Destiny 2: Forsaken DLC Release Date And Pre-Order Guide (US)
<p>Developer Bungie has finally revealed <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/destiny-2/">Destiny 2</a>'s big year-two expansion. It's called <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/destiny-2-forsaken-dlc-release-date-trailer-and-ne/1100-6459402/">Forsaken</a>, and it launches on September 4. Just like The Taken King for the original <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/destiny/">Destiny</a>, Forsaken is a standalone expansion you'll have to buy separately even if you purchased Destiny 2's expansion pass. In fact, you can even buy a new "annual pass" to pre-order three additional content releases that will come out after Destiny 2: Forsaken.</p><p>Forsaken's story will bring players back to the Reef to fight off a group of powerful enemies who broke out of prison. The expansion also introduces a number of changes to Destiny 2, including a <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/destiny-2-forsaken-dlcs-major-new-mode-gambit-reve/1100-6459404/">new mode called Gambit</a>, as well as major changes to weapons, mods, and Masterworks. The idea is to keep players coming back once they've reached the endgame.</p><p>If you're ready to pre-order Destiny 2: Forsaken, you'll probably want to know what your options are. We've gathered all the info you need below.</p><h2>Warning</h2><p>Before diving into any of this, you should know that in order to play any of these versions of Destiny 2: Forsaken, you'll already <b>need to own Destiny 2 and Expansions I and II</b>. The core game and expansions are not included in any of the packages below.</p><h2>Destiny 2: Forsaken Pre-Order Bonus</h2><figure data-align="center" data-size="large" data-img-src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1165/11653967/3395296-destiny-2-forsaken-pre-order-bonus.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-3395296" data-ratio="0.5625" data-width="640" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 640px"><a href="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1165/11653967/3395296-destiny-2-forsaken-pre-order-bonus.jpg"><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1165/11653967/3395296-destiny-2-forsaken-pre-order-bonus.jpg" srcset="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1165/11653967/3395296-destiny-2-forsaken-pre-order-bonus.jpg 640w, https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scal...-bonus.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" data-width="640"></a></figure><p>With that out of the way, if you pre-order Destiny 2: Forsaken at participating retailers, you'll receive Cayde's Exotic Stash.
