hell breaks loose. It’s an invasion!
This explosive and impactful cutscene then switches to a relatively calm sequence. It is now that we see our character for the first time, along with your ghost. You’ve been out on patrol, and having lost contact with the Tower, make an expedited journey home to discover the horrific reason behind the loss of communication.
It is here where we enter actual gameplay for the first time. Having landed, you’ll be instantly taken aback by the environment around that is ablaze and in ruin. Quickly you are thrown into the affray and forced to battle your way through the burning and destroyed mess that once was a bustling harbour of life. Everything is hauntingly familiar. Passageways you will have travelled down in the original Destiny are destroyed shells of their former selves. What was once a safe place for all, has become a battleground filled with death!
