Read our full Destiny review.

Bungie has announced some exciting new events coming to Destiny in the next few weeks, making good on its promise to deliver endgame content for those players that grabbed the game at its September 9 release and proceeded to immediately fight their way to the game’s level 20 cap.

This weekend, September 12 to 14, you can take part in the intense, 3v3 battles of Salvage. Struggle for control over valuable relics on small and medium maps for the promise of Crucible gear, marks, and reputation. Starting on September 16, advanced guardians will be able to open the Vault of Glass, a level 26 raid deep beneath the surface of Venus, where terrible forces are stirring. Later in September, you will be able to pilot the machines of war in Combined Arms and face the Queen’s Wrath, which have been teased with few details. October will bring the chance for bloody glory under the Iron Banner.

The developer promises even more surprises in the coming weeks, including the arrival of mysterious characters at The Tower and a greater frequency of Public Events springing up in popular locations.

We’ve been greatly enjoying Destiny so far, and will share a full review by next week after diving into the endgame content.

Destiny 2: Lightfall fails to deliver its Avengers: Infinity War moment

The comparison between Destiny 2: Lightfall and Avengers: Infinity War is immediate from the opening moments of Bungie's latest expansion. There is no more exposition to get through; the Witness, a mythical villain that represents the root of the Darkness that Guardians have fought against for close to a decade, is here, and the Traveler who has given our heroes the Light and their god-like abilities is under direct threat. The stakes couldn't be higher, but Lightfall doesn't live up to that moment.

I'm not drawing connections here that shouldn't be made -- the bombastic opening moments of Lightfall call back Infinity War's unrelenting momentum in its first act. The Traveler is under siege in Lightfall and Guardians are dismantled by a flick of the Witness' wrist, echoing the immediate slaughter brought by the hands of Thanos moments before he arrived on Earth. That feeling is the same; our antagonist is here, and there's nowhere else to run. In the final moments of the campaign, a member of my fireteam even exclaimed, "hey, that's a line from Infinity War."

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."
