Following the announcement that The Final Shape got postponed, Bungie has slowly been cooking a free interim content drop, Destiny 2: Into the Light. Drenched in nostalgia, Into the Light has a slew of returning content, but an all-new set of Destiny 1-inspired armor isn’t on the docket after all. This clarification comes after the latest TWID blog post, where Bungie said that its next Destiny 2: Into the Light livestream – slated for March 26, 10 AM PT – would discuss the all-new Brave weapon set, which may or may not…

Bungie has banned the Destiny 2 accounts of participants in the tirade of toxic and hate-filled comments that underscored the first Into the Light livestream.  While the stream showcased a free update offering the horde mode players had long begged for, the Twitch chat quickly became awash with racist, homophobic, and otherwise vile remarks. Then, after one developer inadvertently showed their Steam username, a flood of friend requests began to appear on stream, most with equally racist or otherwise toxic public-facing…

Dust off your best Grandmaster attire. There’s a new sword being offered as a Nightfall reward in Destiny 2, and it can drop with some spicy rolls. The Slammer is a new Stasis Vortex Frame sword that released alongside the weekly reset on March 19. With rolls offering the ability to slay out multiple Champion types or become a horde cleaver, Guardians may want to prioritize nabbing The Slammer over daydreaming about the upcoming Onslaught activity or grinding Guardian Games All-Stars. Nightfall Strikes are a variant of…

Bungie’s been having a rough time following the release of Destiny 2‘s Lightfall DLC. Amidst layoffs, the problematic in-house atmosphere, and its final season being perfectly average in most regards comes a new set of corroborated rumours claiming that the upcoming Marathon game has been retrofitted into a hero shooter. According to a report from IGN, Bungie’s shakeup goes further into more than just Destiny. In a leadership change, Marathon‘s creative leadership, specifically game director Christopher Barret, is being…

Bungie's Marathon has undergone leadership changes and the game's direction has taken on a new shape in recent months. This report comes just a few months ahead of the launch of the next Destiny 2 expansion, The Final Shape.According to an IGN report, Bungie has started shifting around the developers leading Marathon as it attempts to get the game finished and out the door. This includes replacing game director Chirstopher Barrett, a long-time Bungie game designer, with Joe Ziegler, who left the Valorant…

Today, Bungie took some time to talk about the upcoming Into the Light update coming to Destiny 2. In the first of three livestreams, the studio confirmed that Into the Light would feature a new wave-based “Tower” defense mode called Onslaught. Onslaught marks the first true horde-esque activity for Destiny 2. However, Bungie has experimented before through activities like Escalation Protocol stretching back to Warmind content. As those attempts never quite scratched the itch, players never ceased their calls for a horde…

Depending on how big of a classic Bungie enjoyer you are, you may or may not have been horrified upon learning that the revival of Marathon would be… a live-service extraction shooter. Regardless of whether that turns out well, though, there’s good news, classic Marathon coming to Steam! Do note, however, that this is not an official Bungie effort. Indeed, the Destiny developer isn’t using this as an opportunity to regain community goodwill ahead of The Final Shape‘s release. Instead, we’re looking at an…

Each year the Guardian Games returns to Destiny 2, Bungie takes on the arduous task of balancing the event. Despite the focus on population differences in this year’s Guardian Games All-Stars, the new Focus Activity feature is throwing a wrench into the gears. As such, Bungie announced on X, formerly Twitter, that the Focus Activity is temporarily scaled in favor of Warlocks and Titans until a more permanent solution is reached. Screenshot by Destructoid Destiny 2 scales Focus Activity after Hunters dominate the…

As this year’s Guardian Games rage on, hoverboards and all, some are more excited about the upcoming Into The Light release, whose leaked gear banks heavily on nostalgia. The information we’re about to share comes straight from Bungie’s Destiny 2 API, as per the ever-popular Today in Destiny website. Notably, Today in Destiny is a powerful third-party utility that helps Guardians keep up with the game…
