Speaking during a live Q&A with fans, Bungie’s Luke Smith confirmed that the studio has Destiny 2 veteran rewards lined up for those who have been with the franchise since the days of the original shared-world shooter.
Smith confirmed that the former Halo developer confirmed that it will be honoring those who played Destiny 1, but wouldn’t go into any details during the video. However, presumably we can look forward to some sort of in-game reward, possibly a weapon or piece of armor, or even an emblem.
During the same video, Smith also talked about the direction that Destiny 2 DLC may take, hinting at the return of an old foe. In addition, HDR support is also coming to the PS4 version of the game after launch.
Destiny 2 is due for release on PS4 and Xbox One on September 6, 2017. Read our impressions of the European Dead Zone.
If you’ve already pre-ordered the digital version of the upcoming shooter, then be sure to make a note of the Destiny 2 preload date.
Destiny 2 kicks off following a devastating attack on the Tower, humanity’s last stronghold, by a Cabal unit known as the Red Legion. As a result, Guardians are forced into hiding and lose all their hard-earned equipment, which means you, the player, won’t be able to transfer any of your loot and gear over to the sequel.
Bungie is implementing a number of key changes for its highly anticipated sequel. Chief among the new additions to the Destiny formula include a revamped Crucible experience, which focuses on 4v4 matches, as well as a more expansive open-world ripe with side quests, known here as Adventures.
