Filmmaker Joseph Kosinski (Oblivion, Tron: Legacy) directed via production house Reset this trailer designed to introduce a mainstream audience to Destiny and its in-game experience of planet-hopping adventures with their friends. Ad agency 72andSunny created this cinematic two-minute trailer centering on a Fireteam’s epic, action-packed road trip across our Solar System to face our enemies, take back what is ours and, in the end, Become Legend.

The trailer features the “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin, a band notorious for rarely letting any of their music get licensed, let alone what’s arguably their most famous and iconic track.

The levitating AI character of the Ghost is voiced by Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones, X-Men: Days of Future Past), who plays the same character in the game, which launches worldwide on Sept. 9.
