Destiny 2 – Forsaken: When will we hear more?

Bungie is ramping up to reveal more content about its next batch of DLC with The Forsaken.

The developer has already detailed the new gear we'll get, the new Supers on offer and the new Gambit mode, but the biggest news many are waiting on comes in form of the over-arching game changes in the sandbox.

To that end, Bungie is holding a “Year Two Combat Reveal” stream on August 7th at 10am PDT (that's 6PM on BST) on Twitch and YouTube.

Senior sandbox designer Jon Weisnewski is going to tell us all about the changes we can expect to see with ammo, weapon customisation, weapon slots and more during the stream.

He'll also detail the time to kill changes coming to PvP modes, as well as what new perks and loadouts you can run with in the game.

Bungie will release patch 2.0.0 on August 28th ahead of releasing The Forsaken on September 4th.

Destiny 2 – Forsaken DLC Announcement

Destiny Developer Bungie has revealed Destiny 2's first big year-two expansion for its troubled FPS sequel.

The next big DLC drop is called Forsaken and is due to launch on September 4.

This new DLC won't be part of any previous Season Pass content you may have bought, and will require a separate purchase on top of the base game in order to access. You can read more about purchase options below. You will not be able to access Forsaken without access to Destiny 2 and expansions I and II.

The DLC will introduce some massive changes to how Destiny 2 works, as well as introducing new modes, new missions and – of course – new gear. Bungie has stated that more work has gone into the endgame content of this DLC drop, in order to address players' biggest complaints about the title.

For the purpose of this Destiny 2 Forsaken guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about the upcoming Activision game ahead of release.

This shall include all the rumours about the game so far, as well as various development updates from the studio.

Between now and its inevitable announcement, we'll continually update this page with all the latest news and information you need as it's revealed.

Destiny 2 – Forsaken: How much will it cost?

Destiny 2: Forsaken will be available from UK retailers, with the product line-up also featuring; Destiny 2: Forsaken + Annual Pass, and the Destiny 2: Forsaken – Digital Deluxe Edition.

It was also announced that PlayStation gamers will get access to the following timed exclusive content: a strike, one gear set per class, a new ship and an exotic weapon. At Destiny 2: Forsakens launch, the previously released Destiny 2 launch timed exclusives will be made available for all platforms.

For Destiny 2, Bungie will also be implementing a brand new “Annual Pass”, similar to that of Fortnites Battle Pass, giving players a year-long access to endgame content that isnt attached to the larger expansions.

The Annual Pass will give Guardians access to the new weapons, areas, and raids from three substantial additions to the game that Bungie has planned, and will cost extra on top of the Forsaken expansion.

Forsaken and the Annual Pass will retail for $70 – or $40 for just the Annual Pass.

Destiny 2 – Forsaken: Raid

Bungie has described the Dreaming City as ”like the Vault of Glass and Dreadnaught had a baby.”

Bungie added the Dreaming City is “Full of secrets to discover and bosses to defeat, this destination also houses the brand-new raid and is the first space designed from the ground up to support endgame content.”

The Dreaming City is full of nature and greenery, though this is likely all to change as the raid descends into chaos.

Dreaming City is supposedly an endgame area, entirely cut off from the rest of the game, with Guardians able to do other activities in the region other than the raid.
