Destiny 2 just launched on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One earlier this week, but Bungie is already looking forward to the month ahead, offering a preview of what Guardians will be playing after burning through the story campaign.
Bungie outlines Destiny 2’s first month of content
When the Leviathan raid, Xur and Nightfall strikes are coming to Destiny 2


We knew that Destiny 2’s first raid, Leviathan, will launch next week on Sept. 13, with Trials of the Nine following two days later. Bungie also confirmed that Friday, Sept. 15 will also see the return of exotic gear dealer Xur. But there’s much more coming to Destiny 2 in its first four weeks.
Bungie also outlined the weekly Nightfall strikes and Flashpoint locations coming soon, both of which will give players opportunities to earn valuable rewards.
Week four of Destiny 2 will be an important one, as Bungie’s new Guided Games beta will help solo players find a fireteam for the Leviathan raid, and the first Faction Rally begins. In October, Bungie promises the return of Iron Banner in Crucible and the prestige version of the Leviathan raid.
