Destiny and Halo developer Bungie has just turned 30, so a mid-life crisis likely isn't too far away. To mark the moment, though, Destiny 2 has been treated to a special 30th-anniversary bundle containing a load of goodies that reference the studio's long past. It was released yesterday for PlayStation 5 and PS4, priced at £21.99/$24.99. In amongst items themed around Marathon, Myth, and Oni, there's also the return of Destiny's most popular and well-known weapon: the Gjallarhorn rocket launcher.
It quickly became known as one of the rarest drops in the original Destiny game, famed for its overpowered enemy-seeking missiles. Now it's back along with a Thorn armour set and a new Dungeon. "Plunder the new three-player dungeon inspired by famed Cosmodrome loot caves of yore. Reveal a tale of riches and regret as you follow an adventurer who traded his humanity for treasure."
However, if you don't fancy coughing up any cash, you can still take part in the new Dares of Eternity activity for free. This new content is designed to keep the community invested until Destiny 2's next expansion, titled The Witch Queen, arrives in February 2022. We'll see more from that at The Game Awards later this week.

This is such a Bungie move help us celebrate by giving us money! Destiny 1 was a huge part of my ps4 gaming life. Fell off Destiny 2 quite quickly just don't like there business model can't see me ever going back.
@lolwhatno - Bungie develop and publish D2. They get the money alright. Just not my money, ever again!
Lol, I got gjallahorn the first time I ran the dungeon in D1, many years ago.
I agree with others comments about D2 though; never really liked it that much, and we sure found out that it wasn't Activision who were making the game 'less fun'
The new (FREE) six man activity is basically a giant scale Total Wipeout style game show hosted by Xur and a magical horse made out of starlight - called Starhorse. And it's brilliant fun.
No I'm not on drugs although Bungie might be.
The new dungeon is excellent too, and heavily reminiscent of D1. Which is a good thing.
Gjallarhorn is sufficiently OP to get nerfed down the line, new and revised weapon drops are cool (especially the Halo Battle Rifle).
Happy they took my money TBH.
Marathon on the Mac gave me my first ever jump scare in a game. Enjoyed it but it was also my first and last Bungie game.
