Going under (and through)

Once again, Bungie posted an update on their doings on Thursday, and once again, though it made it into our Weekly Update Archive in a timely fashion, it did NOT make it here, to the front page. Doesn't mean you shouldn't read it, though. It's full of goodies. We're introduced to the Shattered Throne, along with a new Crucible mode, Breakthrough. We're given encouraging news about Masterwork Cores and Exotic drop rates. We're treated to a postmortem of the first Season 4 Iron Banner tournament. We're shown a gorgeous gallery of art, from High Moon artists that worked on Forsaken. And there's a chance that your Destiny artwork can be immortalized in Bungie's Holiday cards. Go read, go watch! (While you're at it, we forgot to mention last week's, too - though, again, it was up in our Weekly Update Archive the same day it was released on B.net. It has more info  about Breakthrough, including screenshots of new maps. It's got time-sensitive info  - now expired - about Gambit, and EGX, a gathering that took place in Birmingham, UK last week. And it's got info about the team(s) that beat the Last Wish raid first. Sorry!)

A Whole Passel of Updates

Looks like it's been almost a month since we posted a 'This Week At Bungie' on the front page. This is attributable to two things: PAX, and Forsaken. We're sorry. You should read all of the updates Bungie has posted, though, because they're FULL of info. On August 30, they told us that Forsaken was coming, and gave us a roadmap for the next year or so. (They also told you to visit them at PAX, but you either did, or it's too late.) On September 6, they teased the Raid, they offered free music, and they told us about issues that cropped up with Forsaken's launch. And yesterday, there was more Raid info, a gorgeous gallery of Forsaken artwork, info about the upcoming Iron Banner, and the future of the Bungie Bounty program. (Among other things.) Although these didn't make our front page until now, they've been in our Update Archive since the day they each went live (August 30 | September 6 | September 13). Definitely look them over. Lots and lots of good stuff. We'll try and do better.

Destiny 2 Update 2.0 Patch Notes and Beyond

Along with the Launch Trailer, Bungie has released the patch notes for Update 2.0, which brings pretty hefty changes to the way the weapons, exotics, Milestones, rewards, and player abilities work. Some exciting stuff available now, and some more will be accessible when Forsaken drops on Tuesday.

This update isn't the last change that you'll see from Bungie, though, and they've made a post detailing what's to come in the months after Forsaken's launch. Whether or not you buy into the $30 Annual Pass, it looks like there will be quite a few things to look forward to over the next year!

Destiny 2: Forsaken Launch Trailer.

Luigi and Cayde-6 are dead, and Uldren Sov and his eight Barons are loose in the Reef. But policy means that the Vanguard can't officially get involved. That's where you come in...

Bungie has released the launch trailer for next week's Forsaken expansion, which dives deeper into the characters and motivations that will unfold before your eyes. So get ready to gear up, because revenge is yours, Guardian.

This Week At Bungie - 08/23/18

This Week At Bungie, Cayde's been having a rough time. If you're staying dark for Forsaken (ten days to go!), then you might not want to watch the Last Stand of the Gunslinger video that was shown off at Gamescom. If you don't mind sneak peeks, then you'll be happy to know that Gambit will be available for all Destiny 2 players for one day on Sept. 1st, no Forsaken needed.

Once Forsaken launches on Sept. 4th (after a bit of downtime for maintenance), you have ten days to gear up for the new Raid, "Last Wish", which gives you a bit more time to try to get closer to that 600 Power-level cap (it's a bit of a hike!). And speaking of gaining more power, Design Lead Josh Hamrick (Josh 'em Rick?) stops by to fill us in on how the new Mod system works, and how you will be able to acquire them. We also get a glimpse of next week's patch notes, if you're curious about how some exotic and ability behaviors are changing.

And Speaking of changes, Destiny Player Support has a pretty extensive list of what's coming and going with Tuesday's patch (this is your last weekend to go for the Trials of the Nine Achievement/Trophy!). The whole thing is wrapped up with a filter-heavy montage and a mood-heavy time-lapse painting of Cayde. It's the meatiest update in a while, so if you want a read that's a bit easier on the eyes, check our local copy of the update. And thanks to cheapLEY for the heads up!

This Week at Bungie - 8/16/18

This Week At Bungie, they want you to know about all sorts of things. They're showing off Gambit at Gamescom, in Germany, so there's some answers about Infamy, the upcoming ranking system for Gambit players. Meanwhile, they want to make you feel better about Glory ranks. They also want to let you know about changes in the social systems in Destiny. They're highlighting a new, pretty fun-sounding mode in Crucible Labs. (Scorch Cannons for Everyone!) They have lots of info from the Player Support team (including some great stuff about what you DON'T have to finish by August 28). And they have a bunch of fan content - videos, a fantastic group self-portrait by fan artists, Nightfall scores, the works! Go read it, either at Bungie.net, or in our Archive.

This Week At Bungie - 8/9/2018

Wait, what? We forgot to let you know about a Weekly Update AGAIN? I mean... okay, anyway, you should read it. It's pretty solid. (We've had a copy in our Archive since Thursday.) Lessee... it's got:

• The Combat Reveal Stream archive from last week
• The Dreaming City Trailer as Forsaken PR
• Details from the Investment Team about becoming powerful in Y2
• Details about the next Iron Banner (starting Tuesday)
• Details about Power Levels in Season 4
• A (temporary) goodbye to Faction Rallies
• Details about Eververse changes
• Details about Crucible Labs changes
• Extra Valor Weekends (going on NOW!)
• A report from the Player Support team
• Fan Videos
• Nightfall scores

It's a busy update!

Find Out How We'll Fight in Forsaken

Curious about how different the combat is in Forsaken? Good news! Bungie is going to have a stream at 10AM PDT on August 7th to show it all off to us! From what they've said so far they are going to go over the new weapon system, the new mod system, and the changes being made in Crucible. You can watch it below or over on their Twitch channel.

This Week At Bungie - 08/02/18

The weekly update Bungie posted yesterday is chock-full of fun content. There's fan art they tweeted earlier this week, there is a fascinating infographic with aggregate numbers for the community (did you know that Destiny players have completed more than 77 million Escalation Protocol waves?), there are details about items that will be retired once Forsaken drops next month (along with items that will not), there's a heads-up about the Combat Reveal stream happening next week, there's lots of stuff from the Player Support team (known issues, as well as reminders), and there's fan video content. Go read the whole thing! As usual, there's a copy in our Archive.

This Week At Bungie - 07/26/2018

This 'we're a few days late on the Weekly Update' thing is getting old... but we're a few days late. Again. You should go read it, because it's good stuff. There's a video showing off new weapons and gear from Forsaken, there's info on a PvP reveal stream taking place in a bit over a week, there are details about the upcoming iteration of Crucible Labs, there is a reminder of the Development Roadmap update last week, there's a peek at the upcoming activities planned for August, there's a preview of a hardcover Grimoire Anthology, and more. It's beefy! Go check it out. (Either at B.net, or right here in our Archive.)

This Week At Bungie - 07/19/2018

It's a busy week, for Destiny 2. Update 1.2.3 launched on Tuesday, bringing a raft of new features and improvements. The last Faction Rally of Season 3 is currently happening; if you want your last shot at those sweet Exotic Catalysts, this is the time to earn them. And Bungie is gearing up for Solstice of Heroes, dropping in less than 2 weeks. So check out the What's New post from them, for full details! The World's First teams for both Prestige Lairs are honored. A wrapup of GuardianCon makes an appearance, via Twitter. Destiny Player Support gets a new report name ("Player Support Report") and a new logo. And fan vids and Nightfall high scores are highlighted. Go check it all out! (We've got a copy in our Archive, of course.)

This Week At Bungie - 07/12/2018

Although it made it into our local archive last Thursday, it's only today that we're reminding you that Bungie posted a new weekly update several days ago. (Hey, it's summer. Sometimes it's hard to make it inside!) It's worth a read; there are details about the upcoming return of Destiny Bounties, reminders of the Forsaken content you can find in Game Informer, a preview of the changes dropping in update 1.2.3 tomorrow, a heads-up about the future of the Prismatic Matrix, notes from the Destiny Player Support team, and fan-chosen, fan-made videos. Go read it all!

Happy Bungie Day!

Bungie is celebrating Bungie Day with details about the upcoming Moments of Triumph, launching later this month. Lots of goodies, both in-game and out, are or will soon be available - go read for more details! The Bungie Store has special items available (history suggests you should buy soon if you're interested), and the post also contains some great-looking Forsaken-themed wallpapers. Happy Bungie Day!

MotS: A Poetic Adventure (Part 1)

OS_Epsilon stopped by with a pretty amazing fan creation, in celebration of Bungie Day - it might need a little explanation. When the Music of the Spheres was written, accompanying poetry was commissioned from poet Malcolm Guite. Because of the issues with the release of MoTS over the years, this poetry was never released... until now. With narration by My Name is Byf and Moonvald, and some very nice visuals, you can enjoy the first of these poems on YouTube (or above, embedded). Malcolm Guite wrote up his own thoughts of this release (and some more details about the poetry itself) on his website. There's a 17mb booklet that goes along with this release, containing the first poem (The Moon) - we've made a local copy available so that you don't have to navigate MediaFire.

This Week At Bungie - 7/5/2018

Yesterday was Thursday, so Bungie let you know how the week had gone (and was going). You can, as usual, read about it all in our own archive, if you choose. Topics included the winner of last week's Faction Rally, the upcoming GuardianCon in Tampa, the ongoing Forsaken coverage in GameInformer, changes to the release schedule of Prestige Raid Lairs, extra goodies for Crucible players this weekend, and the standard features (Destiny Player Support report, along with fan videos). Check it all out!

This Week At Bungie - 6/28/2018

Yesterday was Thursday, so Bungie posted a news update - and it's worth reading. (You can, of course, read it here, in our Archive, as well.) It contains lots of interesting stuff: there's a post-E3 report from several members of the 'Away Team' that was in LA a couple of weeks ago. There's a preview of some Roadmap updates coming this summer (including, specifically, details about Crucible changes coming with the 1.2.3 update due on July 17). There's a bunch of information about the Prestige variants of both Raid Lairs, also dropping in the July update. There's some fantastic info about changes to Collections coming in Forsaken, in September (and what it means to you NOW). And, of course, there are reports from the Destiny Player Support team, fan-created videos, and Nightfall high scores. All in all, some real meat to sink your teeth into!

Wait, is it Monday already?

Last Thursday, Bungie (as is their custom) posted their weekly update on their website. And we (as is our norm) posted a local copy in our Archive. But I (as is my norm) forgot to mention it to you, our readers, here on the front page. Sorry! If you haven't already, you should go read it - plenty of good stuff, much of it starting tomorrow. Two weeks after the season's first Faction Rally ended, the second one starts! Crazy, right? There's also a summary of some Exotic Armor tweaks coming next month, a heads-up that a bunch of old Halo data on Bungie servers is going away this week, and the standard stuff - Destiny Player Support, videos, Nightfall scores. Go read!

Gambit Gameplay from E3

Our own mastrbiggy was able to grab some video from a Gambit match at E3 this week; it's not him playing, but the footage does a decent job of showing the various aspects of a Gambit match. Go take a look! (Watch on YouTube for full res; 4k should be available - if it's not, wait a bit and try again.)

This Week At Bungie - 6/14/2018

A new weekly roundup went live at Bungie.net yesterday (and in our Weekly Update Archive here) - as you might expect, it does a decent job of recapping the reveals from E3, with teases of the new goodness that's coming in September with Forsaken... but there's other stuff, too. As we all know at this point, Dead Orbit won this Faction Rally, but now we have numbers. Iron Banner is making its next return on Tuesday - you've got 7 days of 6v6 Control to continue your progress on Season 3 Ornaments. The third episode of the Warmind comic will drop next Friday (you can catch up at comics.bungie.net if you missed either of the first 2). You can get information on how to buy a Bungie Pride shirt to support the LGBTQUIA community. And, of course, you can get the latest updates from the Destiny Player Support team and see the week's best fan-created vids. Go read it!

Wondering what Gambit is like?

Bungie's released a trailer with an overview of the new hybrid game mode coming with Forsaken this fall: Gambit, the PvE/PvP mixed mode, looks killer! Thanks to InsaneDRIVE for the heads-up.

Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Bungie has released what they call a 'Forsaken Story Reveal'. It's... revealing. If you want to go totally blind, don't watch this... but be aware that Bungie has no problem with you knowing the information contained herein. And as the discussion on our forum reveals, you might not actually know what you think you know.

This Week At Bungie - 6/07/2018

Well, yesterday was Thursday, so Bungie posted their Weekly Update - and as you might expect, it focuses a lot on the  recent Forsaken reveal. If you missed it, they've got the new ViDoc, and an archived copy of the livestream reveal discussion. There's also a bullet list if you don't have time for videos. 

Cutscene Library Updated: Warmind

These were uploaded on Memorial Day, but things got hectic... so you're only seeing them now. Thanks to Cody Miller for the fast turnaround, and apologies to the rest of you for the delay!

Enjoy the Warmind cutscenes in both streaming and downloadable formats, with 5.1 surround audio and resolutions up to 1080p. 

This Week at Bungie - 5/31/2018

The weekly news from Bungie is live on their site (and in our Archive), and while there's plenty to read (including details of stuff that didn't quite work out in the latest patch), the big news is next week's Faction Rally. Not only is it changing from what we're used to, but the rewards are... significant. Go give it a read!

Enemy-specific fan armor

These... are really gorgeous. I'd wear all of them.

This was a fun little exercise, photobashing some Destiny Armor concepts out of existing Bungie assets. Fallen Slayer and Cabal Slayer gear.
