Destiny 2 PSA: You No Longer Have To Worry About That Tough Champion Quest Requirement
Bungie is removing the requirement to complete a difficult, time-consuming objective for this week's Season of Plunder story quest in Destiny 2. The quest objective to "defeat 50 Champions" will auto-complete for players, allowing them to advance the quest forward much more easily.
Bungie made the announcement on Twitter, stating that the 50 Champion objective was too difficult for some players. Judging by player feedback, that was definitely the case, since Champions mostly appear in high-leve
Destiny 2: Lightfall's Grapple Will Change How You Interact With The Whole Game
When Bungie gave Destiny 2 players their first look at the upcoming Lightfall expansion during its recent showcase event, there were a number of things about the game's next chapter that were surprising, but perhaps none were as unexpected as the inclusion of a new grapple ability. The Destiny games have always put a major premium on traversal and mobility, especially for a first-person shooter, but the inclusion of a grapple looks set to change the feel of the entire game.
The showcase mostly
Reality Check: What Is The Real State Of Blockchain And NFTs In Video Games?
When developer Bungie added the Forsaken expansion to Destiny 2, it also brought several new guns to its live-service experience. One of those weapons, a grenade launcher called The Mountaintop, upended Destiny 2's competitive landscape. It was devastating in fights and became a mainstay of many players' arsenals--and it was incredibly tough to earn, which made it feel like a significant power boost as well as a badge of honor to wield.
Two years later, Bungie "sunset" a number of older weapons

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Hands-On: A Faster, More Aggressive Soulslike
With Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, developer Team Ninja feels like it's riffing on a riff. The action game studio has already given its spin to the Soulslike genre with the Nioh games.

Crisis Core Reunion Is A More Faithful Remake Than You Might Expect--For Better And Worse
Final Fantasy VII is an enduring classic, and the success of Square Enix's 1997 RPG also led to several spin-offs. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII was the best of them, but if you didn't buy Sony's first handheld gaming console, the PlayStation Portable, you missed it. Some 15 years after its release, you'll get another chance to experience Crisis Core with its remade version, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, and it appears that it'll be very similar to the PSP original--only better.

Uncharted Director's New Marvel Game Stars Captain America And Black Panther
As part of the Marvel Games showcase today during D23, Disney officially announced the next game from Uncharted director Amy Hennig and Skydance Media with a cinematic trailer. Somewhat weirdly, though, the announcement left off one key piece of information: the game's title.
As rumored, the new Marvel will take place during World War II and will feature a team-up between Captain America and Black Panther as they take on the forces of Hydra. The cinematic trailer swept through a snowy 1940s Par

Bungie Wants Destiny 2: Lightfall To Feel Like Blade Runner Meets Independence Day
It was back during the showcase for the Beyond Light expansion in 2020 that Bungie first gave an indication of where its overall story for Destiny 2 would be headed over the next few years. It was the first time the developer mentioned The Witch Queen, the expansion to follow Beyond Light, and gave an even further look to the future with Lightfall. Though Bungie provided few details at the time, a black-and-white logo treatment and the name of the expansion were enough to conjure a lot of ideas
Destiny 2 King's Fall Raid Guide: How To Beat Every Encounter And Open Every Secret Chest
King's Fall was a huge moment in the original Destiny: the culmination of the game's biggest expansion, The Taken King, and the climax of the story of the Hive god Oryx's quest for revenge against the Guardians. King's Fall is back in Destiny 2, and while it's mostly the same as Destiny veterans will remember, it also has undergone a few changes along the way. These include the introduction of Champions and some extra hidden rewards you can claim if you know where to look.
