Nab Destiny 2: Forsaken on PlayStation 4 and you'll get access to an exclusive Strike called Broodhold. It sees players shoot a lot of evil aliens and, er, pick up large worms. That's pretty much all we gathered from the PlayStation Underground gameplay that we've embedded above, anyway.
To be fair, it looks like another enjoyable Destiny 2 Strike, but will you be playing through it next week? Let us know if you're looking forward to Forsaken in the comments section below.

I personally don't agree that a game like this should get exclusive strikes with it been multi platform. Everyone across the whole gen should get it but then again who am I to say because MS did it last gen over PS3 a lot. Still think it sucks though
@Nakatomi_Uk Yeah, it's a crappy practice.
Ok @shogunrok was that tagline a Mitchell and Webb Sir Digby Chicken Caesar reference? Well played if so.
@Johnnycide Honestly no, but now that you've mentioned it I'm going to pretend that it was.
Already pre ordered on ps store. Cant wait 😁😁
@Nakatomi_Uk I can only think of one game that had exclusive content - I know Fifa had the Ultimate team on Xbox but I can't think of any other and certainly NO game that had exclusive content for a whole year (or more). I do recall DLC arriving a whole month early in CoD - which I do agree was very bad practice but I also remember that Sony were getting exclusive content too on PS3 that never came to Xbox. As an owner of both a 360 and PS3, I was able to take advantage of both so I would buy games like CoD on Xbox (as I would buy the DLC) and games like Battlefield to get the DLC a week earlier and Assassins Creed etc on PS3 to get the exclusive 'bonus' missions. Watchdogs too also had 'bonus content on PS4 so MS owners didn't get as much for their money as Sony gamers.
I guess its not as bad as those games that had permanent exclusive extras as Xbox owners will 'eventually' get these - maybe! Its still a bad practice and I totally disagree with any 3rd Party exclusivity of content. At most, 1 week of exclusivity is more than enough but a whole year is absolutely ridiculous!!!
You can argue about who started it, who was the worst culprit for buying extra content or earlier DLC releases but this practice should not be acceptable in 2018 anymore. Regardless of what console you own, you should be able to buy the game and get the same game-play content, the same 'experiences' etc. At most, I would accept some exclusive cosmetic bonuses for buying on a specific console - a PS exclusive weapon camo/ornament, an exclusive ship/sparrow or even the exclusive 'armour' sets as these will no doubt have perks that other armour has too.
Exclusive strikes, exotic weapons etc though are unacceptable and this practice needs to stop - regardless of who started it or who was the worst culprit in the past.
@BAMozzy I think GTA4 had exclusive content for 360 I think it did but I agree that it's a bad practice and is so PS2/Xbox gen because exclusive content came on the disc
@BAMozzy - the division had 30 days timed exclusive on xbox for the expansion packs. most bethesda stuff has some kind of exclusivity for xbox too. and if i recall, assassin's creed has flip-flopped between xbox and playstation. as for FIFA, i'm pretty sure EA looked at the 14m units sold on PS4 and the 3.5m sold on xbox1 and thought not selling the legends ultimate team packs on PS4 was a big financial mistake.
unfortunately, i don't see the practice ending anytime soon unless gamers on affected platforms vote with their wallets (like i did for the division dlc).
@leucocyte Assassin's Creed has now flip flopped to Xbox but Ubisoft and Playstation were very close and often had deals with extra content for PS owners - not timed either. Its only recently that Xbox has become partnered with AC - since Origins but games like AC4 for example had an extra hours worth of missions, same as Watchdogs too on PS. That itself is different to having a week or month earlier access to DLC that 'everyone' will get their hands on in a relatively short time frame.
Bethesda has had a partnership with Xbox but the 'Mods' on Fallout 4 was more down to Sony policy than Xbox and why it was much more difficult to implement and offer the range that Xbox has.
Flip flopping though is down to contracts and renewals - CoD flip flopped to PS4 after the contract with MS was played out.
As far as I am concerned, all these deals do is breed fanboyism and divide gamers. Even though I own both a PS4 and XB1 and therefore can buy the versions with extra or earlier access to content, I still totally disagree with this practice. At most, a consoles exclusivity should extend to games only and that ALL Multi-platform releases should offer the same content across ALL platforms they release on. I don't even agree with just marketing deals either as these insinuate a game is only available on that system. I know MS would be in the proverbial mire if all they could talk about were their own games right now at E3/Gamescom but I still think that multi-platform releases should not be affiliated to any specific platform, that the pubs/devs should and can talk about any platform version, that they all have the same content and release window too. Even though I know that's unrealistic as money talks, at most though, the only exclusive content should be cosmetic items and not game affecting - I even think that is too much...
