Today Bungie revealed the first details of its next major expansion for Destiny 2, titled ‘Forsaken’. Revealed in a 9-minute trailer alongside input from the developers, loads of new content part of the game’s upcoming ‘annual pass’ was also announced, along with what to expect from Year 2 of the game, which debuts at the same time as the expansion. Check out the trailer for Destiny 2: Forsaken below:

The Destiny 2: Forsaken expansion takes players to the Tangled Shore, wherein the Guardians are tasked with defeating the prisoners that have escaped the Prison of Elders, where Cayde has been housing previously captured enemies. Accompanying this new task is a new PvPvE game mode known as Gambit. In Gambit, a team of Guardians competes to kill the final boss before the other team, all the while defeating other enemies and collecting currency as they go along. In order to hinder the enemy team, players can block said team from banking their currency, and in certain circumstances can jump to the enemy team’s arena and kill them.

Naturally each class is getting all new supers to aid them in the new expansion, with Titans receiving Flaming Hammers, Hunters getting Flaming Knives, and Warlocks receiving an as-yet unnamed type of teleportation. Guardians can also look forward to the addition of bows, which, of course, shoot laser arrows. Here’s what to expect in the new expansion:

Destiny 2: Forsaken

  • Hunt Down the 8 Barons and their Crew
  • Two New Destinations: The Tangled Shore and The Dreaming City
  • A Brand-New Raid

Here are the names and scheduled release windows for the annual pass:

Destiny 2 – Annual Pass

Before the first release window for the annual pass, Destiny 2 players can look forward to the start of Year 2 of Destiny 2, which begins on September 4, the same day as the release date for Destiny 2: Forsaken.
