Millions of players explored the ruins of Earth during Destiny’s recent beta, but the game’s latest trailer provides a closer look at an area that’s a bit more alien: Mars. According to developer Bungie, the Red Planet is home to what was once a thriving metropolis, but is now referred to solely as the exclusion zone, where relics of civilization are buried deep below the dusty surface.

Destiny launches on September 9th.
