Summer, a particularly popular time of the year in slasher movies, is nearly upon us. Appropriately, it also marks the anniversary of survival/slasher title Dead by Daylight. As promised by the year 3 content roadmap, a new killer will be added each season, starting with the game’s third anniversary this summer. In anticipation of the first new killer of the year, a teaser trailer was just released that provides a glimpse as to who or what this new menace may be....

No release date has been set for volume 2 as of yet....

Teased back in Halo 3: ODST, Destiny has become one of the most successful FPS titles of all time. Combining the amazing gunplay of Halo with more MMO elements, Destiny has carved a unique niche in the industry that no other game can match. With a decade of development behind it, the game has its fair share of stories and community inside jokes to tell. Thankfully, Bungie has included many Easter eggs and nods in their own game for perceptive fans to find....

So far in Destiny 2, the Bungie Sandbox Team has held the philosophy that nerfs should not be the first plan of action to balance the game. However, with the introduction of the Gambit game mode, one exotic has reigned supreme: Sleeper Simulant. It seems that fan frustration has made its way to Bungie, as they are looking into a nerf for Sleeper Simulant in Gambit to make it less powerful in the PvEvP game mode....

This week kicked off the new Season of Arrivals in Destiny 2, and with it comes a new currency called Twisted Energy. Twisted Energy is key to the gameplay loop and loot grind for Season of Arrivals so players will want to become very familiar with what it is, what it does, and how to farm it. In many ways, Season of Arrivals and its gameplay loop are very similar to last season with its Seraph Towers, earning various currencies for upgrading Rasputin with the various bunkers, and using even more currency to unlock mods, perks, benefits, and have more control over loot drops....

In a daring move, Bungie has released a three-year roadmap for Destiny 2, confirming that the game will not only be making its way to next-generation consoles but that players can expect a long and bright future as it finally realizes its vision to becomes one ever-evolving world. While the threat of the Darkness in Season of Arrivals or Savathun in The Witch Queen in 2021 are both very exciting, perhaps the most interesting release on the roadmap is the 2022 expansion, Lightfall, featuring an ominous logo devoid of color and the mysterious Pyramid Ships front and center....

The Dawning has once again returned to Destiny 2, and we’ve got the lowdown on how to make the absolute most cookies you possibly can. It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The time of year where Guardians come together and murder all sorts of monsters and robots in the hopes that they’ll drop precious ingredients to use in making delectable cookies and treats which they give to NPC’s in return for presents....

It’s time to break out those Scout Rifles again, Guardians. Bungie has announced that its previous nerf of the weapon type at the start of Destiny 2: Forsaken isn’t working out, and has decided to increase Scout Rifle damage to make it viable again in PvE. When Forsaken launched, Scout Rifles received a nerf that left Guardians scratching their heads, especially since they were a favorite amongst players. This became a bigger issue when Explosive Rounds also negatively impacted damage, though that was addressed in a recent hotfix....

[UPDATE: Bungie says it is investigating the issue but has no solution at the moment.] Destiny 2 players are reporting issues with the game’s Crucible and Gambit ranking systems where instead of granting progress for wins (or losses), matches are either rewarding nothing or deducting in the case of the Competitive playlist. Bungie has yet to acknowledge the issue, which started occurring this weekend and has been widely reported on Destiny 2 forums and subreddits....

By and large, the rollout of Beyond Light has been fairly smooth. There’s a list of known bugs on the Bungie help forums, but none of them seem to be terrible enough to be game-breaking. But this recently discovered glitch might be big enough to at least delay the implementation of the next World’s First Raid. The glitch was discovered yesterday by Can Redeem, a high-level team that has won many a World’s First raid....

After confirming that the Tower from Destiny is destroyed at the beginning of Destiny 2, Bungie revealed a new social space for the sequel dubbed the Farm. Now, gamers can get a glimpse at the upcoming Destiny 2 social space in a new video. The video comes courtesy of IGN, and takes Destiny fans on a tour of the Farm in Destiny 2. During the tour, Bungie’s Ryan Ebenger talks through some of the features gamers can expect from the Destiny 2 social space....

September is going to be a huge month for Destiny 2. Not only is the Forsaken expansion set to release for the game on September 4, but the game’s player base stands a chance of growing quite dramatically as Destiny 2 is one of the free PS4 games for PlayStation Plus subscribers in September 2018. Destiny 2 is easily one of the biggest additions to the PlayStation Plus free games lineup....

Update: Bungie has issued a statement on the Destiny 2 shader controversy. In Destiny 2, Bungie brings back shaders for weapons and armor. Shaders are entirely cosmetic modifications that allow players to customize their character further and make them look a bit more visually appealing. But while most welcomed the return of the feature, many are now raising hell about the way Bungie has included them in the new game....

Now that we’re a few weeks into Season of the Chosen, Guardians are starting to fill out their Hammer of Proving perks and we’re all coming to a discovery: the new Umbral Engram system isn’t nearly as good as the old one. Sure, we’re still getting plenty of Umbral Engrams (or at least, I certainly am), but we were able to start focusing those Engrams for our desired weapons/armor by this point in Season of Arrivals....

In what could be a response to fan complaints, a pair of popular exotic emotes have appeared in Destiny 2’s Eververse store after the weekly reset. Both the Salty and Spicy Ramen emotes are now available for purchase in the rotating inventory of Tess Everis, but neither was there at the time of the weekly reset. Fans noticed the change and posted it to the Destiny subreddit, calling it the first positive action developer Bungie has taken based on the growing negative feedback about Destiny 2....

The day that many Destiny 2 fans have been waiting for is finally here.

Of course, with a new expansion, players also have a wealth of new loot to find as well. Although the final DLC livestream was canceled, Bungie did put out a short trailer that gave players a brief look at some of the new gear, weapons, and exotic emotes available in the expansion....

Those who pre-ordered Destiny 2 on PlayStation 4 got early access to the Destiny 2 beta today and a chance to play the Homecoming story mission, Inverted Spire strike, and PvP. While playing the PvE content of the beta, players started raising concerns that the amount of Power ammo feels pretty scarce. One of those concerned players took to Twitter and drew a response from Destiny 2 game director Luke Smith, who said the drop rates for Power ammo will improve in the final game....

Toy manufacturer Mega Bloks announces a partnership with the developers of Destiny to sell figures based on assets from the popular first-person shooter. Later this year, thanks to Mega Bloks, Destiny fans will be able to purchase new physical construction sets based on Bungie’s game, including miniature Guardian figurines, Sparrow kits, and the Walker tanks of the Fallen enemies. While no concrete date for availability has been announced for the toys as of yet, all of the materials are going to be sold in individual packs sometime in the Fall, which ought to coincide nicely with the release date of the “large new” expansion for 2016....

Capcom has announced that it will launch the Resident Evil Portal website in 2021, which will combine the features of the existing Resident Evil sites, as well as accomodating the new games in the series that are coming in the future.

E3 has been cancelled, and the event’s representatives have confirmed that there won’t be a digital replacement. But it seems Capcom has something planned for June 10 that relates to its Resident Evil series. According to a notification that was recently sent out to Resident Evil Ambassadors, some kind of an announcement is planned for next month. As a result of that, one user posted a screenshot of the notification that states ““A Resident Evil announcement will happen on June 10th, 2020....
