Destiny 2 is a multiplayer first-person shooter with RPG elements developed by Bungie and published by Activision. The sequel takes place one year after the events in the Destiny: Rise of Iron. The Red Legion of the Cabal, led by the towering commander Ghaul, has devastated the Last City and scattered its Guardians. The surviving heroes will need to venture into new worlds to discover powerful weapons and combat abilities, and rally to take back their home.

The game comes in several different editions: Standard, Expansion Pass Bundle, Digital Deluxe, Limited, and Collector’s. The contents of these are outlined below.
