60 free Destiny trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
53 free Destiny trivia questions with answers. Destiny launched in 2014 as the biggest new-franchise debut in history, and spent a decade being loved, mocked and grinded in roughly equal measure. This quiz covers the original: the shared-world shooter idea, Guardians and Ghosts, the three classes and their supers, the Traveler and the Darkness, the Vex, Hive, Fallen and Cabal, the Vault of Glass, the Loot Cave, Peter Dinklage's wizard from the Moon, and the composer Bungie fired. Then Destiny 2: the Red War and Ghaul, Cayde-6's death in Forsaken, Stasis on Europa, Savathûn's Throne World, Neomuna, the Witness and the Pale Heart, Prismatic, the 12-player Excision, and the run of events from Sony's $3.6 billion purchase to the last expansion and the end of live-service updates in 2026. It suits Day One players, lapsed Guardians and anyone still arguing about the vault. Every answer was checked against the Wikipedia articles on Destiny, Destiny 2, its expansions, Bungie and the voice cast, and each question shows the sentence that supports it once you answer.
