Amazon’s Alexa assistant can now accept questions regarding Destiny 2 lore, as well as send messages and equip items.
If you’re a owner of the device, you can now download the Destiny 2 Ghost skill. It includes over 1000 custom voice lines from Nolan North and as well as relaying information on the backstory, has a few helpful abilities too. The Ghost can recommend in-game activities, send messages to your friends and equip up to four different armor loadouts you set for each activity. Here’s some footage of the gear swapping in action:

You can also ask the Ghost for social information, requesting information in who in your clan is online or details of various features, as shown below:
To tie in with the release, Amazon and Bungie are also releasing an Alexa-compatible wifi speaker in the shape or your little ghost buddy. It’s a tad expensive for our tastes, however, at $89.99. The skill is available to download now, and the limited edition speaker ships December 19.
