5 New Destiny 2 Features Worth Upgrading For

New Destiny 2 features have gaming fans in a frenzy. Bungie is calling the new title a fresh start for all players, and that fresh start includes new worlds and content upgrades that players of the original Destiny will want to upgrade for.

Destiny 2 and Destiny are a lot alike. It’s still primarily a first-person shooter game. Weapons and abilities allow gamers to attack others and defend themselves. Players still earn in-game items for their characters by going on missions and completing them. Strikes and Crucible multiplayer are among the original Destiny features that we know are staying around.

Expect lots of change though. Whereas the first Destiny focused on becoming a Guardian and using those powers to protect humanity, Destiny 2’s theme is redemption. The first game had players defending Earth’s last remaining city and the Traveler Orb that floated above it. Destiny 2 sends players on a quest to reclaim what was theirs The quest to prove that they are worthy and regain what they lost is the main crux of a story that Bungie hopes players with the existing game will upgrade for.

Destiny 2 Cinematic Story

> 1 / 5

The most exciting of Destiny 2’s features are what Bungie is calling its “cinematic campaign.” That’s because the original Destiny arrived with an unorthodox single-player. The story wasn’t cohesive and didn’t dive into the game’s lore much. There were times when the story that was there seemed out-of-place. Destiny 2 promises a real narrative. Nathan Fillion and Lance Reddick star in the game’s story. During the middle of a calm meeting, it slowly dawns on the command staff at Earth’s last remaining city that something is about to go wrong. Soon they’re bombarded by a huge garrison of battleships. The Red Legion wants the power of the Traveler Orb floating above the city for itself. Gamers can expect lots of cutscenes between tasks in the game’s campaign. The scenes Bungie has shown off so far feel more like a movie than a video game. They are better at conveying what’s going on than Destiny’s story.
