The release of Destiny 2's Forsaken DLC has come, and the 2.0.0.1 update is available. If you haven't yet gotten to dive into the expansion and its first mission, we've got some gameplay footage from that opening chunk of the campaign to tide you over and to give you a taste of what awaits. Spoiler warning: If you're attempting to go into Forsaken without seeing anything about it beforehand, you'll want to stop reading and avoid the video.
Above, you can see some of the early Forsaken missions. This actually starts prior to the Cayde-6 death sequence we've seen in previously released trailers, as he calls you in to help deal with a riot at the Prison of Elders. It's here you'll bump into the Awoken character Petra Venj (returning from Destiny 1's House of Wolves DLC), who serves as an ally during the DLC.
The riot turns out to be an attempted prison break, as Uldren Sov--the brother of the Queen of the Reef, Mara Sov, who has been missing since The Taken King--is looking to bust the captured Barons out. As opposed to the version we saw in one of the aforementioned trailers, you actually get to experience Cayde's Ghost destroyed from the perspective of your Guardian. Beyond all of this, you'll also get to see some of the new enemy faction, the Scorn. These are Fallen enemies who have been corrupted, giving some Taken-style twists on existing archetypes.
Forsaken looks to be a major expansion for Destiny 2; it's been positioned as this game's equivalent of The Taken King, which marked a major turning point for the original Destiny. Alongside a new campaign, it includes the new PvP/PvE hybrid Gambit mode, a new Raid (unlocking on September 14), nine new subclass tiers (with accompanying Supers), and a variety of new gear, Crucible maps, and more. It released on September 4 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, although PS4 gets some exclusive content that won't be on other platforms for at least a year.
