June 9 is fast approaching, andDestiny 2will soon enter its reveal season. Today on Twitter, Bungie teased the player base with another clip from the upcoming expansion.Similar to the Eris Morn teaser, the cinematic features a fan-favorite character, this time the Drifter heading straight to Europa.
The previous teaser was solelyposted on Instagram but later taken down, leading players to believe that this was unintentional and was leaked to the internet. Regardless, the word got out and Europa was essentially confirmed as the next destination forDestiny 2.

This new teaser once again confirms June 9 as the date for the unveiling of the future of Destiny 2. It shows the Drifter inside a small scout ship exiting a larger vessel. The smaller ship is unnamed for the time being, but the larger one is most likely the Derelict for a few reasons. First, it’s the Drifter’s base of operations. Second, the ship’s signature front-facing blue dish can be seen briefly behind the scout transport at around the 6-second mark. Clickhereto view the tweet.
Later, the Drifter spins his iconic jade coin and lights it up. This trick wasintroduced duringJoker’s Wildas marketing for Gambit Prime - the more intense version of Gambit. In the same scene, Drifter is seen wearing a breather. Eris was also depicted covering her mouth while on Europa so the breather could just be for oxygen. However, multiple human NPCs inDestiny 2never wear masks while on extraterrestrial bodies, thus, the breather could be showing that the Drifter is preparing for a more hostile environment than simply a frozen moon.
The rogue light-bearer is also no stranger to frigid environments, as he was once in a place “cold enough to snuff out one’s Light.” He is a character with an incredible amount of backstory and mystery, and it’s quite promising that he will take center stage after one and a half years of being absent from the main story.
Finally, and this crosses into spoiler territory, there was a supposed leak some time ago citing the events of the entire cutscene. What Bungie has officially released is only part of the prelude to the expansion, which will be fully showcased on June 9. The leak most importantly mentioned The Stranger, a mysterious Exo from vanillaDestiny. Back inWarmind, she wassuggested to be Ana Bray’s sisterbut this idea was never confirmed by the studio. The Exo Stranger appears to be a knowledgeable figure and could help in the coming war. According to the leaker, Bungie is aiming to create anAvengersmoment, joining radically different heroes to face an invasion.
Destiny 2is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia and Xbox One.
