==Synopsis==
Dominus Ghaul, believing that the Cabal Red Legion deserves The Traveler's power, attacks the City, stripping the Guardians of their powers and forcing them to flee.
A Guardian is tasked with finding and reuniting the three members of the Vanguard: Zavala, who fled to Titan; Ikora Rey, who fled to Io; and Cayde-6, who fled to Nessus. Along the way, the Guardian must reclaim their lost power in order to take back the City.
==Major Gameplay Changes==
*Weapon slots are Kinetic, Energy, and Power. Kinetic and Energy hold the same weapon types; the difference is that Energy weapons have damage types. Fusion Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Rocket Launchers, and Shotguns fit into the Power weapon slot.
*The melee and miscellaneous subclass perks are located in sets of four, which cannot be mixed and matched. Players must choose between one set of four perks or another. Grenades, jump modifier, and class ability modifier can be changed regardless of the perk set chosen.
*Matchmaking is enabled for end-game content using the Guided Games feature, which matches solo players who are looking for a group with Clans who are hosting a group.
*Players can start a new activity or go to a new location right where they are without going to orbit first.
*Some NPCs and vendors can now be found outside of social spaces such as the Tower.

==Trivia==
*Only class, race, gender, face, hair, and marking selections for all characters that have achieved Level 20 and completed the story mission The Black Garden will carry forward from Destiny to Destiny 2. Accounts were migrated on August 1, 2017. Any progress made in Destiny after that date will not reflect in Destiny 2.
*Destiny 2 was originally announced for release on Friday, September 8, 2017. The release was moved up two days to Wednesday, September 6, because the team wanted to give themselves more time to prepare for launch weekend, which historically has the most concurrent players.
*In previous games, Bungie's design philosophy for multiplayer included designing maps and gametypes independently of each other. For Destiny 2, Bungie decided to create a gametype and then specifically design maps for that gametype.
*To help avoid the content droughts that plagued Destiny, Activision hired additional developers, including Vicarious Visions and High Moon Studios, to work on producing more Destiny 2 content.
*A collaboration between Destiny 2 and The Witcher franchises was announced on November 21, 2023. The release of Destiny 2's Season of the Witch introduced Geralt of Rivia armor sets, a themed Ghost shell, ship, Sparrow, emote, and finisher to the MMO shooter. Destiny 2 Collaboration - and The Witcher franchises was announced on November 21, 2023
==Sales==
Destiny 2 sold 50,263 copies on PlayStation 4 within its first week on sale in Japan, which placed it at number one on the weekly sales charts. The weekend consisting of September 23, Destiny 2 took the number 1 spot on the UK sales chart. Destiny 2 was also the second highest-grossing console game of 2017 in North America (behind Call of Duty: WWII), and was also Activision's biggest PC release based on units sold. Digital downloads for Destiny 2 account for more than half of the total sales of the game.
