Early access
Pre-Order now and get exclusive early access to Destiny 2 closed and open beta before everyone else can! When you pre-order the game you will be given a redeem code for the beta access. The start date of early access is unrevealed yet though.
This time around, Activision has announced that Destiny 2 will be available for PS4, Xbox One and due to its huge success with the Original Destiny game they are releasing it for Windows PC as well.
Nintendo Switch?
The dream is a possibility however it is highly unlikely for Destiny 2 to come to Nintendo Switch.
While most of us wish this could be a reality, The Nintendo Switch’s hardware just isn't powerful enough. Destiny 2 isn't coming out on the Play Station 3 or Xbox 360 which means Destiny 2 is ready to harness the full power of the current gen consoles Play Station 4 and Xbox One
Which edition should I buy?
New to Destiny?
Destiny has been known to be a game that's built its success based off of DLCs and microtransactions. If you're new to the series and have the extra gold to spend, the Digital Deluxe Edition is the way to go. Although the base game is already a good buy on its own, if previous experience is any basis, you won't be disappointed with any of their DLCs and expansions.
Long-time fans
Players who have had played the first Destiny game are probably still playing it up to this day. Planning to buy Destiny 2 is probably already on your wishlist and no longer need further enticing but the Collector's Edition looks like a great purchase for die hard fans of the game.
DLC/expansions
According to leaked information, at least 2 DLCs will be available on Destiny 2. The first one will be released in winter, 2017, and the second one will be released in spring, 2018.
New class/subclass
While the classes Destiny had may remain the same, the sub classes may not. The Traveler is on Earth and this has paved way for new technology and possibilities for humanity's advancement. We may be seeing new abilities and sub classes but we also might lose some.
The reveal trailer of Destiny 2 also hints at some lore and in game sub classes. In the trailer we see the Traveler being encased in some sort of shield. The Ghosts are no where to be seen during the reveal and everything is gone. No Ghosts and no Traveler means no Light for the guardians, which means no subclasses. At least not the sub classes that are based on the Light.
