With only a few days left before launch, the Destiny 2 hype train is at maximum velocity now! While we are all watching the clocks, counting down until that moment we can finally hit the X button to start our next adventure, here are a few key dates and times to mark on your calendar.

September 1st – Promotional sites go live. Both RockStar and Pop Tarts rewards are now live as you can start filling your postmaster with engrams and XP bonus items.

September 5th / 6th – Official Destiny 2 launch – The Destiny 2 servers will go live on September 5th / 6th when the clock strikes midnight for most of the world. This will be a rolling launch allowing players to log in at midnight local time. The exception will be the United States, and presumably North America, where the launch will be at midnight EDT (9pm PT / 10pm MT / 11pm CT on September 5th).

September 5th / 6th – Nightfall – Destiny 2’s first Nightfall will be available at launch.

September 12th – Guided Games Beta – Guided Games is a new feature allowing solo players to match up with existing clans for end game activities like Nightfalls and Raids. Bungie will be rolling this out as a “soft beta” on September 12th at 10am PT (11am MT/ 12pm CT / 1pm ET) for the Nightfall. While all clans will have access to the system, only 30-50% of solo players will be given access, allowing time for more clans to become available.

September 13th – Raid – Destiny 2’s first raid will be going live on September 13th at 10am PT (11am MT/ 12pm CT / 1pm ET).

September 15th – Trials – Trials of __ will be going live on September 15th at 10am PT (11am MT/ 12pm CT / 1pm ET),

September 26th – Guided Games (Nightfall and Raid) – Full access to the Guided Games system will become available for all solo players for the Nightfall and Raid on September 26th at 10am PT (11am MT/ 12pm CT / 1pm ET).

Don’t blink - the wait is almost over!!
