The long wait is over: Destiny 2 will be playable at midnight on September 6.

It’s one of the most highly anticipated releases in a while, and judging from what we saw in the beta, it could very well end up being the biggest game of 2017.

But what exactly is Destiny 2? Check out the video below for a quick introduction:

The game will be available on PS4 and Xbox One on September 6, but PC players will have to wait until October 24.

“A great story. Awesome characters. A menacing villain. A clear mission. A gorgeous, expansive world to explore. And of course, great, innovative gameplay that is fun to play solo or with friends. Destiny 2 has it all,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision.

“Whether you’re one of the millions of fans who are already a part of this community, or you are brand-new to the Destiny world, this game is something all different kinds of fans will enjoy and appreciate. We can’t wait to share it with you.”

Bungie CEO, Pete Parsons, said: “Destiny is designed to bring players together, and we are humbled to be part of the communities who breathe life into our worlds. For us, it’s all about the stories, memories, and friendships that are made when people come together.”
