What to expect in Destiny 2
What is Destiny 2? Destiny 2 is an adventure shooter developed by Bungie (the creators of Halo). You play as a powerful hero known as a “Guardian,” tasked with protecting the world and our solar system from various threats. To aid you, a “Ghost” saves you from death and provides vital information.
In Destiny 2, you choose from three classes and play through the story, complete raids and strikes, or battle other Guardians in PvP. Along the way, you equip yourself with different specializations and powerful exotic items.
The base game of Destiny 2 is free-to-play and is primarily designed to introduce new players to the Destiny universe. Various editions and paid annual expansions—such as The Witch Queen or Lightfall—are intended to provide long-term entertainment for Guardians interested in deep lore and top-tier gunplay. Since May 2026, it is clear: After the recent update Monument of Triumph, there will be no further content patches.
What content does Destiny 2 offer? Destiny 2 offers a variety of content that can be experienced both in groups and solo. As a Guardian, you can choose from three classes – Hunter, Warlock, and Titan – and a wide range of abilities.
The highlights of Destiny 2 include:
- An incredibly exciting and vast universe
- Unique and finely-tuned gunplay
- Group content such as Strikes, Exotic missions, Dungeons, and Raids
- Free seasonal events and a regularly updated storyline
- Character progression, including the perfection of gear (min-maxing)
- Various PvP activities, including a pure gunplay mode and PvEvP combinations
In the future, Destiny 2 will be supplemented with smaller expansions to bring new content into the game. All activities within these expansions are intended to be free, while Seasons—which primarily offer cosmetic content—will remain paid.
In June 2026, the last update Monument of Triumph was released. You can find everything about it here:
How much does Destiny 2 cost? You can currently secure the Destiny 2 Collection on Steam for 24.99 euros. The individual expansions are also being offered at significant discounts right now.
Our conclusion on Destiny 2 in 2026: As bitter as it sounds regarding the end of content support from Bungie: Destiny 2 remains one of the best online shooters to play in 2026.
- Many fans have always praised the game for its responsiveness and the precision of the weapon mechanics.
- The story, with its dark and exciting atmosphere, is still a grand narrative worth discovering.
- Being a Guardian in Destiny 2 is something that can be incredibly captivating. If you are looking for a game with strong character attachment and a richly detailed world, you are in the right place.
- Furthermore, Destiny 2 offers a very smooth cooperative experience. You can join each other in all activities anytime, and everyone receives their progress and loot.
- On the other hand, those who prefer to play solo can use the integrated fireteam finder since 2023, which is open to everyone with countless cooperative elements, making raids possible for all.
Of course, there are also construction sites and weak expansions. The shooter, however, offers excellent gunplay overall, is fun, and has a huge, wonderful, explorable world with many great stories and characters worth getting to know: 5 secret facts about Destiny 1 & 2 that you probably didn’t know
