Destiny 2 with extra features in the PC version

Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg announced that pre-orders for Destiny 2 have reached an all-time high. He didn't want to reveal the exact number, but considering Activison Blizzard's portfolio it must be quite a lot.

The upcoming PC version of Destiny 2 should not be entirely innocent of this. In contrast to the console-exclusive first part, this time PC players can also plunge into the adventure.

The next statements by Hirshberg fit in with this, the developers are placing particular focus on new features in the PC version. Unfortunately, he did not reveal whether these were just UI adjustments for mouse & keyboard control or more profound changes. For this, fans have to wait until the premiere event on May 18, 2017. Detailed information is to be published within this framework.

Destiny 2 will be released on September 8, 2017 for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4. The massive multiplayer online first person shooter is the successor to the console-exclusive hit game Destiny.
