<p><a href="http://ift.tt/2nxouDP">Destiny 2</a> game director Luke Smith has teased the upcoming shooter&#8217;s first raid. Raid 5, as it&#8217;s known only right now, will be set in a place that players &quot;believe is real,&quot; Smith said in a new<a href="http://ift.tt/2tFj7GW"> interview with Mashable</a>. He added that this raid, whatever form it takes, will be unlike the four that came before it.</p>
<p>&quot;Raid 5, when we looked at it, it was about building a place you believe is real. That was our priority,&quot; he said. &quot;A place that you believe could exist. It&#8217;s unlike anything we&#8217;ve done. The team is incredibly talented; it is a joy to see them work.&quot;</p>
<p><a href="http://ift.tt/2nbwXuy">Destiny 1</a> had four raids: Vault of Glass, Crota&#8217;s End, Kings&#8217; Fall, and Wrath of the Machine. Raid 5 sounds like it&#8217;s going in a new and exciting direction, and we&#8217;re eager to hear more about what&#8217;s in store.</p>
<p>In other Destiny 2 news, Smith wrote on Twitter recently that he is very excited to be playing a new build of the shooter at home. Really excited.</p>

Players can play in a beta for the game starting on July 18 for PS4, July 19 for Xbox One, and in late August for PC. You can read about <a href="http://ift.tt/2sBvJOp">why the PC version is coming out after the console versions here</a>. In addition, we had a chance to talk with Bungie at E3 2017, and <a href="http://ift.tt/2s7aNOa">you can read our interview here</a>.</p>
<p>Recently, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said <a href="http://ift.tt/2tl4YM9">Destiny 1 didn&#8217;t release content fast enough to meet players&#8217; expectations</a>. To address this, Activision is <a href="http://ift.tt/2tl4YM9">bringing in more studios to work alongside Bungie on Destiny 2</a>.</p>
