The world of "Destiny"— the newest franchise from Bungie, the original studio behind "Halo"— has undergone its biggest transformation yet, thanks to this week's release of "The Taken King" expansion.
"The Taken King" marks the beginning of Destiny's second year on the market: Not only does it introduce a host of new challenges, enemies, and gear to obtain, it also completely transforms how people play the game.
Whether or not you're new to "Destiny," it helps to get a birds-eye view of everything you can do in the game, given how much has changed.
Here's what "Destiny" looks like at the beginning of Year Two.
The story — or lack thereof — was a major complaint when "Destiny" launched last year. "The Taken King" introduces a more straightforward plot with beautiful cutscenes.

In "The Taken King," you'll fight an army of corrupted aliens called Taken, led by King Oryx.

Luckily, your Guardian will receive a wealth of new powers to fight this new threat.
