Rhymes of the exotic kind, part two
Absolutely ages ago (summer of 2016), we wrote an article about YouTuber DUBA and his surprisingly creative Destiny exotic weapons rap - the perfect sort of madness for one of our rarely used 'Weirdness' articles. Now, DUBA's back with a rap that's perhaps even more impressive, if only because we can'

News Activision Talks Destiny 2 at Its Latest Financial Briefing
Light the way
Earlier in the year, Bungie revealed that there will indeed be a Destiny 2, but it won't be landing until 2017 - late 2017, we imagine.

Rumour Destiny 2 Shooting For a Fresh Audience, Will Be a Totally New Game
Say goodbye to your exotics
Looking at Destiny from the perspective of a big publisher like Activision and an ambitious studio like Bungie, Destiny 2's inevitable fate is perhaps easy to determine.
