The game director has revealed to fans that should they purchase the hotly-anticipated sequel on the same format they bought the original 2014 title then they will be "remembered".

In a response to a Twitter question from a fan who asked if there will be any perks for those who played the first game and whether gamers have to buy the title on the same platform, he said: "You're going to enter the world a little differently to people who didn't play 'D1'.

"Will you need to buy it on the same platform for them to work? The answer to that is yes. If you're an Xbox player, in 'Destiny 2' on Xbox we will remember and show you that we remember when you boot up the game and enter the world."

But Luke admitted there are certain things he is going to miss in 'Destiny 2', including weapon Fatebringer, which he isn't sure he will ever get over.

Speaking in a Wired video, he added: "I'm not going to speak for the whole team, I will only speak for myself. It's a weapon I wanted from the moment we created it. It was a weapon that when I got it I stood up in my living room and let out a yelp and a fist pump and my golden retriever looked at me like I was a lunatic.

"Its name was Fatebringer. I will miss it. Forever."

'Destiny 2' is to launch on September 6 for PlayStation4 and Xbox One, and a PC release will follow in October.
