Neither of Destiny 2‘s earlier expansions have set the world aflame, however a wild-west fashion bounty hunt would possibly simply do the trick. Destiny 2: Forsaken is out later at this time, with a marketing campaign that has you looking down assorted barons who’ve been informed to go and trigger a ruckus by a baddie who’s busy fiddling about with the Light. Naughty, that.
There’s a launch trailer, however this older one with dev commentary offers a a lot better concept about what you’ll really rise up to.
My favorite half is the place they flip their goofy enthusiasm in direction of the brand new talents. With the brand new Titan Super, “you cast that thing and – ‘PWWWWWFFGH’ – you’ve got a huge hammer now, and you slam that thing down and it sends out this fire in front of you that then creates a fire tornado. We’ve got to take it to the next level, you know?” That subsequent stage additionally features a bow, a brand new weapon for each class which seems fairly snazzy.
The enlargement’s different primary attraction is Gambit. It’s a 4v4 PvP/PvE hybrid mode the place every crew races to kill sufficient AI grunts to open a portal into the opposite crew’s world, which sounds pleasingly creative.
IGN have performed by means of the primary 15 minutes of the marketing campaign, the place you quell a jail riot on The Reef. It seems mundane by Destiny requirements, nevertheless it’s good to see Cayde sticks round for a minimum of the primary mission.
That footage did remind me how vibrant Destiny is, simply as I’m about in addition up the Battlefield V beta. I’m wanting ahead to rolling about in World War 2’s muck, however I feel my coronary heart belongs to games the place you may somersault round wielding electrifying staves.
Destiny 2: Forsaken comes out at 6pm BST/ 10am PST, when it will likely be out there through Battle.net for £35/$40 in the event you simply need the enlargement, or £60/$70 in the event you’re additionally after the Annual Pass. You’ll want to purchase the bottom game in the event you haven’t already.
