News Destiny's Challenge of the Elders Won't Be the Same Starting Next Week

Weirdness Okay, We Admit This Destiny Exotic Weapons Rap Is Way Better than Expected
Rhymes of the exotic kind
We feel the need to apologise to YouTube user Duba. When we saw that our buddies over at Eurogamer had published a story on a Destiny rap video, we feared the absolute worst, but as it turns out, this is the perfect material for one of our rather uncommon Weirdness articles.

Tales from the Grimoire
It comes as no real surprise, but Destiny's upcoming expansion is probably going to launch this September. Bungie's already noted that the title's next add-on will be landing later this year, but the developer seems to have dropped a not-so-subtle release date hint.

News Is Destiny About to Come Back with a Bang?
April's update sounds promising
Let's face it: it's always been a rocky road for Destiny players. Every time that the game introduces big changes, through an expansion or otherwise, it usually isn't long before hardcore Guardians have exhausted the new content, and are once again hungry for more. It's no secret that Bungie's shooter has slipped out...

Did you decide to take part in Destiny's Valentine's Day-themed event over the weekend?

It's been a rough couple of months for Destiny - developer Bungie's biggest ever project.

News Activision Denies Ammo Microtransactions in Destiny
Welcome to the circus
Well that was a pretty short-lived rumour. As we reported earlier today, unnamed sources had apparently told VG247 that more microtransactions were coming to Destiny. In this case, you'd soon be able to buy ammo synthesis packs with real money. Needless to say, a lot of Guardians weren't too happy to hear about this potential...

Rumour Destiny 2 Was Set to Release This Year, But Has Been Delayed
Worrying times for Bungie's shooter, apparently
There's been speculation for a few months now regarding Destiny's future.

News Destiny's Next Big Event Doesn't Sound All That Exciting
Hope you like PvP
Bungie seems committed to smaller, timed events that are designed to keep players coming back to Destiny, but we're still not convinced that the structure is as satisfying as it arguably needs to be. The shooter's next event will coincide with Valentine's Day, so let's hope that you're not, you know, actually socialising with your...

News Watch as a Single Destiny Player Dominates Trials of Osiris Without Dying
3 on 1? No problem
Trials of Osiris is essentially Destiny's most intense, hardcore player-versus-player mode. It pits two teams of three against each other in a battle to the death, and once a combatant is downed, they can only be revived by their allies. In other words, there isn't much room for error. Enter Ramblinnn, an immensely skilled...
