Destiny 2 - First look at The Farm Social Hub

Developers Bungie reveal the new social hub players can look forward to in the upcoming shooter MMO sequel Destiny 2, and yes you can still get mail.

For many one key aspect to playing a huge MMO game is the social experience that comes with it, and Destiny 2 is no exception. We've already heard that clans will be important and Bungie wants to make a social space for those looking to chat/hang out with other players in their downtime. In the original Destiny, players would do this within the "The Tower". Due to the opening events of the sequel however, this will be a problematic place to hang out with buddies, so we're getting a brand new social space with "The Farm".

In this new look from IGN we are introduced to The Farm, which can support up to 26 players at one time (more if you count the chickens). Everything you need to unwind between missions will be here, should you need to check your mail then there's a place for that. Best of all, The Farm also adds in a new social aspect of the game with fun "mini games" like Football (or Soccer if you prefer) that's a fully fledged game - complete with it's own scoring!

You will even spot a few faces from the original game making their reapperance in Destiny 2, plus you can expect new ways to "stand out" from the crowd within The Farm (though details were scarce).

Will The Farm become a complete replacement for The Tower, or will we later find a new place to call home with our vendors? It's unclear but for now we're excited to play some Football with our clan mates!
