It's important to note that pre-load is only available for players that pre-ordered Destiny 2.
Although Destiny 1 featured some unique takes on otherworldly environments, at the end of the day players were still exploring planets like Mars, Venus, and Earth.
Countdown: Enter the Crucible to battle other Guardians in a brand new mode.
Control: The original standard for Crucible combat is back, with some impactful changes. It is set in a Vex stronghold. Bring two willing allies, or let Matchmaking introduce you to a Fireteam of Guardians. For the curious, Warlocks gets Dawnblade and Voidwalker, Hunters can utilise Arcstrider and Gunslinger, and Titans can call upon Striker or Sentinel. Open Beta kicks off on July 19th.
There is a bit of catch when it comes to the accessibility of Destiny 2 beta content, and Bungie has clarified it just ahead of the beta launch. Most vendors and services will be offline.
Clan Support: It's true that Clans will be supported in Destiny 2, but those features are not a part of this test.
Sneak peek: Ed Sheeran's cameo in the first episode of Season 7
Season 29 of The Simpsons - which kicks off October 1 - also features guest vocals from Norman Lear and Shaq. Sheeran's Simpsons episode will air in the States some time around November this year .
To help ease the pain Bungie are offering players an exclusive Emblem which then shows that you've been helping shape the game by playing the beta. The package can be obtained for only $499 and this is no different to purchasing Destiny 2 and a brand new PS4 Pro separately. Nothing we do in the Beta will carry over to the final version of the game on September 6.
For solo players, you'll be able to shootenbang your way through the first couple of "cinematic story missions", known as Homecoming, but the bulk of the beta is aimed at multiplayer shenanigans (and you'll need a PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold membership for these).
For Sony, the strong anticipation for Destiny 2 translates into a massive opportunity to strengthen sales of the PS4.
While the Destiny 2 Limited Edition contains everything above, plus a Limited Edition SteelBook Case, Cabal-themed Collector's Box, Cabal booklet, Cabal Schematic, Cabal Postcards and Cabal Military Pawns.
The long-awaited and much-hyped Destiny 2 beta is right around the corner.
