'''''Destiny 2''''' is an open-world multiplayer first-person shooter title video game developed by [[Bungie]]. It is the sequel to the shared-worlds FPS ''[[Destiny]]'', and was released on September 6, 2017 on the [[Xbox One]] and [[PlayStation 4]] platforms. It was released on October 24, 2017 for PC, initially through Blizzard Entertainment's [[Battle.net]] service.<ref name="TWAB">[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=44353 '''Bungie.net''' - ''This Week At Bungie – 02/11/2016'']</ref><ref name="Kotaku"/> Due to Bungie splitting from Activision on January 10, 2019 and is now self-publishing the game, Destiny 2 has been available on [[Steam]] since October 1, 2019 and has since been removed from the Battle.net service. As part of Bungie's plans to expand Destiny 2 to new platforms after their acquisition by Sony on July 15, 2022, Destiny 2 was added to the [[Epic Games Store]] on August 23, 2022. It was released on November 19, 2019 for the [[Google Stadia]] cloud gaming service, but was discontinued on January 18, 2023 following the shutdown of the Google Stadia servers.

The game's story focuses on the [[Light]], what happens when it gets taken from the [[Guardian]]s, the lengths they'll go to to get it back, and Ghaul's coveting of it. The [[Darkness]] is not explained until [[Shadowkeep]].<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/games/destiny_2/b/playstation4/archive/2017/06/11/destiny-2s-lead-creators-discuss-story-direction.aspx '''Game Informer''' - ''Lead Creators Discuss Story Direction''</ref>

On [[Mercury]], the [[Ghost]] of a legendary [[Warlock]] is found on the planet's sands. She, and the Guardian are the only hope to prevent the [[Vex]] from taking over everything.
[[The Traveler]]'s awakening of its long sleep was a sign of good things to come, and of dark threats. On Mars, an ancient Golden Age's weapon [[Rasputin]] awakens, and below the Red planet surface, an ancient evil resurfaces.
On the [[Prison of Elders]], a group of dangerous criminals, led by [[Uldren Sov]], escape the prison, striking down the [[Vanguard]] of [[Hunters]], [[Cayde-6]]. On the [[Tangled Shore]], a pursuit of revenge is taking in motion.
On the [[Moon]], an ancient evil awakens after centuries of slumber. It brings the omen of the end of everything.
On the iced lands of [[Europa]] a Fallen House is growing in power, leaded by a dreaded Baroness. They wield the power of the [[Darkness]], to carry over their plans.
On the reappared [[Mars]], the [[Witch Queen]] has settled her [[Throne World]]. The Guardian must explore this realm of madness to uncover its secrets... and discover horrible truths.
[[The Witness]], sworn enemy of the Guardians, and of everything, has finally arrived. Its newest [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]], the [[Emperor Calus]] leads an invasion to a previously hidden city on Neptune, to find a long forgotten artifact, [[the Veil]]. The Guardian must reach this artifact before Calus, or everything will be doomed.
Decades, centuries, millennia and eons, all of it was for this moment. The Witness has transformed the Traveler, and gone somewhere beyond reach. Thanks to the Ahamkara's wish, now, the path is open, and now, is to you, the [[Guardian]], to finish what you started that day, when you for first resurrected. From your resting place, on [[Old Russia]], on the ruins of civilization on the [[Cosmodrome]], to the Moon deepest and darkest regions, to the furthest corners of this long-abandoned [[Sol System]], and to realms beyond all believe. Facing all sorts of enemies and foes; from mere ambitious pirates, to time-altering war machines, and to even eldritch, nightmarish horrors in the Hive. Now, is time to face off the one being to caused all this, and show the galaxy, and all of the universe what you, and the Guardians, are really made off. It is time, to become legend.
''The Final Shape'' was initially expected to release in February 2024, but due to quality concerns for the project in general in October 2023, the release was pushed to June 2024.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/destiny-2-the-final-shape-officially-delayed-to-june-2024 Destiny 2: The Final Shape Officially Delayed to June 2024]</ref> To cover the delay period, Bungie released a free update called ''Into the Light'' in April 2024, adding new activities and weapons to prepare for ''The Final Shape''. ''The Final Shape'' sees events taking place in the Pale Heart, a space within the Traveler opened by the Witness, and includes the return of Cayde-6 (with [[Nathan Fillion]] reprising this role). This expansion has been stated by Bungie to be the culmination of the ten years of Destiny's first saga, the "Light and Darkness Saga".<ref>[https://skycoach.gg/blog/destiny/articles/destiny-2-best-class-tier-list Destiny 2: The Final Shape]</ref>
Following ''The Final Shape'', Bungie plans to change their release model from a large expansion with smaller seasons, to two moderate sized expansions per year, starting mid 2025 with "Codename Apollo", followed by "Codename Behemoth" in early 2026.<ref>https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/bungie-announces-new-destiny-2-release-model-with-two-medium-expansions-a-year/</ref>

Destiny 2 featured an all-new cinematic campaign with a host of new [[Story]] missions and cutscenes that form a story unlike that seen in its predecessor. The first mission, [[Homecoming]], sends Guardians on a journey to take back [[The Last City]] and the [[Traveler]] from the [[Red Legion]], led by [[Dominus Ghaul]], who has a brief cameo in the first mission, explaining his intentions.

A PC version of the beta was open from August 28 to August 31.<ref name = "WhatWeKnow"/>
''Destiny 2'' marked the beginning of the end of [[Bungie]]'s relationship with [[Activision]]. Relationships between studio and publisher were hampered by ''Destiny 2'' selling below Activision's revenue expectations. Along the way, Bungie realized that ''Destiny'' was better served as a live-service game with expansions and seasons, rather than Activision's plan of annual releases alternating between installments and expansions. Rather than stick to their original contract with Activision and develop ''Destiny 3'', Bungie negotiated with Activision to end their relationship. The companies parted ways in 2019.<ref>''Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment'', pg. 284</ref>
''Destiny 2'''s eighth expansion, ''[[The Final Shape]]'', was released in June, 2024. After this, development of ''Destiny 2'' was downscaled. While ''Destiny 2'' will continue to receive content, it will no longer receive seasons or episodes, and instead receive two smaller expansions per year.<ref name = "SonyCarve">[https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2024/10/22/sony-carves-out-a-bungie-team-for-a-live-service-overseer-role-at-playstation/ '''Forbes''' - ''Sony Carves Out A Bungie Team For A Live Service Overseer Role At PlayStation'']</ref>
As of September 2024, the majority of Bungie's staff remained focused on ''Destiny 2'', with a comparatively smaller team working on ''[https://marathongame.fandom.com/wiki/Marathon_(2025) Marathon]''.<ref>[https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2024/09/18/new-marathon-details-on-heroes-price-and-radio-silence/ '''Forbes''' - ''New ‘Marathon’ Details On Heroes, Price And Radio Silence'']</ref>
