Destiny 2 PC open beta starts August 29

Bungie have confirmed that Destiny 2 [official site], the online hangout and dancing social space with an attached MMO-FPS, will launch its PC open beta on Tuesday, August 29. That'll run until Thursday, August 31. If you've wondered what consoleers have been on about these past few years -- and what Adam enjoyed so much when he played at E3 -- you'll be able to find out for free. Bungie have also confirmed tentative PC system requirements so you can figure out if you'll be able to run Destiny's Child.

Consoles already held betas earlier this month but, much like the full game's release, ours is held back.

The beta contains one story mission, two PvP modes with two PvP maps, and one cooperative mission. The console beta offered one hours' access to the social space -- the heart of the game, as I understand it -- and presumably that'll happen for us too.

Destiny's Child is coming to PC on October 24. People who pre-order will get beta access one day early, on August 28, but I'm sure you know better than that.
