Destiny 2 features four new locations to explore: The European Dead Zone, the Vex planetoid Nessus, the Saturnian satellite Titan and the holy land of Io. Here’s what project lead Mark Noseworthy had to say about these new zones when I quizzed him about them at last week’s Destiny 2 reveal.

In Destiny 2 there's a new player in town: The Red Legion. Much like the Cabal on Mars and Phobos, these guys are massive walking tanks who require plenty of ammo to take down. On the surface, the Red Legion are typical Cabal shock ‘n awe troops. Dig a little deeper however, and you’ll find that these “special forces” have a few new tricks and units up their massive sleeves, as they’re more than prepared for your usual techniques.

In Destiny 2 a new threat has emerged from beyond our solar system: Dominus Ghaul, leader of the Red Legion and the force behind the invasion of the Last City that results in every Guardian being cut off from their source of Light connected to the Traveller.

A Raid may be Destiny at its most Destiniest, but I’ve loved me a good ol-fashioned strike. It’s the middle-ground between the longform structure of a Raid and the more open exploration of the sandbox activities of Destiny. A quick jaunt into an environment fraught with peril and the bullet-spongiest of bosses around. Destiny 2 has a brand new Strike featuring just those elements in the form of the Inverted Spire.

The setup for Countdown in Destiny 2 is easy enough: Like every other mode on offer the action is restrained to 4v4, respawns are limited and you have only one life to give when said revives are spent. The objective? Activate a charge and defend it for around half a minute or defend said charge and defuse any that have been activated. It’s simple, fast and furious. Which is why Countdown is so much damn fun to play.

Bungie has spoken a little more about Destiny 2 on PC. Specifically about how it doesn't have a release date yet, and isn't being developed only by Bungie.

FINALLY, DESTINY 2 IS COMING. With a ton of info, as developer Bungie decided to spill the beans on their first proper sequel. Beans which we picked up,to the tune of fifty as today’s hands-on session revealed plenty of information. Here’s the rundown of what I discovered while I wandered if I could kill the YouTuber in front of me and consume his place in the line to play Destiny 2.

Over at the Jet Center today, I managed to sit down and prove that ye gods going from PS4 controller back to a mouse and keyboard is an utterly alien sensation. Beyond that, Destiny 2 plays very much like Destiny does already. But like totes prettier yo.
