Story

Humanity's last safe city has fallen to an overwhelming invasion force, led by Ghaul, the imposing commander of the brutal Red Legion. He has stripped the city's Guardians of their power and forced the survivors to flee.

What is happening now

Destiny 2 is Bungie's free-to-play online multiplayer shooter, built around cooperative strikes, competitive PvP modes, and seasonal content updates that drive its evolving sci-fi narrative. The game has faced significant turbulence recently. Bungie conducted substantial layoffs and is now exploring options to sublease portions of its Bellevue headquarters, a move suggesting financial strain on the studio. The layoffs represent a notable contraction for the developer after years of supporting the title's live-service model.
