The expansion delivers a grim new tale of space justice, a new multiplayer mode, and most importantly of all, a game that's worth a second chance.

If you haven't already seen it and can't dive into Forsaken yourself right now, you can watch the first story mission from the expansion (which, sorry to say, includes Cayde's Very Bad Day) right here. You can also check out the Forsaken patch notes and post-launch plans, and if you need assistance, you can find it in Bungie's help forum.
