Andrew Highton

This newest edition of This Week at Bungie has revealed some new information about Destiny 2 and provided an insight into all the changes coming to the game. Find out what they are with the latest Destiny 2 update & patch notes.

There’s been a lot going on with Bungie and Destiny 2 recently, mostly thanks to the release of the Beyond Light expansion. Adding a new planet, new enemies, and abilities certainly generate some hype and buzz.

But as with most things, some change is always welcome to make things better. In addition to the crossover to next-gen and the commotion surrounding the Deep Stone Crypt raid, there are also gameplay changes coming to classes, items, and more.
