The PS4-exclusive online game Let It Die has reached a milestone and is now giving away gifts to the community. New features are also on the horizon.
During the PlayStation Experience last month, Let It Die was unexpectedly released. This game is a “crazy” free-to-play title by Suda 51, where you engage in bloody and violent battles against the AI and characters created by other players.
In a press release, the publisher GungHo Online Entertainment America announces: Let It Die has been downloaded over a million times in North America and Europe. The launch was on December 3rd on PS4.
To celebrate, there are gifts
To celebrate this milestone with the community, the developers announced gifts: Players will receive free “Death Metals” from January 6 to 8. You just need to log in on those days to collect the in-game item in the rewards box.
What top features do you wish for?
Via Reddit, the publishers are reaching out to fans and asking them directly: What new features do you wish for in upcoming updates? Apparently, Let It Die is planning to take the community’s wishes into greater consideration in the future.
“Bug fixes” should not be mentioned, instead the publisher provides this list of possible examples:
Spotify compatibility
YouTube compatibility
Sexier frog Monsters
Additional aiming options/sensitivity control
More things to spend Death Metals on
Tacos
Cosmetic items
Pets
More music
More character model options
The developers are already working on some things, such as improved loading times, new weapons, additional sorting methods, new levels, new special enemies, and removing the level cap. So you don’t need to mention these things.
For the birthday patch of Diablo 3, there are some changes for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. We show you what changes on the consoles.
The 20th anniversary of the Diablo series will also be celebrated on PS4 and Xbox One. The new patch 2.4.3 brings a new event and many other changes to Diablo 3. In addition to class changes and new items, some bugs were also fixed. Additionally, there will be better hardware support for the PS4 Pro that allows playing in 4k.
Darkening of Tristram – Also on Consoles
Every year in January, there will be the Darkening of Tristram event where you can play a special dungeon. In this dungeon, there is a retro filter reminiscent of the graphic style from the first part of the Diablo series. In addition, the camera movements and the movement paths of your characters have been adjusted. You can now only move in certain directions in this dungeon. Even the sound and some graphic effects have been changed to give players a retro feeling. What the developers say about the “Darkening of Tristram” event and what their original plans were, they have explained in a video.
Xbox One and PS4 Patch Notes 2.4.3
Two important changes in this patch are the “Darkening of Tristram” event, which is only available in January, and the 4k support for the PS4 Pro. Additionally, there were changes and bug fixes for the different classes in Diablo III:
Barbarian
Overpowernow has 3 charges.
The cooldown remains at 12 seconds. However, it has a chance to be slightly reduced by critical hits.
Bug Fixes for Classes
Some bugs have been fixed with monk and wizard abilities.
New Item: Red Soul Shard
Rings periodically around control and unleashes a fire ring that deals 12,500% weapon damage to affected enemies.
After leveling up, your resource costs are removed and skill cooldowns are reduced by 75% for 30 seconds (requires gem level 25).
From now on, you can find the Armored Kill game mode at Battlefield 1. In this mode for Private Games, there are advantages for tank lovers.
In the various game modes of Battlefield 1, you can choose battles according to your preferred play style. In addition to the well-known Team Deathmatch, there are also more specialized modes like Carrier Pigeons, where you need to release a certain number of pigeons to win the battle. Under the “Private Games” tab, you can now select the Tank Kill mode, which is a special playstyle for the Conquest mode.
Armored Kill in Battlefield 1
Two special details characterize the Tank Kill mode in Battlefield 1.
No Snipers: This mode does not include snipers.
Tanks spawn faster: After a tank is destroyed, significantly less time passes before a new tank appears on the map.
Snipers have a bad reputation among many players in the Battlefield 1 community. A recent thread on Reddit reminds us that even scout players have other tasks besides camping on hills. You can help your team by playing objectives or revealing enemies with flares. Many scout players focus on the wrong targets and end up with few points at the bottom of the team rankings. To spare yourself the frustration with snipers, there are no snipers in this game mode.
The change in tank spawn times does not mean that more vehicles are present on the map at the same time. The total number of vehicles that are on the map at the same time remains the same. Only the spawn times are reduced.

If there is a successor to the Warcraft movie, then Duncan Jones knows quite well what should be included.
The movie “Warcraft: The Beginning” has polarised quite strongly. While it received rather poor reviews in its home country of America and fell short of expectations, it was a great success in China and relatively solid in Europe. It has been known for a while that director Duncan Jones is very eager to make a second part – and even a third, as it was supposed to be a trilogy.
However, Jones has spoken little about the specific ideas so far. Now he has revealed first details about what potential storylines could appear in upcoming films.
For the future of the Orcs, he has inevitably envisioned the storyline of Go’el. This character is – at least according to the official lore – later captured by humans and ends up as “Thrall” in a dungeon, where he learns a lot about humans. The Orcs would now begin to adapt to Azeroth and learn many things, such as how to forge steel armor.
Regarding the Alliance, Jones does not want to reveal too much, as “you never know” what the future holds. He mentioned that Khadgar opens the “Pandora’s box” (and probably plays too much with magic). But the story arc of Lothar also needs to be continued. Similarly, something could still be made of Varian, as he appears only briefly as a child.
It is also interesting what Jones has planned for Dalaran, the city of mages. In the original lore of the games, Dalaran was anchored to the ground at the foot of the Alterac Mountains – in the movie it is already flying. For the upcoming films, they would take the opposite approach and land Dalaran, leading to a significant rise in new magic users, as the Kirin Tor would share their teachings.
However, whether there will ever be a second or even third film of Warcraft depends solely on the production studio Legendary. They will eventually make a decision.
Long queues await you this weekend when Team Elysium launches the new Classic WoW server.
After Blizzard ensured that the popular private server “Nostalrius” was shut down last year, this project has since been revived with the help of Team Elysium. A newly revived server will soon be added. This weekend, a fresh Vanilla WoW server will be launched. The aim is to recreate the feeling of the release of World of Warcraft, where all players start at the same level.
New PvP Vanilla Server Starts Saturday
The new server from Team Elysium is set to launch on Saturday. On January 7 at 6:00 PM, the server is expected to open its gates and send the first players to Azeroth. Given the expected influx of players on this server, you should be prepared for long wait times. The restart of the Classic server “Nostalrius” already caused issues. The server launched by Team Elysium was targeted by DDoS attacks. There may be similar issues with this fresh server as well.
In this video, the team introduces the new realm:

On this new server, you will level up under Vanilla conditions without aids like teleportation or increased XP rewards. The Vanilla servers are meant for players who want to relive the old feeling of World of Warcraft. However, this also includes overcrowded starting areas and opponents that can be camped. Questing and leveling will not be easy, especially in the early days of the server. But that was part of the launch of World of Warcraft.
As always in reports about Nostalrius, a warning: These projects operate against Blizzard’s wishes. So you play at your own risk.
In Destiny we take a look at the best legendary primary weapons for the Crucible. Which auto rifles, pulse rifles, scout rifles, and hand cannons should you rely on?
The Guardian Mercules904 is known for his precise weapon reviews. He regularly publishes in-depth review articles on PlanetDestiny, where he highlights several weapons of a particular category.
Now he speaks up via Reddit with an overview that is particularly interesting for fans of the Crucible: He presents three weapons from each primary weapon class that he considers the best guns in PvP. We show you his recommendations and provide perk tips for each weapon. This way, you’re well-equipped in the “Guardian versus Guardian” battle.
Note beforehand: The “Times to Kill” refer to Guardians with 200 health points.
SUROS PDX-45 – Pulse Rifle
Let’s start directly with a pulse rifle that not everyone might have noticed: The PDX-45 from SUROS. It is a “Pulse Rifle” with low impact and increased fire rate. The stability is very high, as is the reload speed. The aim assist is great at 70. However, the range is low. Here are the stats:
You obtain the SUROS PDX-45 through the gunsmith Banshee-44. It is one of the best all-around primary weapons in Destiny. Guardians waited for months for the gunsmith to bring a “God Roll.”
For the God Roll, you want an extremely stable pulse rifle: Perfect Balance is a must. Balance Modulation is also excellent. Additionally, the perks Enhanced Barrel, Smallbore, and High-Caliber Rounds are interesting.
SUROS PDX-45 can kill with 8 critical hits (2.66 bursts are required for that). A critical hit deals 25 damage, a body hit 17. The time-to-kill is 0.87 seconds.
Hi-Rez Studios has released a new trailer for Paladins : Be More Than a Hero.

Set to rocking tunes, many Paladins heroes can be seen using their abilities and making witty remarks. The trailer ends with the words:
Be More Than a Hero, Be a Champion! In German: Sei mehr als nur ein Held, sei ein Champion!

The president of Pokémon Company, Tsunekazu Ishihara, explains why Pokémon GO became such a huge hit and names four reasons.
Pokémon GO, does anyone still play that? I frequently read this comment under our posts about Pokémon GO lately. Yes, Pokémon GO is still being played and the interest among young and old is far from extinguished. Pokémon GO had a spectacular launch and quickly became the biggest MMO of all time.
However, after the release, Niantic’s mobile game also experienced low points and became quite unpopular among players. This was mainly due to the fact that it took ages for Niantic to address the game’s issues and no longer kept the community in the dark. The search functions for Pokémon, which never really worked properly, were particularly problematic.
The president of Pokémon GO, Tsunekazu Ishihara
Despite the frustration that arose among some players and certainly led them to stop playing Pokémon GO, the game remained a phenomenon and is still widely popular. Just recently, Pokémon GO made it back to number 1 in the Android Store. But what exactly makes Pokémon GO so successful? The president of Pokémon GO, Tsunekazu Ishihara, provides answers.
For these reasons, Pokémon GO sparked the Pokédemy
Tsunekazu Ishihara is the president of Pokémon GO and produced the mobile game. He recently commented on what he believes makes the game a megahit. For him, there are four reasons that caused the game to take off.
Pokémon is a cross-generational success
Pokémon saw the light of day in 1996 and boomed from 1998 to 2000. The parents who gifted the first Pokémon games back then still have warm memories of their little ones sitting happily under the Christmas tree, choosing their first starter Pokémon with excited red cheeks. Today, at 50 to 60 years old, they themselves play Pokémon on their phones.

The little ones are now adults and associate these happy memories with themselves sitting under the Christmas tree. They see their childhood friends when they pick up Pokémon GO. This Pokémon boom 18 years ago laid the foundations for the cross-generational success of Pokémon GO.
Social media played a key role
Shortly after the release of Pokémon GO, photos and reports about it suddenly appeared everywhere on social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Social media played a clear key role in the success of Pokémon GO and Pokémon overtook the internet.
Photo source: Tumblr, user: Radgranny
According to Ishihara, it took Pokémon a whole two years to become a global success 18 years ago. But Pokémon GO developed into a phenomenon globally within a week and spread like a real Pokédemy.
Niantic is a unicorn and brings a global mentality
The term unicorn is a relatively new term in business and refers to startups that have an estimated value of one billion dollars. Niantic, the co-developer of Pokémon GO, is one such unicorn. Ishihara believes that these unicorns represent a global mentality and philosophy.
Although the number of players was 50 times larger than the developers had anticipated, the developers at Niantic worked day and night to keep the servers running as smoothly as possible. Ishihara was fascinated by Niantic’s strong will to make it work. It was like repairing the engines of an airplane that is already in the sky.
Information technology has evolved
The developments in recent years regarding information technologies have greatly contributed to the success of Pokémon GO. Especially through the widespread adoption of smartphones, location-based services are increasing continuously. These are mobile services that provide end users with location-dependent data or services.
A simple example would be an app that shows nearby restaurants. The fact that data transmission and bandwidth have significantly improved and developed in recent years made it possible to develop Pokémon GO.
Ishihara admitted that Pokémon GO was a risky venture. Because even if the reasons mentioned above all contributed to its success, it is even difficult for such an experienced Pokémon architect to create the magic formula for megahits today. In the case of Pokémon GO, it worked.
In Black Desert we showcase a tour through Kamasilve, the new zone.
The Asia-focused YouTuber Steparu has embarked on a tour to Kamasilve. The new zone has been live for a few weeks in the South Korean version of Black Desert.
Steparu ventures into the “Naban Grasslands”, a particularly impressive area, as he says. But it’s also a dangerous landscape. Explorers should watch out for the monsters that could devour adventures in one bite. Chocobo-like creatures can also be admired in the region.
When Kamasilve will come to Europe is still uncertain. The Western version of Black Desert is lagging behind the South Korean original version by several patches.
The best news about Black Desert has been summarized here:
Blizzard addresses the biggest annoyance of Overwatch: Roadhog’s hook is being changed after much pleading.
Few problems in Overwatch irritate players as much as Roadhog’s hook. While it generally works as intended, the 5% of situations where something strange happens remain memorable.
This daring little guy often manages to pull people “around corners” or even hit with the hook, despite not being able to see the enemy. Not to mention the rare cases where the hook has an abnormal range and pulls a teleporting Sombra across the entire map.
In the official forum, Jeff Kaplan has addressed the increasing complaints and announced that a new patch will soon be tested on the PTR – possibly later this week.
Hooked out – the hook is finally being adjusted.
The biggest innovation will be the “Line of Sight” check being added to the hook. In short, this means: If Roadhog cannot see the victim, then the hook should not be able to hit. But there is also another check. Once the hook has found its target, another verification occurs: Is the hook still in line of sight with Roadhog? If yes, the target is pulled in. If no, the hook breaks and the victim is freed.
However, these changes also lead to some improvements for Roadhog, as the victim of the hook should now always land directly in front of him and no longer slightly offset to the left or right – which was particularly common with Lúcio. There, the victim is then immediately met by the scattergun.
How exactly these changes will affect gameplay will be tested on the PTR in the coming weeks. Also note that these changes are not final and may change before release.
With the new Asia MMO Revelation Online, the second Closed Beta has ended. Here are the plans for the future.
On January 3rd, the CBT2 for Revelation Online has concluded. The team is generally satisfied with how the beta went. Server stability was “satisfactory”, some issues arose, but the feedback was valuable, they say.
Now they want to work on the reported bugs and discuss and prepare the next steps.
For the “next phase”, the team promises that
all quests and dialogues will be available in English
the level cap will significantly increase

In Heroes of the Storm, Zul’jin steps onto the stage. Blizzard introduces the new hero in a video spotlight.
Today, the newest hero arrives in Blizzard’s “We don’t call it a MOBA, but okay, it is one” Heroes of the Storm. Zul’jin seeks revenge after being killed by every average WoW player about 8000 times in various incarnations.
Here is the video which Blizzard gives the troll chief a worthy appearance:

The Fight Guild brings a lot of Overwatch to World of Warcraft.
Blizzard is known for constantly including references to other games in their titles. Especially World of Warcraft is overflowing with little hints. This ranges from the 3 “Lost Vikings” in Uldaman to “Wirrets drittes Bein” (Diablo) or the companion for shamans Reghar, who is referred to as Hero of the Storm in English.
With Patch 7.1.5 for World of Warcraft, Blizzard continues this tradition and adds some references to the hero shooter Overwatch in WoW. This mainly happens through the Fight Guild, the “Fight Club” of Azeroth. This is revived with the patch and gets a complete overhaul. However, this also means that players must earn access again – for example, from emissary chests, dungeon bosses, or some elite Vrykul.
The actual references to Overwatch are the individual boss fights that need to be overcome.
A group of boss enemies is called “Ogrewatch” – and for those who need more, they can enjoy the whole names of the individual foes.
Hudson – A Hozen with a jump module, Tesla cannon, and a shield barrier (Winston).
Dupree – A human cowboy with a revolver and the “High Noon” ability (McCree).
Stuffshrew – A goblin with a penchant for explosions and maniacal laughter (Junkrat).
Four more characters have already been extracted from the game data and will likely appear randomly in the fights:
Blinker (Tracer), Boarguy (Roadhog), Render (Reaper), and Steingardt (Reinhardt).
Anyone who wants to give the various characters a pounding should keep an eye out for an invitation to the Fight Guild after the release of Patch 7.1.5.
In the fantasy MMORPG Guild Wars 2, a player has reached the gold cap. And it was lower than he thought.
Numerix had big goals. He wanted to amass 1 million gold in Guild Wars 2. But the journey to Scrooge McDuck-like wealth ended much earlier.
At 200,000 gold, it was already over, as he reported on reddit. So that is the gold cap of Guild Wars 2. As with many other games, nothing significant happens once the target is reached – no achievement, no title, no rain of gold falls on the player.
The first comment on reddit from a Nigerian prince promising Numerix to loosen the gold cap if he could just provide 1000 gold as compensation. And if you can no longer trust Nigerian princes – who can you trust?
By the way, it was also impossible in WoW for a long time to reach one million gold on a character. At 999,999 it was over, as I remember from my time as an auction house junkie. However, the cap is now higher:
In The Division, the servers are being maintained today, on January 5th. When can we play again?
No maintenance work took place last week. Just before Christmas, a large part of Massive went on winter vacation. For the past few days, the developers have been gradually returning, allowing for the regular maintenance to take place today – even if it is only a short one.
The servers on PS4, Xbox One, and PC will be shut down at 9:30 AM. The estimated downtime is one hour. You should be able to play again around 10:30 AM.
A changelog is not provided. So today, we should not expect any bug fixes, or new features.
If you are still enjoying your well-deserved winter vacation and are now itching to play again: With our Division guide collection, you can pass the time.

In FIFA 17, the Team of the Year (TOTY) is coming in Ultimate Team mode. When will it be released, which players are nominated, and what cards are there?
Update 13.1.: All 11 TOTY players are now available in the packs. Until Monday, January 16, at 7 PM.
Since FUT 12, there has been a Team of the Year every year in the “Ultimate Team” mode of the FIFA series. Blue player cards with outstanding stats come into play. Last year, for example, a special card of Lionel Messi with a rating of 99 was released.
What is the Team of the Year in FUT 17?
The eleven players of the Team of the Year are voted by FIFPro and are announced every January in Zurich. The big awards in world football are presented there annually.
This world’s eleven includes professional players who performed the best in 2016. EA Sports creates the TOTY in FUT 17, which is marked with blue player cards. These special cards are the best cards in the game and thus highly sought after.
The TOTY cards from FUT 12 to FUT 16
In short: The TOTY in FUT 17 consists of the best players of 2016, recognized with the best player cards. It consists of one goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfield players, and three forwards.
When is the TOTY released? – Release and time
The TOTY will be released on January 9 in Zurich as part of the show “The Best FIFA Football Awards”. The time should be around 6:35 PM.
The entire TOTY will not be immediately available in packs. From January 9, 7 PM, the strikers will be in the packs, the midfield players should be available from January 11, 7 PM, and the defenders and the goalkeeper from January 12, 7 PM. The complete TOTY should be available from January 13, 7 PM.
Which players are in the Team of the Year in FUT 17?
The TOTY special cards are available in the packs for one week. If you want a chance, you must be able to include “Rare Gold Players” in the set.
The chance of getting a TOTY card this week is the same as the chance of getting the normal card of the corresponding player in another week. This also means that you will not find any standard cards of the TOTY players in the packs during TOTY week.
The best time to open packs is during the days when the complete TOTY is available in packs.
You can also purchase the TOTY cards on the transfer market from other players. However, they will cost many coins.
What influence does the TOTY have on the transfer market in FUT 17? – Prices and market crash
As the overall rating of the players on the TOTY cards will rise by several points, these cards are very desirable. They are usually among the most expensive cards in FUT.
This leads to countless packs being opened that week, flooding the market, causing the biggest market crash of the year. The prices of other players drop drastically. Many fans sell their players in advance to have many coins for the packs during the TOTY week.
So if you want to make cheap bargains on the transfer market, next week is the ideal time for that.
However, accurate predictions for transfer market fluctuations are impossible. Since FIFA 17, there are also Squad-Building Challenges, which can temporarily have a strong influence on the transfer market.
How can I prepare for the Team of the Year?
The best preparation is probably to save up a supply of coins now, to be able to open some packs during the TOTY week. It is also possible to purchase packs using real money, but everyone must decide for themselves whether they want to invest money.
Otherwise, keep a close eye on the events during TOTY week. The times mentioned above may still change. Stay alert.
Survival and sandbox are two themes that are currently extremely popular among MMO developers. With New Dawn, another survival MMO is on the horizon.
The Italian developers have now released first gameplay footage of their survival game. Thanks to Unreal Engine 4, it looks quite good, but its activities strongly resemble Conan Exiles and ARK.
You are indigenous people of an island in the Caribbean when pirates land and your life descends into chaos. First, you need to build a village, for which you will scour the island for resources. You will craft tools and weapons, build tents and huts, and see to your food and clothing needs.
Slavery seems to be coming back in style
You will also encounter other players and can either ally with them to defend yourselves against the pirates or fight against each other. Trading, hunting, crafting, trapping, and livestock raising will make your life easier on the 49 km² large island.
It is even possible to capture pirates, break their will, and make them your slaves. The slaves then protect your village during your absence. Sounds a lot like Conan Exiles, right? You’re not far off.
Will you survive?
The MMO aims to offer you many freedoms, but also presents a lot of dangers. These come from the pirates, wild animals, and other players. Therefore, your top priority is: Survive.
Currently, it is not yet known when New Dawn will be released. It is also unclear which platforms will be supported. However, the Kickstarter campaign to secure the development of the survival online game will start on January 16.
https://youtu.be/EIyenC9r-Cg
Andreas thinks:
As good as New Dawn looks, does the world really need another survival sandbox online game? I don’t want to sound negative, but apart from the scenario, New Dawn sounds just like Conan Exiles. But I guess it’s like everywhere: Competition stimulates business. Every game will want to assert itself in its own way with the players, which motivates the developers to give their best. Players can only benefit from this and ultimately choose the game that is the most fun.
In WoW, the raid party will soon continue. The new raid “The Nighthold” has specific release dates.
While most players of World of Warcraft are currently collecting their last boss kills in the heroic difficulty levels of the Trial of Valor and the Emerald Nightmare, Blizzard is already rolling out the next raid. The Nighthold is the next stop and the first “tier raid” of Legion.
The Nighthold serves as the centerpiece of the elven city of Suramar and is, unlike the Nightmare, a rather “beautiful” instance. Among the opponents are the closest advisors of Grand Magistrix Elisande, as well as demons like Krosus (from the Broken Shore) and the corrupted Gul’dan, who waits at the very end. According to the developers’ vision, the goal was to portray Suramar in all its glory, as a jewel of night elf high culture. This and the magic of the Nightwell were meant to form the core of one of the most beautiful raid dungeons that have existed in WoW for a long time – most players have had enough of the “red” of the Emerald Nightmare for a while.
The opening dates of the Nighthold
As is usual in World of Warcraft, the different difficulty levels of the Nighthold will open at different times. This gives the “pro raiders” a week’s head start to check out the normal and heroic difficulty levels before heading into the mythic mode.
January 18: Normal and heroic difficulty
January 25: Mythic difficulty and LFR Wing 1
February 8: LFR Wing 2
February 22: LFR Wing 3
March 8: LFR Wing 4
In the meantime, the story surrounding Suramar has also concluded. Over the course of several weeks, the Suramar campaign was gradually supplemented with new quests. Coinciding with the raid’s launch,
A complete preview of the Nighthold can be found in our sources.
We are in the year 2017 – the year a full Destiny sequel will be released. So far, little is known about it; vague statements from Activision and wild rumors from anonymous sources have trickled in over the past months. Bungie itself remains tight-lipped.
When will Destiny 2 be released? – Release
Update: According to a leak, the release is on September 8.
There is no specific release date yet, but Activision’s CEO Eric Hirshberg confirmed in 2016 that the sequel will be released in 2017.
In the conference call in February 2017, Activision announced that Destiny 2 will be released in 2017 as a “full sequel”. However, no specific quarter is mentioned. Development is going great. Plans for game content afterwards are already in place.
Discarded concept art for Destiny 2
Destiny 2 aims to appeal to the passionate Guardians still playing Destiny, but also create incentives to attract new fans and bring back old Guardians.
Looking at the Destiny releases of the past, September is the month for major releases. While the sequel may create a new “schedule”, we should currently keep September in mind as the release month.
It is unlikely that Destiny 2 will be released any earlier. Bungie and Activision will surely want to use the large stages of E3 and Gamescom to promote the large-scale sequel and to release spectacular trailers. Advertising campaigns will start months in advance, and Bungie will likely take its time releasing information in small doses. Therefore, it will not happen that Destiny 2 is released in spring 2017. That would be a huge surprise.
On which platforms will Destiny 2 be played? PS4, Xbox One, and PC?
With “The Rise of Iron Lords,” the last-gen consoles PS3 and Xbox 360 were left behind. At that time, Bungie stated that all future content would only be released on current-gen consoles, namely PS4 and Xbox One. Therefore, it is certain that Destiny 2 will also neglect the old consoles.
Moreover, rumors and hints are intensifying that Destiny 2 will also be released on PC. Console exclusivity is expected to be lifted. A source confirming PC support mentioned in late September that the Vicarious Visions studio would assist Bungie’s team for Destiny 2. This rumor has since been confirmed. It is quite possible that the PC rumor is also true.
What exactly is Destiny 2?
Update: Now we know it will be a “full sequel”.
A question arises: Will Destiny 2 be a large expansion or a standalone game? Everything indicates that Destiny 2 will be its own, complete game. So, it won’t just add a few new story missions, strikes, and maybe even a raid, but the entire player experience will be new.
Statements have been made that Destiny 2 should feel like a standalone sequel, even if that means leaving behind planets, characters, and activities. The expansion “The Taken King” was a reboot of Destiny meant to fix the small things. Destiny 2, on the other hand, will overhaul the big things.
Character transfer in Destiny 2
For Destiny 2, you will have to leave all your items from Destiny 1 behind. There will be a hard reset. This way, the developers want to create the best possible game without being burdened by the past. However, the appearance of your Guardians will be retained.
Activision mentioned that Destiny 2 will feature memorable and relatable characters, that there will be a cinematic storyline, and that it will be suitable for both casual players and core gamers.
Specific content is still unknown, but there have already been talks of “play-in destinations.” This means that the planets should feel more alive, that they are populated, and that players can rush from one outpost to another. The quest system is supposed to become more interesting. Even cities are conceivable.
The US site Kotaku reported in late 2015 from anonymous sources that Destiny 2 will partly take place on Mars. A raid is planned there – perhaps the Cabal will play a larger role than before. The “Highmoon Studio” is reportedly working on this. The “European Dead Zone” on Earth is also mentioned as a possible content location. The fact that the Cabal are on the way is also hinted at by a “Mega Bloks” leak.
