On September 4th the new Destiny 2: Forsaken PS4 expansion launches for Activision's popular first-person shooter, and with it comes new armor sets, a new exotic weapon, a new ship and a new strike as part of their latest PlayStation-exclusive content update.

Below are some fresh Destiny 2: Forsaken PlayStation 4 trailer videos with an Image Gallery and the exclusive content details from Sony Social Media Manager Justin Massongill, to quote:

Here's the full rundown of what to expect:

• Exclusive Exotic Weapon: Wavesplitter - The weapon has three power levels that oscillate while the trigger is held down. This is communicated to the weapon’s wielder via various indicators: laser thickness, sound effects, and a meter on the weapon.

Wavesplitter can be powered up to its maximum power level for a short period when an Orb of Light is collected, ensuring maximum devastation.

• Exclusive Strike: Broodhold - Broodhold is Forsaken’s new PlayStation-exclusive strike, for any Guardian willing to delve into the depths of the Tangled Shore and eradicate a troublesome Hive infestation. Fight through a crashed Hive Tombship teeming with Thralls, Acolytes and Knights until you face the Hive Brood Queen.

The Hive Brood Queen will alternate between a physical and shadow form, employing different abilities in each state. Guardians will have to stay aware to guard against her physical attacks through smart use of cover and positioning. To survive against the Queen while in her shadow form, Guardians would be wise to keep moving to avoid being poisoned.

• Exclusive Ship: Great Beyond - Guardians on PS4 will also uncover an exclusive new ship: Great Beyond. It comes from an undiscovered country from which no explorer has returned... until now.
