<p>Destiny 2&#8217;s open beta began on July 21, and offers players a taste of the campaign and multiplayer. The opening mission, Homecoming, is available and you can see some of the cinematics from the campaign. There&#8217;s also the attack/defend Countdown mode on the <a href="http://ift.tt/2tHc25S">Endless Vale</a> map.</p>
<p>The Inverted Spire is also playable for those who want to try a strike. It&#8217;s set in a Vex stronghold and can be played with two friends. Matchmaking is available to fill these slots for those that aren&#8217;t using a pre-arranged Fireteam. Click here to see <a href="http://ift.tt/2uABxZa">a video of the open beta in action</a>. For PC players, an open beta is currently being planned for late August.</p>
<p>Destiny 2 launches on September 6 for <a href="http://ift.tt/2mUsZbd">PS4</a> and <a href="http://ift.tt/2nK1ajp">Xbox One</a>, and on October 24 for <a href="http://ift.tt/2nKlIbK">PC</a>. The game will feature considerable changes from the first Destiny, such as <a href="http://ift.tt/2thBHDL">a social space that&#8217;ll evolve over time</a> and <a href="http://ift.tt/2togeay">a new Raid that&#8217;s &quot;unlike anything we&#8217;ve done,&quot;</a> according to Bungie. In addition, it&#8217;ll feature <a href="http://ift.tt/2ug2Nwy">a lot more story than the first game</a>.
