A new live action trailer for Destiny 2 is out this week, alongside release information for some of the most anticipated endgame content coming to Bungie’s next shared-world shooter. We even found out when the Leviathan raid, a subject of much speculation this month, will open its doors.

All the new information comes courtesy of Bungie’s weekly update on all things Destiny. With the game’s console launch less than a week away, many Destiny players are wondering how look they’ll have to wait for other familiar activities, like raids, the Trials of Osiris and Nightfall strikes. The good news is that Bungie says all three will emerge the same month as Destiny 2. And we’ll only have to wait a week to experience the game’s first raid, which may or may not ask players to dive into the belly of a giant space fish (for reasons not yet known). The studio says Leviathan will open one week after launch, on Sept. 15, and it won’t be the only activity making a comeback that week.

Here are all the dates Bungie says we need to know:

  • Nightfall: Ready when you are

  • Raid: 10 a.m. PDT, Sept.13

  • Trials: 10 a.m. PDT, Sept. 15

Bungie also published a new trailer, directed by Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts, for Destiny 2 this week. The live-action trailer is narrated by Nathan Fillion, the voice of Cayde-6, but doesn’t include any new gameplay. It is a pretty fun clip to watch though, assuming you aren’t fed up with the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” yet. Bungie says a shorter version of the trailer will also run during the Alabama/FSU game on Saturday (Sept. 2) afternoon.

For more on Destiny 2, take a few minutes to watch the live action trailer released this week. Then head down to the comments and let us know what you’re most excited to see or do when Destiny 2 hits consoles next week.

Destiny 2 is in development for PS4, Xbox One and PC. The game hits consoles on Sept. 6 before making the jump to PC in October.
