Destiny Content Update + Sequel Info Revealed


After teasing such an update in their regular weekly update yesterday, Bungie today revealed Destiny's next content update, 'Age of Triumph', releasing at the "end of March", plus some details about Destiny 2.

The largest piece of news concerning the latter is (finally), the confirmation that all players' characters from Destiny 1 will have their stats and equipment reset for the sequel. Though players who've reached Level 20, and finished the main story of the game's campaign, will be able to carry over their character's appearance. No DLC for the original is required to do these, so most dedicated players should have this option.

Plus, accounts with these accomplishments will be awarded "honors that reflect your Destiny 1 accomplishments". No specifics on what these rewards will be as of yet.

Going back to plain ol' Destiny 1, Bungie's social manager DeeJ, describing the impending Age of Triumph update, said: "We intend for it to be a fun and memorable celebration that will bring the first major chapter of our Destiny adventures to a fitting close". The official gameplay reveal of Age of Triumph will be March 8th, on Bungie's Twitch channel.

As is typical for Destiny content updates, future streams taking place in the weeks following the initial reveal stream will reveal more and more details. On March 15th, a stream concerning the update's weekly content will take place, and on March 22nd, details on the update's sandbox content will be shown.

DeeJ also made clear that more details concerning Destiny 2 will be revealed later this year, which is also when it's expected to release.

In the last months, most of Destiny's new updates have been restricted to balancing updates and the ever-illusive Iron Banner. Destiny's last major content update was released in December of 2016, with the return of the Sparrow Racing League, and its last major expansion was last September, with the release of Rise of Iron.

Antoine Boutin: A Career in Concept Art

Image
[This article was originally created in July 2018 for the rather short-lived website Envision Gaming, which I wrote a few pieces for, before it sort of imploded. The interview was carried out via e-mail.] Antoine Boutin has made a career out of creating art for games, ads, and film. He’s currently working for One Pixel Brush, a company that outsources their hires to AAA and indie devs in order to create concept art, a crucial part of any game’s production. Among Antoine’s portfolio is art for Detroit: Become Human, Quantic Dream’s latest narrative epic. I got in touch with Antoine and he shed some light on his work, his inspirations, and his process. Street Life ( Detroit: Become Human) | Antoine Boutin/Quantic Dream Hi, Antoine! First of all, can you introduce yourself? What do you do, what studios have you worked for, what kind of work do you produce for them? Hi! I am Antoine Boutin, I am 30 years old, and have been a concept artist for almost 6 years now.

October 2017 - The Month in Gaming

Image
While October may be traditionally known as the month of madness, all things horror-related, and eating way too much candy, it can be celebrated for another reason too. Namely, the mountain of games we're getting as the fall starts, and the run-up to Christmas begins. So, for the first instalment of 'The Month in Gaming', here's some of the games you should be keeping an eye on for the month of October 2017. Stardew Valley Release Date: 5th October  Platform: Switch Starting off we have a game that, in truth, has been out for over a year now. Originally released in February 2016 as a PC-exclusive, Stardew Valley has captured many hearts and minds with its farm and dating sim gameplay (it's sold over a million copies on Steam alone). There's also some monster-slaying thrown in for good measure. What more could you want? Since its initial release, Stardew Valley has found a place on PS4, Xbox One, and now, the Nintendo Switch. In the likely scenario th...

Hurt Records, and a Talk with Its Founder

Image
[Uni assignment, scroll on if you're here for games. :)] I made a playlist recently. This playlist contained all the music I have on my phone that was released by, or artists represented by, the independent label Hurt Records . It comes up to 1,240 minutes, or just under 21 hours. That's no small amount of music. Hurt was founded in 2014, though the music you can find there stretches back to 2007. Amongst its archive, you can find nine albums, 11 EPs, and a wide variety of singles, from artists including Two Down, Quiet One, and Portraits. Again, no small amount, and even more impressive considering six of the seven acts represented by Hurt are bands/projects created or partially created by the same person who founded the label. That person is Ben Slack (more commonly known on the internet as Benn, or Benn Down). I recently e-mailed Benn and sent him a mass variety of questions relating to Hurt, his music, and his other ventures. The oldest project in Hurt’s r...
