What will feature in the Destiny 2 event at Gamescom 2021?

Teasing the content of the event, Bungie has posted this cryptic description on the company's official website: "Seven years of Destiny have led us here – to the precipice of an adventure unlike any we’ve encountered before. Join us and begin to understand what lies ahead. Will you survive the truth?"

We can be fairly certain that the next Destiny 2 DLC chapter, The Witch Queen, will be front and centre at this event! Yesterday, Bungie posted the teaser below to get us pre-emptively hyped:

"Truth is a funny thing", the teaser ominously intones, over images of a character (presumably Savathun, the Witch Queen) walking through an ocean littered with skeletons. That's all we've got to go on for now, but we should learn an awful lot more tonight. Set a reminder now and don't forget to tune in for the Destiny 2 Showcase at Gamescom 2021.

After the Destiny 2 stream is finished, Microsoft will take to the virtual Gamescom stage to host an Xbox live stream - you might want to tune into that one, too!
