Experience the Most Transformative Moment in
Destiny History from the Award-Winning Franchise
Popular, New Mode “Gambit,” First-of-its-Kind
4v4 Hybrid Activity Included with Forsaken
Bungie, High Moon Studios, and Activision, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), deliver
Destiny 2: Forsaken, available now for download on
PlayStation®4, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X,
and PC. The PC version will be available exclusively on
Battle.net®, Blizzard Entertainment's acclaimed online-gaming
platform.
The genre-defining Destiny franchise has received global acclaim
since its release in 2014. The latest offering, Destiny 2:
Forsaken, brings with it the most transformative moment in Destiny
history, changing the way players fight, and deepening and
broadening character progression by giving the player more freedom
of choice. Forsaken will reinforce the hobby players have come to
celebrate over the years. Players will travel to the lawless edge
of the solar system and dive deep into a new frontier filled with
enemies, allies, and untold mysteries, to avenge the death of
beloved character Cayde-6. Featuring an all-new cooperative and
competitive activity called Gambit and an evolving endgame
destination called The Dreaming City, Forsaken tells a dark and
revengeful story in the Destiny universe.
Gambit is a first-of-its-kind hybrid game mode, combining the
best of PvE and PvP. Two teams of four face off against each other
in separate but identical arenas. Teams fight enemy
combatants, collect the motes they
drop, bank them to send powerful blockers to slow down
the opposing team, and then invade the enemy side for
intense PvP showdowns where disruption is the goal.
“We’ve evolved the Destiny 2 experience to appeal to our
incredible community with a deeply personal storyline, loads of
content crafted for players who love Destiny, and a massive, new
destination built to specifically house an endgame experience like
never before,” said Jonty Barnes, General Manager for Destiny at
Bungie. He added, “We have plenty of surprises in store in the
weeks and months ahead, and we have been working all year with our
community to make sure Forsaken will meet their expectations.”
“Destiny has a remarkably diverse community of players,” said
Byron Beede, Executive Vice President and General Manager for
Destiny at Activision. He added, “Destiny 2: Forsaken, offers both
veteran and brand-new players a huge variety of gameplay
experiences. With the Complete Collection and the Level 30
Character Boost, it’s a great time to continue your adventures,
bring your friends into the game, or jump into the universe for the
very first time.”
