It’s Destiny enlargement day! Destiny 2: Warmind, or extra precisely ‘Destiny 2: Zombies but cold and on Mars’, comes out at 7pm BST at present. It’s about heading to the pink planet to cease the Hive from destroying a giant outdated supercomputer, besides Mars is all icy and the pc’s damaged anyway. This is Destiny, so it’s additionally about accumulating shiny weapons which you should utilize to duff up different alien folks, this time within the type of a brand new wave survival mode.
It sounds dry, however *that is Destiny* – so the gunning will doubtless nonetheless go away me grinning even when it’s on the unimaginative aspect. A trailer and extra particulars await beneath.
Here’s Bungie’s record of what’s new. Fill your boots:
- All-new Raid Lair: Spire of Stars
- New themed weapons, armor and equipment to earn
- All-new ritual exercise: Escalation Protocol
- All-new relic weapon, The Valkyrie
- New Strikes
- New story missions and adventures
- New vacation spot polar ice caps of Mars
- Access to multiplayer arenas in Private Matches
…or, if the last expansion was something to go by, solely partially fill your boots then wander again to different video games once you run out of stuff to do after a number of hours. Curse of Osiris’s meagre providing hasn’t left me with the best of hopes for Warmind, although I’d be shocked if it’s fairly as content-lite after the backlash to the primary enlargement. The solely factor smaller than Osiris’s marketing campaign was its new open space, so hopefully these Martian ice caps will show a bit of extra expansive.
That new raid-lair will go reside on Friday at 6pm BST. Raid-lairs are designed to be a bit shorter than common raids, which does put one other arrow within the quiver of anybody able to shoot the enlargement down for not together with sufficient stuff – although I’ll maintain hearth for now. I’m a sucker for AI hijinks, and I would take this as an excuse to return to some extra relaxed shooty blasting after spending so many hours tackling intense Plunkbats.
Update 1.2 will land concurrently the enlargement, ushering in ‘season 3’. That means unique weapons have been twiddled with to make every really feel extra distinctive, unique masterworks at the moment are a factor, and the crucible has a brand new rating system. Speaking of the crucible, it’s value noting that this time spherical non-expansion consumers additionally get to play on the brand new multiplayer maps – although not in (additionally new) personal matches. The patch notes ought to seem on Bungie’s site later at present.
Destiny 2: Warmind is out there through Battle.net by itself for £16.79/$19.99/€19.99, or as a part of the pricier season move.
