Sony has announced that Destiny 2 will be accompanied by a slew of new hardware releases, including a Destiny 2 DualShock 4 controller and new PS4 bundles for Europe and Australia.
The controller features the game’s logo on the touchpad and includes some Destiny 2-themed branding on each side of the handles, all of which come in a stylish gold color. Sadly, it’s not coming to the U.K. Poland, or Russia, and there’s no word yet on a North American launch.
As for the hardware bundles, Sony will launch both a jet black and glacier white PS4 Pro bundle featuring a physical copy of Destiny 2, the game’s expansion pass, and other ‘premium digital content’ including the Legendary Sword and emote, plus Cabal emblem. No price has been announced as of yet.
Sony has already announced a glacier white PS4 Pro bundle for the U.S., which also comes with a matching white controller. No doubt the amount of PS4-specific bundles is a result of Sony’s ongoing timed-exclusivity deal with Activision.
Destiny 2 is scheduled to ship for PS4 and Xbox One on September 6, 2017, with a PC version following on October 24. The game takes place following the events of Destiny’s Rise of Iron expansion, and sees the tower come under attack from a deadly Cabal unit known as the Red Legion. Consequently, the Guardians lose all their equipment, which means you, the player, won’t be able to transfer all your hard-earned loot and gear over to the sequel.
The Destiny 2 beta recently wrapped for PS4 and Xbox One, which offering players a chance to tackle the first mission, Homecoming, two Crucible matches, and the new Strike titled Inverted Spire. Bungie later confirmed that the beta was taken from an older build of the game, and thus many issues have been fixed for the final version of the game.
Those of you who pre-order Destiny 2 will be able to access the Kill-tracker Ghost and Coldheart exotic rifle.
