Did you happen to catch the official Destiny 2 Gameplay Premiere livestream on Thursday, May 18? Fear not, we’ve got a roundup for you here, new characters and all:
The Vanguard
Three high-ranking Guardians; Zavalla, Ikora Rey, and Cayde-6, who represent each of the Guardian classes: Titan, Warlock and Hunter. They act as the leaders of the Guardians, and their duties include directing the action and setting mission objectives. How will they respond to the new danger facing humanity?
Warlock – Ikora Rey:
Ikora’s role in the Vanguard is to study enemy threats, particularly those posed by the forces of darkness, and is typically the first to react to them. In Destiny 2, her leadership will be needed more than ever in humanity’s fight against Lord Ghaul and his Red Legion.
Titan – Commander Zavala:
A veteran Titan who coordinates the defence of the City. In Destiny 2, we will see how he responds, now that humanity’s last safe city has fallen to Lord Ghaul.
Hunter – Cayde-6:
A fan favourite from early trailers, The Ghost once remarked “Cayde is a cunning hunter, with years of experience in staying alive in the wilds. But, um, fighting a war isn’t his strong suit. I’m not sure the ‘shoot them all to death’ strategy is going to be enough.â€
An Attack on the Tower:
The Tower, and the last safe city, is the home of the Guardians and the stronghold for what is left of humanity on Earth. The catastrophic attack on the Tower, as shown in the trailer, sets the tone for the story of Destiny 2. How do heroes react when their home is threatened?
A new enemy?
There isn’t much info about this new enemy at the moment; all we know is that this Cabal force, known as the Red Legion, is a new deadly enemy comprised of a variety of combatants from massive soldiers to rabid dog like creatures. There’s actual gameplay footage in the livestream, though, so be sure to check that out!
Destiny 2 will release on September 8, 2017, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
