Destiny 2 Guide to the Planets
Explore the galaxy of Destiny 2, which is home to a number of planets filled with activities and secrets to find. Learn more about each one in this handy guide.
Destiny 2 will take place over various planets, including our home planet Earth. Each will offer a new set of visual treats as you visit them and hold plenty of activities to keep you busy as you progress on your journey to reclaim the light and stop Ghaul's Red Legion. While you wait for the PC release on October 24th, let's have a recap of each planet that you will find in the action shooter sequel Destiny 2 when it lands later this month.
Planets
The galaxy is home to many planets, some large and some small - each one filled with activities to see and do for Guardians looking to try something new. Planets can be unlocked as you progress, and eventually you will unlock a vehicle as well as fast travel points to make getting around them even easier.
Earth
Earth is where your adventure begins, when you start you will have to battle your way past Ghaul's siege on The Tower. Eventually you will make your way to the European Dead Zone (EDZ), as well as setting up base in the new Social Hub - The Farm. As you'd expect, the EDZ is filled with ruined structures, forests and a decent amount of enemies trying to stop you. Fortunately you'll have allies in the fight and you will meet characters like Devrim Kay, a scout that helps the resistance in the area (and can offer you powerful gear early on).
Io
After Ghaul attacked Earth, the Warlock leader Ikora Rey fled to one of Jupiter's Moon Io and took with her a band of the Resistance in order to find something to stop him. The planet itself is was terraformed by The Traveler before the Collapsae and is now filled with Red Legion, as well as enemies that lurk in the shadows. It's also home to powerful Vex Machines and mysterious tech that could prove dangerous in the wrong hands.
Titan
Saturn's Moon Titan is made up of oil rigs and construction towers, with rolling oceans that blanket the entire surface of the planet. After suffering a loss against Ghaul on Earth, Commander Zavala leads forces here against the Red Legion, Titan holds many secrets and enemies are around every corner.
Nessus
Nessus is home to the Vex, who have transformed the world into an almost completely mechanical world. The planet is also where you'll find Cayde-6, the Hunter who gets into quite a spot of trouble. You'll also discover the Colony Ship Exodus Black, with the only remaining survivor being Failsafe, who is the Ship's AI that aides you in the fight. Explore a world with Trees, Swamps, Caverns and waterfalls as you help the planet against terrible machine beings.
