Tomorrow is Destiny 2 launch day, at least on consoles (PC gamers will have to wait late October, sadly). That also means it's time for the official Destiny 2 press release and related screenshots blowout.
You can find dozens of new gorgeous images below, showcasing various activities (by the way, we posted more details on PvE and PvP content available at launch here). There's also a fancy live action trailer.
Meanwhile, Bungie and Activision's bosses relayed statements on the highly anticipated release. Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision, said:
A great story. Awesome characters. A menacing villain. A clear mission. A gorgeous, expansive world to explore. And of course, great, innovative gameplay that is fun to play solo or with friends. Destiny 2 has it all. Whether you're one of the millions of fans who are already a part of this community, or you are brand-new to the Destiny world, this game is something all different kinds of fans will enjoy and appreciate. We can't wait to share it with you.
Bungie CEO, Pete Parsons, added:
Destiny is designed to bring players together, and we are humbled to be part of the communities who breathe life into our worlds. For us, it’s all about the stories, memories, and friendships that are made when people come together. Destiny 2 represents the spirit, passion, and energy of an incredible team of world builders here at Bungie, and its launch is the culmination of years of partnership with Activision to bring this game to millions of players all around the world.
In our previous report, we highlighted Project Lead Mark Noseworthy's words indicating that the Destiny 2 launch is really just the beginning of a journey leading into future expansions and games, supposedly all tied up into the narrative. The first expansion is due to launch in Winter 2017, with another scheduled for Spring 2018; both are comprised in the Season Pass.
