Transcript:

Destiny 2's beta begins with the mission "Homecoming," in which the player has to battle through a Tower under siege. Beside a locked door that would otherwise lead to the lounge, players may linger by the door and hear a warped version of Paul McCartney’s, "Hope for the Future," which was dubbed the unofficial theme song of Destiny.

Bungie has admitted that they have no clue what the Darkness was, despite all the bad guys being “minions of the Darkness.” The sequel still won’t define the Darkness -- in fact, they’ve entirely removed the term “Darkness” from the game. But Bungie promises that they have a plan -- and a definition -- for the Darkness so, hey, maybe we’ll find out in Destiny 3?

Comedians David Cross and Brian Posehn were asked by Bungie to punch up Ghost’s dialogue for the original Destiny. The two were flown to the studio and there they wrote a series of one-liners to bring some levity to the character, but none of the dialogue was used for the game.

Gone with the Tower is our beloved Purple Ball. You’ll find it’s deflated remains on the steps of the Tower Plaza. But fret not, the new social space, dubbed “The Farm,” will feature a soccer --ahem football pitch with fully functional goals while you wait for your buddies to finish up their business with the Postmaster.

The original plan for the Destiny franchise was to support it with DLC throughout its 10-year run, but after a lot of trial and error with the first game, Bungie went for the hard reset and even built that into the sequel’s narrative -- thanks Gary! This time around, though, Bungie is teaming up with Vicarious Visions and High Moon Studios to pump out DLC faster than you can go into orbit.
