We have the early scoop on where to find the vendor Xur and what exotic armor and weapons he has available to Destiny players for the weekend of August 26th. With only a few weeks left until the launch of Rise of Iron, excitement among Destiny fans has become palpable. It seems like every few days a new piece of information comes out to tease fans just that much more, like the reveal that Trials of Osiris will be going on break early next month, before returning on the 30th....

There’s no doubt that Guardians are incredibly excited that Destiny 2’s Forsaken DLC will launch in about two months from now, and it seems as if Bungie is preparing for the expansion’s big promotional push before it releases in September. With this being the case, the video game developer has decided to give Game Informer exclusive coverage of what’s to come, and the gaming outlet’s first clip for its reportage features what potentially could be a new Escalation Protocol mode in the forthcoming add-on....

Destiny 2 is picking up speed this week as it gets closer and closer to the release of Beyond Light. Along with some good loot from Zur on November 6, players this week can nab themselves some beautiful, Egyptian-themed Osiris armor for completing some Trials of Osiris. Trial of Osiris Destiny 2 is no stranger to Osiris’ trials; they have been a big part of the game all year. Although the Trials have had their share of troubles this year, like a game-breaking Lighthouse bug that shut the Trials of Osiris down back in June....

Warmind, Destiny 2’s newest expansion, is out now, and while the campaign of the DLC is short, players are finding a lot more things to chase and do than in the previous Curse of Osiris expansion. One of those pursuits is collecting Lost Memory Fragments on the new public space of Mars’ Hellas Basin. Destiny 2 players have offered their help on the Destiny subreddit, chronicling where each one of those Lost Memory Fragments can be found....

Following the release of the Beyond Light expansion on November 10, the next major piece finally arrived to Destiny 2 this past week. Season of the Hunt finally got under way and gave fans a significant portion of story to check out with Osiris, The Spider, and the return of Uldren Sov who now goes by the name Crow, unaware of who he was or the chaos he caused during the events of Forsaken....

Destiny 2’s Iron Banner is getting some new twists in Season 6 thanks to some new consumable items meant for both hardcore and casual players. The first Iron Banner where these buff and debuff items will be available starts on March 26th. Destiny 2 players will find the Iron Burden consumable at Lord Saladin for a cost of 5 Iron Banner tokens. The Iron Burden applies a debuff that will lower a player’s level by 100 Power in the playlist, forcing players to put “more focus on skill, strategy, and gunplay” to compete....

As spooky season arrives for Halloween, so too does Destiny 2’s iteration of the Festival of the Lost. Every year, Destiny features its own version of a Halloween limited-time event that involves plenty of sugar, candy, aliens, and guardians. For the most part, Festival of the Lost has been a yearly celebration, dating as far back as the first game in 2015. Now in 2020, one of Destiny’s biggest holiday events returns with just as much pomp and circumstance, even in the face of grave danger from the upcoming revelations in Beyond Light....

Destiny 2 received its second planned game update for December, which added Masterwork weapons, the ability to buy gear directly from vendors, and more. The game’s developer, Bungie, is making ongoing changes to improve Destiny 2 in response to fan feedback about the game. As a part of Bungie’s continued work in improving Destiny 2, the developer has told fans that it is looking to improve the new Heroic Strike playlist in a number of ways....

While the Destiny franchise has its fair share of different enemies for players to fight, the insect-like Hive have been the major focus for Destiny 2 recently. Xivu Arath, the sister of Oryx, and The Taken King himself have been a thorn in players’ sides for a while. Meanwhile, the Hive’s Witch Queen has yet to fully reveal herself in-game as well. Savathun has seemingly been orchestrating events behind the scenes; she’s responsible for the repetitive curse afflicting the Dreaming City, controlling the Taken, and even conspiring against the Darkness....

Netflix’s Castlevania came out of nowhere and captured the attention of franchise fans who still can’t believe that one of the few respectable video game adaptations so happens to be based on a series that hasn’t gotten a lot of love recently. While Castlevania features some notable diversions from the established mythology of the games – many of which were implemented in the name of fleshing out Castlevania III‘s thin story – that doesn’t mean that the show doesn’t pay homage to its source material....

If you have yet to hear anything about Gotham City Impostors you would not be alone. Set loosely within the Batman univers – but not the Rocksteady or Nolan-verses – this multiplayer shooter tries a little something different with the Dark Knight, and it’s worth taking a look at. A new trailer for Gotham City Impostors has been released that showcases some of the gadgets, gizmos, and costumes that your faux Batman or Joker will use to represent their unique persona in this multiplayer first person shooter....

Supermassive Games has released its first development diary video in the making of The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope. We’re getting close to the summer release of the second game in The Dark Pictures Anthology from Supermassive Games, and that means it’s teaser time. The latest dev diary gives us all the background info we could ever hope for without giving away too much of the game’s terrifying plot, so feel free to dive right in....

Christopher Nolan’s Tenet will be released on HBO Max this May. This comes after Nolan has already criticized HBO Max for being what he considers “the worst streaming service.” Tenet was written and directed by Nolan and starred John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki. The film followed an unnamed CIA operative (Washington) who joins a secret government organization that uses time inversion to save the world. Tenet received fairly positive reviews and earned Oscar nominations for Best Visual Effects and Production Design....

PC gaming may be extremely popular now, but a new report from Jon Peddie Research (JPR) suggests that TV-based gaming could kill or majorly damage the PC gaming industry. JPR says that many PC gamers could quit PCs for services such as Google Stadia and Apple Arcade. In its new report, JPR estimates that 20 million PC gamers could “defect” to TV gaming platforms between 2019 and 2022. Most of the people moving from PC gaming to TV gaming platforms (consoles as well as TV-compatible streaming services) will be those on low-end gaming PCs....

Crackdown 3 is one of the Xbox One’s big upcoming flagship titles. It’s a game many fans of the original didn’t think would happen after the tepid response and sales of Crackdown 2. But Microsoft Studios surprised everyone at E3 2014 by announcing that a third game was in development. It’s been a long time since that announcement. Several delays later, we’re still waiting to hear about a solid release date for this action-adventure game that boasts fully destructible environments and tons of explosions....

The announcement of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time coming later this year from Toys for Bob, the same developers who handled the N Sane Trilogy remakes, was exciting news for long-time fans of the 3D-platforming mascot. Some were concerned when Microsoft revealed the new title will have in-game purchases, but earlier today the developer hoped to alleviate that anxiety by confirming there are no microtransactions in Crash Bandicoot 4....

Since CS:GO hit the market in 2012, it has never been able to break through Dota 2’s all time concurrent player record. That is, until now. On Friday, CS:GO hit 1.3 million concurrent players, its highest of all time, narrowly edging out Dota 2’s previous record of just under 1.3 million. Thanks to a little help from the world-wide quarantine, gaming numbers have been shattering records recently, and CS:GO’s rise in concurrent players is no different....

There is quite a bit going on this week in the world of CS:GO. Starting with a bit of bad news, industry insider Tyler McVicker, most well known for his excellent work in the Valve News Network series of insights and leaks, has revealed new information about the long-standing plan to port CS:GO to the Source 2 engine. According to McVicker, this plan has been shelved indefinitely. This is certainly unfortunate to hear, especially since a new engine would have made CS:GO look far more contemporary and in line with other tactical shooters....

The Ballad of Buck Ravers is a side mission in Cyberpunk 2077’s second act, and it sends players to talk to a variety of characters.
