Destiny 2: news and videos

In the upcoming Destiny 2: Forsaken DLC, it seems that Nathan Fillion will not be returning to the role of Cayde-6. Speaking with Kotaku's Jason Schreier, Fillion revealed that Nolan North (Uncharted's Nathan Drake) will be stepping in to f...

Every time I come across a quirky feature or an Easter egg I make a judgment call of sorts. It really just boils down to "is this worth sharing?" And given that the vast majority of the responses that I've read had no idea this concept exis...

If you still happen to play Destiny 2, you'll definitely want to log in on July 31 to get in on the new Moments of Triumph event. Just like the previous celebrations for Destiny 1, it's an achievement hunting set of tasks that require playe...

Bungie just updated its playerbase on Destiny 2's latest happenings by way of their weekly blog post, and on July 17, parch 1.2.3 hits. Among other things like PVP updates it'll finally bring Prestige difficulty to the game's two raid lairs...

Bungie is looking to sway newcomers with a Destiny 2 free trial weekend on PS4. All modes are included and the promo runs from Friday, June 29 at 12:01am Pacific until Monday, July 2 at 10:00am. You can download the trial right here. It's...

Bungie recently did a new pass on Destiny 2's exotic weapons, tuning them up so that people will actually use them outside of the few meta min-maxed items for high-end content. It was long overdue, but they left out a huge aspect of the re-...

Bungie's showcase of Gambit, the upcoming PvPvE mode for Destiny 2, did what it needed to at E3: it convinced me that I'm still capable of getting back into this game -- and this is the mode to pull me in. Not new storylines or loot grinds ...

Platform exclusive wars have become fucking cat fights. When Sony famously took Microsoft to task on its E3 stage for its now-reversed regressive stance on used games, MS would in turn retort a few years later with double-generation backwar...

Directly following the announcement of the upcoming major Forsaken expansion, Bungie dropped some big news in their reveal stream -- the "season pass" concept is getting a complete overhaul. Rather than do the whole "one big expansion,...

Bungie has revealed the new expansion for Destiny 2, dubbed "Forsaken," and it looks like the first substantial update since launch. It takes place on the Tangled Shore (part of the Reef), and deals with a horde of prisoners -- or as B...

In what is one of the slowest cycles for a AAA game in recent memory, Bungie is slowly chipping away at issues in Destiny 2. It hasn't quite solved the content problem, given that the last two expansions were tiny and only introduced normal...

Destiny 2, much like the original, has been having a whole host of issues since launch. Bungie will often times just push the "go" button and deploy patches while closing their eyes, and all sorts of code will just rattle around in the proc...

Although they will have a presence at the show, Bungie is going ahead and skipping a full E3 reveal for its "Year 2" plans, and will instead reveal them completely ahead of time on June 5. The stream will take place on Bungie's Twitch chann...

Every so often studios will put time into crafting alternate reality games. Some of them don't go so well, like the time Capcom scattered fake body parts throughout a major city, but some are pretty awesome. I think this recent Destiny 2 st...

Today marks the release of Spire of Stars, Destiny 2's latest raid "lair," followed by the proper raid Leviathan, packed in the base game, and the micro-raid Eater of Worlds, released with the first disappointing Curse of Osiris D...

On a stream today, Bungie and Vicarious Visions detailed Warmind, the Mars-centric expansion for Destiny 2. It's due out in just two weeks -- on Tuesday, May 8 for $20 -- and spans a few key additions. There's a new horde-mode-like endgame ...

Bungie is almost ready to lift the lid on Destiny 2's next expansion, Warmind, but for the time being the studio has released a new teaser trailer. The next stop for Destiny 2 players is going to be the Hellas Basin on Mars, and there's als...

Bungie has shared an updated roadmap for Destiny 2 that stretches into September (with new features like weapon randomization) and schedules the second expansion, Warmind, for May 8, 2018. The studio vaguely describes Warmind as sending pla...

Destiny 2's development schedule is even more slow-going than Destiny 1 somehow, but one could make even more relevant, recent comparisons to account for said slowness. The standard that Bungie needs to be held to is the current landscape, ...

Bungie is rapidly losing their audience with questionable decisions for Destiny 2 and its lukewarm post-launch content drops, but an upcoming Prestige raid "improvement" sounds like one of the worst changes yet for dedicated raiders. I...

Bungie has some catching up to do with Destiny 2. Over time it was clear that they weren't up to the task of supporting it in the short term, so now they're aiming for a schedule that's a little more involved -- say, to the end of 2018. In ...

Bungie was basically shut down for the entire holiday season when Destiny 2 was at its worst. Fans were demanding answers for changes, for the focus on microtransactions, and the complete lack of communication from the studio after pro...

While The Dawning was running over the past few weeks, Bungie was mostly on vacation and communication has been fairly dark. It broke the silence today with a huge blog post touching on its plans for Destiny 2 in 2018. In an attempt to be l...

One of the biggest letdowns in Destiny 2's first expansion (and Bungie's entire history, actually) is the "Infinite Forest." Initially this was billed as some sort of repeatable activity, and some fans even thought it would operate like the...

[Update: The onslaught continues. It's been roughly two weeks and every day, almost every single topic on the official forums is filled with "down with Eververse" posts. It's very rare that you see this kind of momentum, and Bungie has hit ...

Christmas has come and gone, and with it a lot of shiny new game systems have been brought into homes all around the world. Sony and Activision have thus seized the opportunity to push a sneaky, sneaky ad on your PS4 dashboard (similar to t...

Odds are you're against loot boxes. The argument that they're "cosmetic" isn't enough to outright ruin a lot of games for me, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with the practice. The idea of locking so many skins and cool-looking conten...

Xur, the creepy guy who sells players randomized special loot each week since the start of Destiny 1 (and by proxy, 2), is back once again today, but he's getting a few changes to make him more enticing. For one the "Three of Coins" item re...

This week, Destiny 2's "Flashpoint" exercise is on Mercury. For the uninitiated, this is an easy weekly mission that each character can complete through public events that grants one piece of "Powerful Gear," one of the best ways to level u...

It's always something! Following complaints that Bungie had locked Destiny 2 players out of previously-accessible content (including some related Achievements/Trophies) with the release of the game's Curse of Osiris expansion, the studio ha...

Destiny 2 just hosted its first expansion this week, The Curse of Osiris. It was disappointing to say the least, littered with core issues that plagued the game since the start, and a relatively light amount of content. To make matters wors...

As I reported in my review of the latest add-on, Bungie has locked base players out of the Prestige (hard) raid in Destiny 2, forcing them to buy the new expansion to play it. Yes, the hard mode version of the raid that came with the game i...

Destiny 2 has an endgame problem, and Bungie has an image problem. We've been through this dance before with the first Destiny. The fans want more, Bungie says they're going to acquiesce, but they don't, at least not fully, and then in a ye...

Destiny 2 has a long way to go until it claws back from the hole it dug post-launch, but there's an effort being made today with some updates and a new expansion. We'll see if it's actually enough, but for now, if you pre-purchased the DLC ...

I was so focused on hearing about Destiny 2's future that I let its first expansion, Curse of Osiris, sneak up on me. That's out tomorrow for $20 (or $35 as part of the game's expansion pass), and with it comes new story missions on the Vex...

A friend of mine picked up Amazon Alexa recently. She controls the lights in his home, she also knew that Robert De Niro was 74 years old. Unfortunately, she had never heard of The Industry's Chris Moyse, so I guess the technology isn't qui...

As promised, Bungie has shared its plans for the future of Destiny 2 in a blog post today. Aside from going over upcoming "systems, features, and updates [...] being designed specifically to focus on and support players who want Destiny to ...

Bungie has shelved plans for its third and final live stream for Destiny 2's Curse of Osiris DLC in favor of addressing growing concerns in the community over the state of the game and its future direction. "Tomorrow, we had planned to cond...

Several weeks after launch, people started to really pile on Destiny 2. It wasn't just that it had introduced new problems that had already been solved in the first game, nor that the endgame activities were poorly handled, but a lot o...

It took a couple months, but Bungie is nearly ready to roll out a trial for Destiny 2. The demo will be available starting tomorrow, November 28 and it's set for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. This'll be a good way to check out the latter...

[Update: Caught, Bungie seems to have read the message loud and clear, and "effective immediately" they are deactivating the system. You can find their short blog post on the issue here. The gist? The system basically lied to players and ma...

This week the final challenge hit Destiny 2's first raid, Leviathan. Available on both normal and hard these somewhat esoteric tasks require a bit of finesse, so here's a quick breakdown of how they work.

After getting absolutely stomped in Trials of the Nine last weekend, I have to say, I'm ready for Iron Banner to return to Destiny 2. I could use the confidence boost. The week-long player-versus-player event comes back next Tuesday, Novemb...

The second faction rally (and first for PC players) has come to a close in Destiny 2, and thankfully, it wasn't another Dead Orbit victory. If you pledged to New Monarchy, you'll be able to pick up a sword, Honor's Edge, for 1,000 glimmer. ...

First off I have to crush your hopes and dreams -- Bungie is not bringing a 60FPS update to the Xbox One X or PS4 Pro for Destiny 2. They already said the PS4 Pro can't handle it, and I seriously doubt that they're going to just hand over a...

It's been a while since Bungie has released a game on PC, 10 years to be precise. A lot has changed since Halo 2 came out and by the looks of their current ban policy on Destiny 2, it seems like Bungie is having trouble finding their footin...

Right now, the main things to do in Destiny 2's PVE endgame are to get level 305, complete the hard mode (Prestige) Leviathan raid, and finish all four of its challenges. So far two challenges have debuted -- the Royal Pools (where you have...

Bungie and Sony showed off some new footage for Destiny 2's first DLC, Curse of Osiris today, and it looks pretty damn nifty. It's due on December 5, and will feature the lore-heavy character of Osiris himself, as well as some Vex shen...

Amidst all of the issues that Destiny 2 currently has with its endgame, it's nice to hear feel-good stories like this one. One such tale is the conquest of an all-deaf clan called DESTINYERRORALWAYSFAMOUS [DEAF] which bested the D...

Bungie's space odyssey Destiny 2, which launched this week on PC, has walked straight into an instantaneous controversy, as many players are reporting that they have already been banned from the sci-fi shooter.Reddit was filled with claims ...
