In Destiny 2, the first story mission is known. It is called “Homecoming.” Here you can watch it with German subtitles. Spoiler warning.
During the gameplay premiere of Destiny 2 on 18.5, alongside several trailers, live presentations, and ViDocs, the first story mission was presented. It is called “Homecoming” and consists of cinematics, a destruction of the Tower, and plenty of shooting.
Some testers were able to try out this mission and gave a pretty clear conclusion: If all story missions in Destiny 2 are as strongly staged as this, we can look forward to an outstanding campaign.
In the meantime, an official HD version of the first story mission with German subtitles has been released. We embed it here. But be careful: If you haven’t seen the mission yet and don’t want any spoilers, you should now look for another article on Mein-MMO.
What happens in “Homecoming”
It begins with a cinematic, which is also partially visible in the gameplay reveal trailer. At the beginning of this story mission, however, the cinematic is significantly more extensive.
The Vanguard is confronted with an unknown problem. Someone or something has sabotaged the defense systems, every sensor outside the wall is silent, the satellites have disappeared without a trace. Zavala looks out the window and sees danger approaching in the storm: The Cabal, the Red Legion led by Ghaul, is approaching and opens fire immediately.
Quickly, Zavala calls everyone to him and spectacularly protects them with his bubble. After we see an overwhelming force of enemy ships, the action begins. The Guardian is on the Tower plaza. “Orbs” are fired at the Tower, which open up and release enemies. The Guardian must face the invasion.
- The first mission objective is to defend the Tower and repel the attacks while the rescue shuttles are manned. For this, you also need to get to Zavala in his bubble.
- Next, you need to search for the Speaker. He didn’t make it to a rescue shuttle. On the way to the Speaker, by the way, you can see the popular “Sweeper Bot” in the community. The Speaker’s area is destroyed. There you meet Ikora, who deals damage to the Red Legion, attacks a ship with the Nova Bomb, and then jumps onto that ship.
- You now have to go to the North Tower to Amanda Holliday. For this, the gate opens, in front of which Xur sometimes stands and which has always been locked until now. The Red Legion stands in your way. Upon arriving at Amanda, a cinematic begins. She flies you to the command ship, which you now infiltrate. You are supposed to look for the shield generator. In the end, however, you encounter the big boss: Ghaul. Then it is over.
Throughout the entire mission, new Super attacks and new weapons are visible.
