Another year marks another new expansion forDestiny 2. Year eight of the FPS looter shooter begins withThe Edge of Fate, a new DLC launching July 15.
Having defeated The Witness inThe Final Shape,the Guardians now turn their attention to a mysterious invitation to the edge of the solar system and a new destination called Kepler. New enemies, weapons, armor, powers, and discoveries await.
BeforeThe Edge of Fate begins, though,Destiny 2will go offline for several hours of server downtime and maintenance. Bungie will be hard at work deploying the update to the servers, but in doing so, players will need to find something else to do while they await its arrival.
