Destiny Archives

Bungie are set to host a big reveal event for Destiny: Rise of Iron today, but it seems their big domino might have just fallen. As caught by Youtube user Jhairehmyah, the trailer apparently hit on Snapchat early It shows parts of the story, a shot of what looks like a massive raid, a new enemy type[...]

I really am quite excited to see what Bungie are cooking up with their Rise of Iron expansion, which has been making the rounds on the internet of late.

I've been very eager for a reason to jump back into Destiny, but the last few months has been a little dry We know we are getting an expansion at some point this week, and all signs point to it being called Rise of Iron. It seems we will know for sure next week During their[...]

It's not a huge secret that we can be expecting a Destiny expansion, a la The Taken King this year We can most certainly expect it to debut at E3, but it looks like it might have raised its head a little early. As posted on Reddit, this image is doing the rounds, which seems to[...]

Lord knows I love me some Destiny. "People still play that game?" Ha Ha Ha Stop it. Bungie's bizarre MMO, AAA FPS experiment has been something pretty unique up until this point There certainly have been stumbles, but there have also been lots of highs The loot chase is strong in the title, and the gun feel even[...]

As promised, thanks to a stream by Bungie, we now know some of the major updates coming to Destiny in the big April update for the game, so lets dive right into it. During the stream it was announced that the Light Level cap in the game was getting raised to 335, obviously with new ways[...]

Poor Destiny The game had a ton of momentum coming out of The Taken King, but it hasn't quite gotten the support it needed to keep us all playing The Live events have been neat distractions, but not quite the thing to get everyone jazzed about what's happening in game. Finally, it seems that the content[...]

Destiny has been floundering a little since The Taken King came out, with only minor live events happening around holidays It made us wonder what the actual plan was at Bungie, but now, it seems we know. Thanks to a fourth quarter results break down released by Activision, it was revealed that the future seems bright[...]

It's currently between content and seems to also be between delivery methods, as it doesn't seem anyone has a handle on what the future of Destiny looks like. Well, it seems the entire studio is somewhat in transition itself On the developer's blog, it was revealed that President Harold Ryan has now stepped down, and a replacement[...]

When Destiny: The Taken King came out, there was a renewed sense of optimism about the title, it now having a killer new raid and a rejuvenated story Since then we've seen controversial micro-transactions added, and while there have been minor seasonal events, the game has gone through a long period without any new major[...]

For a long time, based on leaked documents and court rulings, while never official, it was pretty much accepted knowledge that Destiny 2 was set for September 2016 The game was to have two mini DLCs both 'Years' with the a big DLC, what turned out to be the Taken King, breaking up major releases. It[...]

My appreciation and adoration for Destiny is well documented on the internet My displeasure when micro-transactions also entered the game is also well covered as well though. …and things just got a little more worrisome As pointed out by Reddit, you can now buy level 25 characters in the game This was a feature of the Taken[...]

A lot has been made about the cost of playing Destiny If you picked up every expansion in the first year at launch, the game costs around $120, which is a big turn off for many This was thanks to two big DLC's before the expansion The Taken King came a knocking. Well, going forward, it[...]

Destiny's King's Fall raid has already seen a 'Hard mode' added to give those who play it over and over again a new challenge However, yet more challenges await still. In Bungie's Weekly Update it was announced that the Raid would be getting weekly challenges added to it soon to make certain bosses harder to kill,[...]

With the crazy game release schedule right now, I've not been able to play Destiny much in the last few weeks Although, I've been keeping an eye on quite a few changes happening at the moment and there are a lot. One of the major things incoming  is a new batch of Year 2 exotics, which[...]

Adam Cook writes for Bleeding Cool… Fans of Destiny: this one is for you Do you have friends who don't play Destiny? Do you wish they would play Destiny? Well, according to an update on Bungie's blog, "Refer-a-Friend" is coming soon. Maybe you have a friend who will be getting Destiny as a gift this season[...]

While I have made my reservations of the newly implemented Destiny micro-transactions known in the past, on top of the others in the community who are a little hesitant about the new practice, it seems that that isn't stopping people flocking to buy the new Silver currency. As reported by VentureBeat, the micro-transactions have proven to be incredibly[...]

Destiny's story has long been a talking point, as the structure of the narrative and how it is told were undeniably weak in the initial release We've heard a lot of rumours about what happened, and explanations for how Bungie bungled the narrative prior to release. Previously, we'd heard there had been a run in between[...]

The Oryx fight at the end of the Destiny's King's Fall raid is a rather tough proposition for six players It's designed specifically with six players in mind, and even then, a ton of groups fail the final fight. Well, The Legend Himself and A Death Card have put everyone to shame by doing it as a two[...]

I've only just recently started making my way through Destiny's King's Fall raid It's incredibly well designed, and a lot of fun, but the challenge is most certainly there. Comes Tuesday, those nutters out there who want more, can make things ever harder As revealed by Bungie, Tuesday at 10AM, The Taken King raid will be[...]

A few days ago there was a worrying report that datamined files had been found that stated Bungie were going to be selling consumable items in Destiny as part of their new micro-transaction currency, Silver This would have gone back on their promise about not influencing the main game and only selling cosmetics, so there[...]

I've been very cautious about the micro-transactions in Destiny They went into effect yesterday, and as of right now, they are only for emotes, which are pretty fun I do worry that this will leave the door open to more game changing for transactions in the future though. As reported by IGN, worryingly some players thought[...]

I've long talked about my love for Destiny As some one who has put 100s of hours into the game, I especially admire the work Bungie did with The Taken King. I'm genuinely excited about how the future will shape up. This new post on the Bungie website has left me concerned though[...]

Destiny has a huge universe with more aliens to shoot than you can fathom However, as the game has progressed, one thing I've found interesting is the new 'big bads' that have emerged First we had the vague Darkness, then the Hive god Crota and now, Oryx, Crota's dad (so I guess dad-god?), has been and[...]

Destiny's original levelling system has always been controversial The 'light level' system was quite restrictive, and dictated the gear you could wear when it launched last September It was also confusing to those who didn't understand it, and caused a lot of people to drop off after that game's main campaign. In a new interview with[...]

If it is of any consolation, even though it is not my own opinion, from what I've seen and heard second hand, it is supposedly fantastic.] Destiny will forever remain a fascinating title to me Last year, I called it one of the most interesting AAA experiments put out for a long time The way it[...]

Every time a new raid comes out in Destiny, there is a race on for the most hardcore to beat it first The whose who of Guardians party up and try to become the first ever team to clear the Raid It's one of the highest achievements in the game, that only the most elite[...]

I've been playing Destiny: The Taken King since its release on Tuesday I'm a big fan of the changes it brings, and the way it seems to have rejuvenated the community. It seems people really have come back to the title too Activision have revealed some impressive record breaking milestones the game hit on Day One[...]

It is different from 'vanilla' Destiny, but plays with new ideas in a musical sense I'm really into it As I said the other day, the score is getting a standalone release too, bringing in music from the Dark Below and House of Wolves too. To celebrate that, here is a little behind the scenes trailer[...]

The Taken King is upon us, and with that, those of us who play will be taking all of our guardians into the depths of the Orxy's Dreadnaught to take him
