Bungie dropped a big surprise at Gamescom tonight.The new trailer for Destiny 2: Shadowkeep shows a Vex army amassing, While Guardians are busy trying to figure out what's happening on the Moon. so prepare to shoot a bunch of them in the face when Season of the Undying begins. You can watch the trailer below.

"We say that the Black Garden is the birthplace of the Vex, but it was not the beginning," Warlock Vanguard Ikora says in the trailer. "It was the reason. The life in the Garden called out a question. The Vex are the answer. They will do anything to protect the Garden. In these things, there is symmetry. The gateways have opened. The Vex are coming."

The trailer references the Black Garden, "a realm isolated from time and space" that's protected by the Vex, a machine race powered by genocidal sentient milk. But as Ikora Rey narrates, "The Black Garden is the birthplace of the Vex, but it was not the beginning—it was the reason. The life in the Garden called out a question. The Vex are the answer."

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep will launch on October 1, bringing major changes to the Destiny 2 experience. On the same day, Destiny 2: New Light will make all previous content free-to-play, but existing Destiny fans will need to purchase the expansion to access new content.

A few days after the expansion drops, on October 5, Season of the Undying will kick off. All purchases of Shadowkeep will come with a season pass, so this will be accessible to anyone diving into the expansion.

Shadowkeep will take you back to the Moon, which we haven't been back to since Destiny 1, but this trailer is showing off the raid that will take place in the Black Garden. This looks like it's going to follow through on some of the narrative threads dropped at the end of the original game's campaign, which is good - players have waited years to learn more about the Vex.

Destiny 2 is also getting cross save on August 21, which will make it easy to import your characters and progress as you see fit.
