In September 2019 Guardians will return to the Moon in Destiny 2, that epochal location from the original game known for being the home of Peter Dinklage's quotable wizard. Destiny 2 players will be revisiting the Moon as part of the upcoming Shadowkeep expansion, delving further into the dark below than even The Dark Below expansion did in 2014. While Bungie isn't yet ready to fully unveil what Guardians can look forward to within Shadowkeep, they do have a teaser to keep players excited.

Ongoing is this year's GuardianCon convention, an event built around Destiny livestreamers, their communities, and raising money for charity. Bungie's usually a presence at the convention, though it's not an official Destiny or Bungie convention. This year's no different, with Bungie attending and deciding to share a bit of previously unreleased footage. The video, a clip from Bungie's livestream, shows some of the Moon environments that Destiny 2 players will see in Shadowkeep.

For Destiny 2 players who aren't worried about light environment spoilers, the short video is a must-watch. Each scene lasts only a second or two, showcasing over a dozen locations that live up to Bungie's impressive standards of quality. Standing out from the rest of the scenes is, of course, the Shadowkeep itself. The huge red castle is as beautiful as it is daunting, with cracked walls and horned crenelations.

Then at the center of the Shadowkeep's wall is a giant portal. Guardians can probably imagine what kind of Hive horrors lie beyond, though the video also teases some of the torturous  traps players will be discovering on their own.

Bungie's spent the past month breaking down its ideas for how to take Destiny 2 and the Destiny franchise forward as an independent developer. Guardians have been incredibly supportive of what Bungie's talked about so far, but will also hold Bungie to a high level of accountability. Bungie's taking its time with Shadowkeep, introducing players to things as the content is ready to be shown. And so far, as this video shows, everything on the Moon looks very good.

Destiny 2 is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with a Stadia version also in development. The Shadowkeep expansion releases September 17 across all supported platforms.
