Bungie dropped a ton of information in their This Week At Bungie post, and it is just enough to fill a book. It is summarizing a gameplay reveal of the new extraction shooter Marathon-the newest stuff for Destiny 2-then some red-hot news relating to the Trials of Osiris. Strap in, guardians-it is going to be awesome.
First, the big one: Marathon! Bungie is scheduled to do a complete reveal for gameplay on April 12 at 10 AM PT. This is the first real look at the game since that initial announcement, and you can just feel the fans losing it already. There are no details about what we will actually be seeing, but hey, it is Bungie, so I think we can expect some slick gunplay coupled with a few twists and probably some nail-biting moments sprinkled in for good measure. Hype train officially departs from the station, everybody.
Destiny 2: Heresy, then. It is playable at this very moment. What Heresy actually is remains a mystery: dungeon? raid? some wild seasonal activity?-but really, with Bungie, you know it’s going to be well worth it to jump in and see. The name most definitely suggests something dark and heavy on the lore, so watch out for some real storytelling.
Trials of Osiris is back this time with double loot. Yes, double. So if your blood, sweat, and tears have gone into finding that optimal roll, or if you merely want to flex on some new digs, now would be the time. Trials is already a sweaty endeavor, but this weekend, with that extra loot on the line, it might just become a higher level of sweaty. Bring your A-game.
Bungie updated the world banning and restriction measures as well. No specifics on what was updated this hour, but given the recent cheating scandals, tightening should be dealing with exploiters and bastards. Great news for people who play fair; terrible news for the ones who rely on dirty tricks.
And that wraps it up for now. Things are moving fast, and Marathon’s reveal is just on the horizon, so these next few weeks will firm up. Stay alert, and perhaps prepare for some chaos that Heresy will unleash.
