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.

Nightfall Strikes are a variant of…

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…

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.
