| Destiny 2 has spent the bulk of the past few months gearing up for the release of the Warmind DLC, which releases today. The expansion content will follow the journey of a Guardian named Ana Bray as she attempts to uncover a mystery in the polar ice caps. The story will eventually lead to the unveiling of the AI Rasputin, a key figure in Destiny lore. It's a huge moment for Destiny 2 , and will coincide with the game's entry into Season 3 of its content, which will provide updates to various equipment, PS4 exclusive PvE content, and m | Officially, the Vanguard has no idea what happened to him after that, beyond a vague report that he went to Mercury. But based on the just-released trailer for Curse of Osiris , it seems that at least one Guardian has secretly been keeping tabs on him: his protégé, Ikora Rey. Given his interest in the Vex, it shouldn't be surprising that Osiris turned up on the closest planet to our sun — a planet now used by the Vex as part of its universal hive mind netw |

| Bungie continues working against players as they've now blocked select **Destiny 2 ** end-game content for those who haven't purchased the game's DLC. The game's first mini-expansion, Curse of Osiris , released this past Tuesday and came with new missions - as well as an increase in the game's soft level cap, from 20 to 25, and gear level cap, from 300 to 330 (gear can be increased by 5 using legendary mods) - in addition to introducing new higher-level, end-game content, such as Heroic Stri | According to Bungie's extensive Destiny lore , Osiris was a human Warlock and one-time apprentice to the Speaker. His heroism in one of the earliest battles fought after the construction of the City allowed him to rise to the position of Vanguard Commander — the same office now held by Zavala. Highly respected and fiercely skilled, he was also the mentor of Ikora Rey, current representative of the Warlock class among the Vanguard leaders |

| Now that Cayde is officially dead, it will be interesting to see how the Destiny 2 playerbase responds. Cayde was always a polarizing character who had just as many vocal detractors as he had supporters, and the event has people buzzing. If the aim of Destiny 2: Forsaken is to make things darker while also attracting some lapsed players back into the fold, it appears Bungie has found the right mix of intrigue and outrage to do so. Whether or not the expansion can actually retain its players is a whole other argument, but it's one that will have to be had on another day - and without Cayde-6, who likely would have had something very witty to say regarding the whole th | While Creutz's analysis offers a financial perspective on the matter, it is no surprise to anyone involved in the gaming industry that microtransactions are unpopular. Recent releases such as UFC 3 , FIFA Ultimate Team and Middle Earth: Shadow of War all drew fire from fans and game critics alike for introducing microtransaction-based mechanics.

| The clues, assembled by players on the Destiny subreddit , to the Exo Stranger's identity in Destiny 2 are scattered all over the Warmind expansion, and while no single hint is concrete evidence, the overwhelming amount of them makes it pretty obvious. The expansion features elements known as Lost Memory Fragments, which players can destroy to find text and lore that relates to the memories of Elsie Bray.

| Curse of Osiris comes on the heels of Bungie suffering overwhelming backlash for rigging Destiny 2 's XP system , with regard to players earning Bright Engrams post-Level 20, thus forcing them to " fix " the system. But they failed to mention if they would make it up their mistake to players by compensating them with in-game rewards that they lost out on.

| Destiny 2 's Warmind expansion released last week as a much-needed infusion of new content for Activision and Bungie's MMO/FPS hybrid. Destiny 2 has been dealing with a lot of criticism as of late, with many fans regarding the controversy over loot boxes and the lack of end-game content as warning flags that the game is headed down the same road as its predecessor.
